Jakob Philipp Hackert was a German painter of the second half of the 18th and early 19th centuries. He is known as a landscape painter and printmaker, a representative of neoclassicism and romanticism.
Hackert reached the peak of creative activity in 1770-1780. He was recognized by the European aristocracy, and for a time served as court painter to King Ferdinand IV of Naples, as well as receiving commissions from representatives of the Russian imperial family, such as Empress Catherine II and the heir to the throne, Paul Petrovich. His work, according to critics, was characterized by high craftsmanship and aristocratic elegance.
Friedrich Vordemberge, also known as Friedel Vordemberge, was a German painter, scenographer and teacher.
Friedrich studied painting at the Weimar Art Academy, the Berlin Art Academy and the Düsseldorf Art Academy, with breaks to participate in the First World War. He was friends with Erich Maria Remarque and in 1915 belonged to the Romantic circle that Remarque depicted in his youthful novel Traumbude. In 1921 Vordemberge became stage designer and deputy director of the Rheinische Land Theater in Düren, and in 1923 in Worpswede and Bremen. Later he settled in Cologne and founded the Cologne Artists' Exhibition Association (Ausstellungsgemeinschaft Kölner Maler), became a member of the German Artists' Association and took part in its big annual exhibition in 1929 with an oil painting "Notre Dame de Paris".
Vordemberge became known for his intensely colored oil paintings, mostly representational or somewhat reduced to basic geometric forms; he also became a master of atmospheric watercolors and drawings. His main artistic themes are city, landscape, sea, and still life.
Returning to Cologne after the war, he organized the Rhenish artists' community "Cologne 1945". In 1947 he was appointed to the newly opened Cologne School of Art, and in 1959 he became its director. For many years he continued to teach painting at the Cologne School of Art and Design.
Poppe Folkerts was a German marine painter, draughtsman and graphic artist. He studied at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts under Karl Salzmann. In 1907 and 1908 he studied figure and portrait painting in Düsseldorf with Eduard von Gebhardt, before going to Paris in 1909, where he was accepted at the Académie Julian.
Poppe Volkerts is considered one of the most outstanding artists of the Frisian coast. As an enthusiastic sailor, he was able to capture the peculiarities of this landscape, the struggle of people with the forces of nature and the fascination of the sea with its constantly changing weather conditions and moods, with a unique liveliness and intensity. His pastose application of paint, special lighting and pure colours create the spatial depth and radiance inherent in the paintings.
