Johann Liss worked primarily in the mythological genre. He is considered one of the key artists of the German Baroque and a prominent representative of the Venetian school. Early in his career, the artist traveled to the Netherlands, where he was influenced by a number of Dutch and Flemish masters. Italy inspired him to synthesize Dutch genre painting, Venetian style and Roman realism.
His paintings are in numerous European collections as well as in Russia and the United States.

Ernst Heinrich Barlach was a German expressionist sculptor, medallist, printmaker and writer. Although he was a supporter of the war in the years leading to World War I, his participation in the war made him change his position, and he is mostly known for his sculptures protesting against the war. This created many conflicts during the rise of the Nazi Party, when most of his works were confiscated as degenerate art. Stylistically, his literary and artistic work would fall between the categories of twentieth-century Realism and Expressionism.
