Bernard van Orley was a versatile Flemish artist and representative of Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting, who was equally active as a designer of tapestries and, at the end of his life, stained glass. Although he never visited Italy, he belongs to the group of Italianizing Flemish painters called the Romanists, who were influenced by Italian Renaissance painting, in his case especially by Raphael.
William Congdon is an American artist known for his strong and deeply personal paintings exploring themes of spirituality, existentialism and the human condition.
William Congdon's early work was influenced by Expressionism and the post-war abstract art movement. Over time, however, his artistic style evolved, and he developed a unique approach combining abstraction with representational elements. His paintings often depicted isolated figures, cityscapes and landscapes, conveying a sense of introspection and emotional depth.
Congdon's works are characterised by a rich colour palette, dramatic brushwork and a sense of raw emotion. He explored the contrast between light and darkness, creating compositions that were both contemplative and expressive.
