Gaspar Peeter Verbruggen was a Flemish still life painter who is principally known for his decorative still lifes with flowers and fruit. He collaborated with figure artists on compositions which combined figures with a still life element. He was active in Antwerp and The Hague.
Georg Flegel was a German painter, best known for his still-life works.
According to the RKD he was pupil of Lucas van Valckenborch in Linz during 1582-1592. In a period of about 30 years (c. 1600–1630), he produced 110 watercolor and oil pictures, mostly still-life images which often depicted tables set for meals and covered with food, flowers and the occasional animal.
Sebastian Stoskopff was an Alsatian painter. He is considered one of the most important German still life painters of his time. His works, which were rediscovered after 1930, portray goblets, cups and especially glasses. The reduction to a few objects, which is characteristic of early still life painting, can again be recognized in Stoskopff's painting. His chief works hang in his hometown of Strasbourg, but some of the world's most important art museums (the MET, the Louvre, the KHM, the Gemäldegalerie) own paintings by Stoskopff as well.
Jakob Marrel was a German still life painter active in Utrecht during the Dutch Golden Age.
Nadezhda Andreevna Udaltsova (Russian: Наде́жда Андре́евна Удальцо́ва) was a Russian avant-garde artist known for her contributions to Cubism and Suprematism and her participation in the avant-garde movement of pre-revolutionary Russia. Udaltsova was born into an officer's family in Orel, western Russia, on December 29, 1886, and died on January 25, 1961, in Moscow, USSR. Udaltsova was deeply influenced by French Cubism, which she encountered in the art collection of Sergei Shchukin. This encounter was a decisive turning point in her artistic path, leading her to post-impressionism and then to avant-garde art forms.
After the 1917 revolution, her art was recognized by the new regime. Udaltsova played a significant role in education, as a professor and senior lecturer at VKhUTEMAS, the Higher Art and Technical Workshops, and a member of the Institute of Artistic Culture (Inhuk). Despite hardships, including the NKVD's execution of her husband Alexander Drevin in 1938, and becoming persona non grata in Soviet art circles, she continued her artistic endeavors, holding a solo exhibition in 1945 and participating in a group exhibition in 1958.
Udaltsova's legacy is remarkable not only for her artistic achievements, but also for the challenges she overcame. Her work is in prestigious collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), attesting to her indelible impact on the art world.
