Paolo Anesi was an Italian painter of the 18th century, active mainly in painting capriccios and landscapes (vedute) in the style of Giovanni Paolo Pannini.
Martin Lister was a British naturalist and physician.
It could be argued that Lister founded two fields of natural history: arachnology (the study of spiders) and conchology (the study of the shells of organisms). He wrote more than 60 articles in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, published several volumes on natural history, speculated on the mysterious nature of fossils, and was successful as a physician.
Lister employed his artist daughters to illustrate his books on insects and molluscs - the names of Susanna and Anne appear on the title pages of the volumes. The Lister family published Historiæ Conchyliorum between 1685 and 1692.
Achille Vertunni was an Italian landscape painter. He studied painting at the Royal Institute of Fine Arts in Naples.
A great influence on Achille Vertunni's work was the Posillipo school. His paintings are characterised by sunsets in the Roman countryside and Pontic marshes, sometimes enlivened by shepherds and herds of buffalo.
Jules Achille Noël, born Louis Assez Noël, was a French landscape and maritime painter who worked primarily in Brittany and Normandy.
