Frederik de Moucheron the Elder was a Dutch landscape painter of the Dutch Golden Age.
Frederik studied under Jan Asselain (1610-1652), then spent three years in Paris before settling in Amsterdam in 1659. De Moucheron painted French, Italian and Dutch landscapes, reproducing with particular care the effects of sunset and gray clouds. Works by this artist are represented in many European art galleries, such as those in St. Petersburg and the Dresden Gallery.
He was the father of the landscape painters Isak de Moucheron and Frederik de Moucheron the Younger.
Theodor Joseph Hagen was a German painter and art teacher.
He was one of the founders of German Impressionism. After trying out several styles during his early years, he became attracted to the plein-air painting of the French Barbizon School.
From 1893, he was a member of the Munich Secession and, from 1902, the Berlin Secession.
Hans Thoma was a German painter.
In spite of his studies under various masters, his art has little in common with modern ideas, and is formed partly by his early impressions of the simple idyllic life of his native district, partly by his sympathy with the early German masters, particularly with Albrecht Altdorfer and Lucas Cranach the Elder. In his love of the details of nature, in his precise drawing of outline, and in his predilection for local coloring, he has distinct affinities with the Pre-Raphaelites.
