Simon Dittrich is a German painter and graphic artist who lives and works in Stuttgart, Munich, Tuscany and Styria.
Dittrich studied painting at the University of Fine Arts in Berlin, is a member of the Munich and Darmstadt Secession, and a member of the Sudeten-German Academy of Sciences.
Simon Dittrich's early works are dominated by landscapes, animals and still lifes, characterized by varied color and clear lines that emphasize contours. His later works, however, gravitate towards figurative concepts with an abstract tendency.
Adolph Jebens was a German painter of the mid-nineteenth century. He is known as a portrait painter and battle-painter.
Jebens moved to Russia in 1844 and became a teacher of painting at the Drawing School of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of Arts. He created several portraits commissioned by His Imperial Majesty's Cabinet, including a portrait of Emperor Nicholas I. The artist was especially famous for his series of paintings devoted to the Russian army, of which 137 canvases are known. His works are represented in various museums, including the Hermitage, the Russian Museum, imperial palaces and many museums in Germany and Poland.
