Sandro Chia is an Italian painter and sculptor. In the late 1970s and early 1980s he was, with Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi, Nicola De Maria, and Mimmo Paladino, a principal member of the Italian Neo-Expressionist movement which was baptised Transavanguardia by Achille Bonito Oliva.
Nicolas Sanson the Elder (Nicolas Sanson d’Abbeville) was a French cartographer who served under two kings in matters of geography. He has been called the "father of French cartography." He gave lessons in geography both to Louis XIII and to Louis XIV. Active from 1627, Sanson issued his first map of importance, the "Postes de France". After publishing several general atlases himself he became the associate of Pierre Mariette, a publisher of prints. He died in Paris on 7 July 1667. Two younger sons succeeded him as geographers to the king. Sanson's maps were used as a model by his son, Guillaume, and, at least initially, by Duval, his nephew, in his 1664 folio map and 1660 atlas minor map. In 1692 Hubert Jaillot collected Sanson's maps in an Atlas nouveau.
Nicola Samori is an Italian painter-painter and sculptor known for his brutal manipulation of works of art.
He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and lives and works in Bagnacavallo.
Samori's work is inspired by the works of great masters, more often in the Baroque style of the 16th and 17th centuries: he creates copies of them and then rips, scratches, pierces them, thereby transforming them, filling them with the restless spirit of our time. In roughly the same way, the artist also creates sculptural works, giving birth to new, modern images rooted in the history of art.

Nicolas de Staël was a Russian-born French artist known for his abstract and figurative paintings. He was born in 1914 in St. Petersburg, Russia and grew up in a wealthy family. In 1919, his family fled Russia and settled in Poland before eventually moving to Brussels, Belgium.
De Staël began studying painting at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels in 1932. After several years of studying and traveling, he settled in Paris in 1938, where he became associated with the group of artists known as the School of Paris.
During the 1940s and 1950s, de Staël developed a distinctive style that blended elements of abstraction and figuration. He used a palette knife and bold, thick brushstrokes to create abstract landscapes and seascapes that were often inspired by his travels to the south of France and the Mediterranean.
In the early 1950s, de Staël began to incorporate figurative elements into his work, creating portraits and still lifes that were characterized by their simplified forms and bold colors. He also experimented with different mediums, including lithography and stained glass.
De Staël's work was well-received by critics and collectors during his lifetime, and he participated in numerous exhibitions in France and internationally. However, he struggled with depression and committed suicide. His legacy has continued to inspire artists and art lovers around the world, and his paintings are held in the collections of major museums, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Nicolas Lagneau was a French draftsman noted for his portrait drawings. He was especially interested in grotesque physiognomies, which he drew in meticulous detail either from models or from his imagination. His drawings are usually executed in black and red chalk, sometimes with the addition of blue or yellow gouache. In their heightened realism, and their emphasis on facial expressions, wrinkles, and deformities, Lagneau's portraits reveal the influence of Rembrandt's early works.
Lagneau's drawings are plentiful in French and US museums.
