Eberhard Viegener was a German expressionist painter, decorator, and printmaker.
In the 1930s his expressionist works were deemed "degenerate," and during the Nazi "Degenerate Art" campaign a considerable number of them were removed from state collections and destroyed.
Later Figener shifted abruptly from the expressionist style to the style of New Objectivity, or Neue Sachlichkeit. He began to paint, in particular, architectural still lifes with ceramic objects.
Eberhard Figener was the brother of the painter and sculptor Fritz Figener.
Frans Hogenberg was a Flemish and German painter, engraver, and mapmaker. He is known for portraits and topographical views as well as historical allegories. He also produced scenes of contemporary historical events. Hogenberg was the author of graphic works, engravings of city views and maps of the first four volumes of the six-volume atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Description and drawings of the most famous cities in the world), published in 1570 by the Flemish geographer Abraham Ortelius. Hogenberg's engravings are an invaluable source of information about urban development in medieval Europe.
Georg Braun was a German topographical geographer, cartographer and publisher.
Braun was the editor-in-chief of the Civitates orbis terrarum, a groundbreaking atlas of cities, one of the major cartographic achievements of the 16th century. It was the first comprehensive and detailed atlas, with plans of the world's famous cities and bird's-eye views, and became one of the best-selling works of the time.
The book was prepared by Georg Braun in collaboration with the Flemish engraver and cartographer Frans Hoogenberg. Braun, as editor-in-chief, acquired tables, hired artists, and wrote the texts. They drew on existing maps as well as maps based on drawings by the Antwerp artist Joris Hofnagel and his son Jacob. Other authors include Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1525-1569), Jacob van Deventer (c. 1505-1575), and more than a hundred other artists and engravers.
Christian Rohlfs was a German painter and printmaker, one of the important representatives of German expressionism.
Friedrich Wilhelm Otto Modersohn was a German painter of the late 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. He is known as a landscape painter, a representative of the Barbizon School.
Otto Modersohn produced Barbizonian-style landscapes early in his career, but from about 1890 his style became more expressionist, with an emphasis on his choice of colors. The death of his second wife influenced his style: the colors became darker and the images more stark. Modersohn was one of the founders of the Worpswede artists' colony. A large collection of his works is kept in the Modersohn Museum in Fischerhude, and a street in Berlin is also named after him.
Peter Lely, née Pieter van der Faes, was an English painter of Dutch origin, a member of the Guild of St. Luke in Haarlem.
In England his talent as a portrait painter was very highly regarded, he became a British subject and was knighted. For many years Lely had the title of the most fashionable portrait painter in England. He was the chief portrait painter at the court of Kings Charles I and Charles II. Lely painted many portraits of noble knights and ladies of the court.
