In 1937, as part of the Nazi "Degenerate Art" campaign, his graphic portfolio "Don Quixote" (15 etchings and a lithograph on the title page) from the Dusseldorf Art Collection and his panel "Nude Woman" were confiscated and destroyed.
Franz Werner von Tamm, known as Dapper, was a German Baroque painter. One of the most famous masters of German still life in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
Franz Werner von Tamm studied painting in Italy in the studio of Carlo Maratta. In 1701 he was invited to Vienna as court painter to Emperor Leopold I, where he remained until his death.
He painted with a soft brush live and dead poultry as well as flowers and animals, rather decoratively with an immediate mood.

Gaspard Duguet received his artistic training from his uncle, Nicolas Poussin, who was one of the leading Baroque painters. Duguet's early works were strongly influenced by Poussin's style, which emphasized clarity and orderliness of composition.
In the 1650s, Duguet began to develop a style of his own, characterized by his bold brushwork and vibrant use of colour. He became known for his ability to create dramatic and atmospheric landscapes, often depicting scenes from the Roman countryside.
Gaspar Duguet's paintings have a sense of grandeur and monumentality. His landscapes often feature classical ruins and ancient monuments, giving his works a sense of historical depth and resonance.
Jan Josephsz. van Goyen was a Dutch landscape painter and draftsman of the Golden Age, a member of the Guild of St. Luke of Leiden, and a representative of the so-called tonal landscape.

Ferdinand Heilbuth was a nineteenth-century German painter who spent much of his career in France. He is particularly known as a watercolorist, one of the first members of the Society of French Watercolorists.
Heilbuth initially became famous for his portraits done in the style of Titian and Rembrandt. Later, however, he abandoned the portrait genre entirely in favor of historical and everyday subjects and began to depict scenes from the high society of past times. Then, having become a plein air painter, he painted landscapes in Paris and made sketches in London. His paintings were distinguished by their lightness, airiness and masterful technique, and his watercolors were especially skillful.
Willem Kalf was one of the most prominent Dutch still-life painters of the 17th century, the Dutch Golden Age.
Ettore Forti is an Italian painter who produced numerous paintings on ancient themes.
Ettore Forti worked in Rome and peaked in popularity in the 1890s and 1900s. Art historians classify the work of Forti to the so-called Neopompeian school, which was characterized by an aspiration to reproduce the image of Ancient Rome in their paintings as faithfully as possible (at the level of advanced historical knowledge of their time). For this purpose they actively used, in particular, data obtained by scientists during archaeological excavations in Herculaneum and Pompeii. Whereas other artists were mainly interested in scenes from ancient mythology or depictions of significant historical events, the Neo-Pompeians were characterised by an interest in genre painting and the reproduction of scenes from ancient everyday life.

In 1713 he returned to Forl, where he painted altarpieces and easel paintings for private individuals and monastic patrons in the Emilia-Romagna region. His earliest known work is the cycle of altarpiece icons in the church of St. Onofrio in Lugo, near Ravenna. In Forle, Stern also painted Our Lady with Child and Saints for the Dominicans.

Adolph Friedrich Erdmann von Menzel was a German Realist artist noted for drawings, etchings, and paintings. Along with Caspar David Friedrich, he is considered one of the two most prominent German painters of the 19th century, and was the most successful artist of his era in Germany. First known as Adolph Menzel, he was knighted in 1898 and changed his name to Adolph von Menzel.
His popularity in his native country, owing especially to his history paintings, was such that few of his major paintings left Germany, as many were quickly acquired by museums in Berlin. Menzel's graphic work (and especially his drawings) were more widely disseminated; these, along with informal paintings not initially intended for display, have largely accounted for his posthumous reputation.
