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.
Jan Frans van Bloemen was a Flemish landscape painter mainly active in Rome. Here he was able to establish himself as the leading painter of views (vedute) of the Roman countryside depicted in the aesthetic of the classical landscape tradition.
Michiel Carree of Karé was a Dutch painter and decorator of the Golden Age.
Carree was a famous landscape painter: King Frederick of Prussia invited him to Berlin and appointed him court painter. After the king's death, he returned to Holland and was mainly engaged in decorating the palaces of the noble townspeople. Carrée often depicted livestock in his landscapes, and these paintings can now be seen in the Rotterdam Museum.
