William Shakespeare was a British poet and playwright and writer.
William's father, John Shakespeare, was a merchant and official in Stratford. There are reports that he was a sailor for a time before joining a theater company in London. Beginning in the 1590s, Shakespeare began writing plays, and in 1593 he published a poem, Venus and Adonis, which became popular. He dedicated it to the Duke of Southampton, who was a philanthropist and patron of talent, and soon his business was booming.
From 1592 to 1600 Shakespeare wrote his dramas and romantic comedies "Richard III", "The Taming of the Shrew", "Romeo and Juliet", "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "The Merchant of Venice", as well as the comedies "Much Ado About Nothing", "Twelfth Night" and the tragedy "Julius Caesar". The playwright's business was so successful that he even bought a large house in Stratford. In 1599, Shakespeare became one of the owners, playwright and actor of the new theater "Globe". In 1603 King James took Shakespeare's troupe under his direct patronage. In the mature period, the great playwright turned to tragedies, there were "Hamlet", "Othello", "King Lear", "Macbeth" and others.
Although in the 19th century researchers had some doubts about the authorship of many of these works, William Shakespeare is considered the greatest English playwright, one of the best playwrights in the world. His plays have been translated into all major languages and to this day form the basis of the world theatrical repertoire, most of them have been screened many times. According to the Guinness Book of Records, Shakespeare remains the world's best-selling playwright, and his plays and poems have sold more than 4 billion copies in the nearly 400 years since his death.

Arne Emil Jacobsen is a Danish architect and designer, the founder of the Danish Functionalism style.
He studied at the School of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and began working as an architect in the 1930s. Inspired by Art Nouveau, he designed several public buildings, including the Aarhus City Hall. In collaboration with Flemming Lassen, he first created a comprehensive overall interior design, including furniture, fixtures, plumbing and other details. After World War II, Arne Jacobsen made a name for himself both in Denmark and around the world.
For six decades, Arne Jacobsen was at the forefront of Danish architecture, creating visionary works of architecture that still look contemporary today. His projects often included both the building itself and the overall interior design as well as the design of the surrounding landscape. The combination of architecture and design is one of the constant characteristics of Arne Jacobsen's work. In projects such as the SAS Royal Hotel (1960) and St. Catherine's College in Oxford (1964), he not only created the architecture, but also designed every detail of the interiors, turning them into a true work of art.
In addition to architectural structures, Arne Jacobsen created a number of highly original chairs and other furniture. From his studio came avant-garde and innovative furniture, lamps, patterns, clocks, cutlery and glassware that are still in demand today.

Pierre Bonnard was a distinguished French painter and printmaker, recognized as one of the foremost colorists of modern art. Born on October 3, 1867, in Fontenay-aux-Roses, France, Bonnard initially pursued law studies before embracing his true calling in art. He attended the École des Beaux-Arts and the Académie Julian, where his journey as an artist began in earnest.
Bonnard's art is characterized by its vibrant use of color and the portrayal of intimate, sunlit domestic interiors and gardens. His works often include scenes populated with friends and family, creating a narrative that is both personal and relatable. His distinctive style was influenced by Japanese prints, evident in his use of bold patterns and flat color planes. This influence earned him the nickname "Le Nabi très japonard" among his peers in the Les Nabis group, an avant-garde artists' group he joined in his twenties.
His early work, such as "Woman in Checkered Dress" (1890), showcases the influence of Japanese prints. Bonnard's talent was evident from the beginning of his career, with Claude Roger-Marx noting in 1893 his ability to capture fleeting poses and expressions. His work evolved over time, moving towards a style that resonated with the Intimists' focus on personal and intimate spaces.
Bonnard's wife, Marthe, was a recurring subject in his paintings, often depicted in everyday scenarios. Their relationship, spanning several decades, was a significant influence on his work. His paintings, such as "Dining Room on the Garden" and "Landscape at Le Cannet," demonstrate his mastery in capturing light and color, creating a sense of warmth and intimacy.
Bonnard's work remains influential and celebrated, with his paintings held in esteemed collections worldwide. His ability to transform everyday scenes into vibrant, color-filled canvases has made him a beloved figure in the world of modern art.
Art collectors and experts in the field will find Bonnard's work a study in the transformative power of color and composition.
