Ferdinand Kobell was a German painter of the second half of the eighteenth century. He is known as a painter, graphic artist, printmaker and landscape painter.
Kobell painted landscapes inspired by the style of Nicholas Berchem. His oil paintings are in many German galleries, but he was much more skillful, according to critics, in conveying the states of nature with an engraving needle. Kobbel is considered a master of landscape etchings, which are recognized as some of the best of the 18th century.
Kobell had seven children, including Wilhelm von Kobell, who also became a landscape, animalist and battle painter.
Cornelis Petrus t'Hoen was a Dutch landscape painter.
He was a merchant and in his adulthood, after marrying an artist, he began studying painting at The Hague Academy of Fine Arts. One of his teachers was Andreas Schelfhout (1787-1870), who managed to reveal the talent of his adult pupil.
Cornelis Petrus t'Hoen painted mainly peaceful rural and coastal landscapes and mills. He was especially successful in winter scenes with the participation of villagers.
Simon van den Berg was a Dutch painter, a prominent representative of 19th-century Dutch Romanticism.
Simon was a farmer's son and took up painting rather late. However, after studying with the painters Moleyn in Rotterdam, J. de Meijer and P.G. van Os, who specialized in animals and landscapes, Simon van den Berg became a prominent painter in Holland.
He painted pastoral scenes with shepherds and livestock, and also worked with etchings and lithographs. Van den Berg was director of the Mauritshuis (Maurice House) from 1880 to 1889. During his long life, he also nurtured many talented young artists.
Christian Georg Schütz was a German painter and engraver.
Louis-Pierre Verwee or Louis Pierre Verwée was a Belgian painter known for his rural landscapes with cattle and winter landscapes. He is the principal representative of the Romantic school in Belgian landscape painting characterised by a return to nature. His early works are similar to those of his master Verboeckhoven, to the extent that it is often difficult to distinguish their work. Verboeckhoven sometimes painted the figures and animals in Verwee's pictures. Verwee's paintings of forests and rivers are in the stereotypical, romantic way. In the later part of his career he strived for innovation, but from 1837 onwards he became stuck in ever-changing winter landscapes. Louis-Pierre Verwee depicted these landscapes with low-hanging, heavy snow clouds over wintry land and waterways and dotted with figures. He used light blue and metallic gray in his color palette in an effort to suggest the intimate, moody aspect of such landscapes. In some of these paintings Florent Willems and Verboeckhoven painted the figures. He made a number of lithographs after works of Eugène Verboeckhoven.
