grunwald
Herbert Grünwaldt is a German painter and graphic artist. He studied at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts.
Inspired by a particular sense of nature as well as observations on romantic genres and impressions of literature and music, an artistic journey from the naturalistic to the surrealist emerges. In this way his works mix clear observation and fantastic interpretation.
Herbert Grunwaldt was also inspired by Scandinavian landscapes. His artistic sensitivity to maritime motifs is particularly evident in his depictions of ships. His work is characterised by an uncompromising clarity.
Jean Duvet was a French Renaissance goldsmith and engraver, now best known for his engravings. He was the first significant French printmaker. He produced about seventy-three known plates, that convey a highly personal style, often compared to that of William Blake, with very crowded compositions, a certain naive quality, and intense religious feeling. According to Henri Zerner, his work has a "freedom and immediacy that have no equivalent in Renaissance printmaking".
