Otto Lange was a German Expressionist painter and graphic artist.
Lange was arrested by the National Socialists in 1933, and lost his professorship. He then worked as a freelance artist in Dresden. In 1938, two of his paintings were shown at the Munich Degenerate Art Exhibition.
Lange produced an extensive body of printed graphic work; his subjects ranged from religious representations to still lifes to book illustrations. His woodcuts differed from those of other expressionists, as Lange mainly used an elaborate technique of colour printing. Most of the time he did not print his work with a press or use a brayer, but instead made hand rubbings after he had inked the printing block directly with a brush.

Gustave Clarence Rodolphe Boulanger was a French painter renowned for his classical and Orientalist themes. He was born in Paris and became an accomplished academic artist, earning accolades such as the Prix de Rome in 1849.
Gustave Boulanger's paintings often focused on historical subjects, with influences from Greek and Roman mythology, as well as Orientalism, particularly Middle Eastern themes. He also depicted scenes of daily life in ancient civilizations and had a knack for blending the ancient with the modern. Notable works by Boulanger include "Répétition théâtrale dans la maison d’un poète romain" (1855), presented at the Salon of 1855, which later inspired the Pompeiian palace inauguration. His style was known for its theatricality and ability to bridge the past with contemporary aesthetics.
Some of his significant works are housed in various museums and galleries, including the British Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Hermitage Museum. Examples of his works include "The Flute Concert," "The Slave Market," and "Theatrical Rehearsal in the House of an Ancient Roman Poet".
Gustave Boulanger also played a role in the cultural landscape of his time, teaching at the Académie Julian, where he influenced a generation of artists. His contributions to art and his ability to capture the spirit of different eras continue to be celebrated by collectors and experts in art and antiques.
