Erwin A. Schinzel was a Czech sculptor who lived and worked in Germany. He is deservedly called a classic of modern sculpture.
Schinzel studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin and was a freelance artist from 1945. He also worked as a professor at the International Academy in Bologna and at the International Academy of Fine Arts in Altenberg.
During his long life, Schinzel created hundreds of sculptures and demonstrated his skills in almost every genre. His work includes interior and fountain sculptures as well as outdoor sculptures, including many very realistic depictions of animals.
Schinzel's award-winning works are represented in numerous public and private art collections and have been exhibited worldwide in solo and group exhibitions.
Johann Georg Hainz was a German painter of the last third of the 17th century, a representative of the Baroque. He is known as a painter and a master of still life.
Hainz is a key figure of still life painting in Hamburg and one of the few known masters of the genre in Germany in the seventeenth century. He probably trained in Amsterdam and Haarlem, as his works show a good knowledge of Dutch still life painting. He was a member of the art guild of Hamburg from 1681. His works are held in various museums in Germany, including the Hamburg Museum of Arts and Crafts and the Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin.
