Jean Henri Benner was a French miniature painter and portraitist.
Benner was a pupil of the French painter Jean-Baptiste Isabey (French: Jean-Baptiste Isabey, 1767-1855). In 1815-16 he worked in Warsaw, and from 1816 to 1825 - in St. Petersburg, where he painted portraits of representatives of the Russian and Polish aristocracy.
In Russia Henri Benner also created a series of 24 portraits of the Russian tsars of the Romanov dynasty, members of their families and court dignitaries - the so-called "Romanov Suite". This series is unique: it is executed in several sets. Now three sets of the series are kept in the State Hermitage.
In parallel, Benner created other albums of miniature portraits, which enjoyed great success at the time. And even before Russia, in 1812, he executed a series of miniatures depicting representatives of the Habsburg dynasty.

Robert Combas is a French painter and sculptor. He lives and works in Paris.
He is widely recognized as a progenitor of the figuration libre movement that began in Paris around 1980 as a reaction to the art establishment in general and minimalism and conceptual art in particular.
Figuration libre is often regarded as having roots in Fauvism and Expressionism and is linked to contemporary movements such as Bad Painting and Neo-expressionism. It draws on pop cultural influences such as graffiti, cartoons and rock music in an attempt to produce a more varied, direct and honest reflection of contemporary society, often satirizing or critiquing its excesses.
