Nelson Gray Kinsley was an American landscape, hunting and wildlife painter.
Paul Emil Rumpf was a German painter and illustrator. Emil Rumpf was the son of the Frankfurt painter Philipp Rumpf. After the first artistic lessons from his father, Rumpf went to the Düsseldorf Art Academy. He later moved to the Karlsruhe Art Academy. In the summer of 1888 he became a private student of Caspar Ritter at the Städel Institute. Since Rumpf's parents had settled in Kronberg im Taunus in 1875, Rumpf had - apart from a few trips - centered his life there. After becoming acquainted with some of his fellow painters, Rumpf soon joined the Kronberg painters' colony.
Karl Luckhardt was a painter, draughtsman and etcher. He trained as a lithographer and studied with Emil Gies at the Städel from 1907. After military service and studies in Munich, he settled in Frankfurt as a freelance artist. In the 1920s he became a popular commissioned painter, known for his depictions of rural life. Although Luckhardt fell out of favour after the Second World War, he regained recognition through public commissions and the support of friends. His detailed and sensitive depictions of landscapes, portraits and still lifes were well received by the public. While his work was popular with the public, it was often criticised by art critics for its typecasting. A retrospective in 1985 drew attention to Luckhardt's forgotten early works, including important oil studies, watercolours, drawings and etchings. His preferred subjects included landscapes, country life, animals, portraits and still lifes, with a focus on Frankfurt and its surroundings.
