Jörg Immendorff was a German painter and sculptor, stage designer and decorator, and a member of the New Wild movement.
Immendorff painted in cycles that often lasted for years and were political in nature. His series of sixteen large paintings, Café Deutschland (1977-1984), is well known. In these colorful paintings, numerous disco lovers symbolize the conflict between East and West Germany.
Immendorff prepared several stage productions and designed sets for the operas Elektra and The Rider's Voyage. 25 of Immendorf's paintings were selected in 2006 for the illustrated Bible.
Jacob Adriaensz. Bellevois was a Dutch marine painter.
Bellevois was a follower of Jan Porcellis and Simon de Vlieger and specialized in seascapes. The artist was apparently well acquainted with maritime affairs: his dramatic depictions of various ships in a raging sea and shipwrecks on cliffs are full of characteristic detail.
