Michael Neher was a German painter and architectural decorator.
Michael studied at the Academy in Munich, in 1819 went to Italy and spent five years there, including two years in Rome, where he studied architectural painting in the studio of the artist Heinrich Maria von Hess, and in 1825 returned to Munich.
As a typical representative of the Biedermeier era, Neher produced many costume drawings and landscapes. He also became famous for his views of public places and architectural depictions of many Bavarian towns. From 1837, Michel Neher devoted himself entirely to architectural painting and traveled to improve his skills along the Rhine and to Belgium. In 1839 he painted several salons in Hohenschwangen Castle from designs by Schwind, Gasner and Schwanthaler. In 1876 he was made an honorary member of the Munich Academy.

Maître François was a French illustrator who worked in Paris in the 1460s-1480s.
The identity of Maître François as an artist is first mentioned in a letter written by Robert Gauguin in 1473. Most of the prestigious commissions from the court and leading ecclesiastical figures of the time were carried out in François' studio. In Paris in the second half of the fifteenth century, one can trace the predominant style of illumination by the works of Master Jean Rolin, Maître François, and Master Jacques de Besançon. Bibliophiles close to the royal court encouraged the work of miniaturists through private commissions. In particular, Jacques d'Armagnac owned six manuscripts of Maitre Francois and his entourage.
Boccaccio's De casibus virorum illustrium was very popular in the 15th century, where the author retells the fates and downfalls of famous personalities from the Bible, antiquity and medieval history, ending with Boccaccio's own contemporaries in 14th-century Florence. For a long time this book was even more famous and successful than Boccaccio's Decameron. The text was translated into French in 1409 for Jean, Duke de Berry, by his secretary Laurent Premieffe. And the illustrations for the book were later created in the workshop of the then respected Maître François.
