William Daniell was a British landscape painter, marinist and aquatint printmaker, and a Royal Academician.
In his youth he traveled extensively in India with his uncle, the landscape painter Thomas Daniell (1749-1840), with whom he later worked on one of the best illustrated works of the time, Oriental Landscapes. In addition to sketches, William Daniell's diaries contain detailed and insightful descriptions of his travels in North and South India, which formed the basis of their subsequent publications and helped to shape a coherent British view of India.
Daniell was also a prolific engraver and produced countless illustrations for historical and travel works and volumes on the natural world. One of his most famous works was Journey Round Britain (4 volumes, 1814-1825).
William Daniell's work was exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution, and he became a Royal Academician in 1822.

Daniele Crespi was an Italian painter and draughtsman. He is regarded as one of the most original artists working in Milan in the 1620s. He broke away from the exaggerated manner of Lombard Mannerism in favour of an early Baroque style, distinguished by clarity of form and content. A prolific history painter, he was also known for his portraits.
Daniele Giovanni Ranzoni was an Italian Impressionist painter of the second half of the 19th century.
Ranzoni very early showed a talent for drawing and, in addition to private lessons, studied at the Brera Academy, the Albertina Academy in Turin and the Giuseppe Bertini School of Nudes. In the mid-19th century, he co-founded the artistic and literary group Scapigliato, considered the first avant-garde in Italian art.
A turning point in Ranzoni's artistic career was his acquaintance with the Princes Trubetskys, at whose villa he settled in 1873. He was engaged in the education of the little princes Pierre, Paolo and Gigi, at the same time creating his works and participating in the social life of his patrons. This period was a very fruitful one for the artist. After a few years, Ranzoni moved to England, where he became the most sought-after portraitist among the English nobility. Daniele Ranzoni made a significant contribution to the development of Lombard painting in the portrait genre.
