Franz Radziwill was a German artist of the twentieth century. He is known as a landscape painter, graphic artist and printmaker associated with the artistic movement of "new materiality".

He used elements of industrial buildings and modern technology, including ships and airplanes, in his landscapes. The results of his work can be categorized as magical realism.
In 1933 Radziwill became professor of painting at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art, but in 1935 the Nazis stripped him of this position, declaring his work degenerate art.

Lisel Oppel, actually Anna Amalie Elisabeth Oppel, was a German painter and ceramist who remains to this day one of the most memorable members of the Worpswede artist colony. From 1917 she studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich with Richard Riemerschmid and Hermann Gröber.
Liesel Oppel painted simple paintings with great joy and colourfulness; mainly portraits, people at work and on holidays, less often pure landscapes. One of Oppel's special pictorial themes was children's pastimes in the countryside, in which she adopted and extended the motifs of the early Worpswede artists. Most of her work was created in the 1950s. She continued her expressive painting style.
Giovanni Battista Piranesi was an 18th-century Italian painter, engraver, architect, and archaeologist who represented Neoclassicism and Romanticism. He was famous for creating a lot of original etchings with images of antique architecture monuments.
Giovanni Piranesi created hundreds of drawings and drafts in which he depicted the reconstructed ruins of ancient Roman buildings. His works are still used as teaching aids in the education of architectural students in many prestigious European universities. Piranesi periodically printed voluminous books with dozens of his own engravings depicting modified ancient architectural masterpieces - "graphic fantasies". His works were in demand among professional architects, who borrowed Piranesi's original ideas for their designs.
The peak of Piranesi's career came in the 1760s when, in recognition of his merits, he became an honorary member of the Guild of St. Luke and received from the Pope the title of Knight of the Golden Spur.
More than 700 of the master's original etchings have survived, printed in scholarly works.
