Pieter Bruegel the Younger was a Flemish painter, known for numerous copies after his father Pieter Bruegel the Elder's work as well as his original compositions. The large output of his studio, which produced for the local and export market, contributed to the international spread of his father's imagery.
Traditionally Pieter Bruegel the Younger has been nicknamed "de helse Brueghel" or "Hell Bruegel" because it was believed he was the author of several paintings with fantastic depictions of fire and grotesque imagery.
Hendrick Jansz ter Brugghen was a Dutch painter of genre scenes and religious subjects. He was one of the Dutch followers of Caravaggio – the so-called Utrecht Caravaggisti. Along with Gerrit van Hondhorst and Dirck van Baburen, Ter Brugghen was one of the most important Dutch painters to have been influenced by Caravaggio.
Ter Brugghen's favourite subjects were half-length figures of drinkers or musicians, but he also produced larger-scale religious images and group portraits. He carried with him Caravaggio's influence, and his paintings have a strong dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as emotionally charged subjects. His treatment of religious subjects can be seen reflected in the work of Rembrandt, and elements of his style can also be found in the paintings of Frans Hals and Johannes Vermeer. Peter Paul Rubens described ter Brugghen's work as "...above that of all the other Utrecht artists".
Eduard von Grützner was a German painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He went down in the history of European art as a portrait painter and a brilliant master of genre.
Eduard von Grützner in most of his paintings depicted the life of monks, who usually appear to the audience in the images of merry rioters, leading a not ideal lifestyle. The public liked the original humorous style of the painter, and Grützner's work had many admirers.
Grützner was awarded the Royal Order of St. Michael and also received the title of honorary professor at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. He also became a Knight of the Order of Civil Merit of the Bavarian Crown and received the title of nobleman, with the prefix "von" added to his last name.
Von Grützner is also known as a collector of art and antiques. For many years he collected masterpieces of the Gothic and Renaissance masters, and towards the end of his life he became interested in Far Eastern art.
Jan Sieberechts was a Flemish landscape painter who after a successful career in Antwerp, emigrated in the latter part of his life to England. In his early works, he developed a personal style of landscape painting, with an emphasis on the Flemish countryside and country life. His later landscapes painted in England retained their Flemish character by representing a universal theme. Siberechts also painted hunting scenes for his English patrons. The topographical views he created in England stand at the beginning of the English landscape tradition.

Theo van Doesburg, real name Christian Emil Marie Küpper, is a Dutch painter, architect and sculptor, art theorist, co-founder of the Style Group and of Neoplasticism.
Theo van Doesburg co-founded with Piet Mondrian the De Stijl abstract art movement. The basis of van Doesburg's views was the attempt to reduce all forms of objective harmony in a work of art to certain geometric elements. These new principles soon had a significant influence on the development of architecture, literature, graphics and music.
Herri met de Bles is a Flemish artist, along with Joachim Patinir, one of the founders of European landscape painting. He painted mainly landscapes with multi-figured compositions. Like Patinir, his style is characterized by stylized images of rocks and a careful rendering of aerial perspective.
