Karel Dujardin was a Dutch painter and printmaker of the Golden Age of Dutch painting.
He studied with Klaas Berchem and Paulus Potter, traveled to Italy, and lived in Lyon. In 1656 he participated in the founding of the Pictura Society in The Hague.
Dujardin painted mostly Italian landscapes, genre scenes, including scenes from rural life, portraits of elegant people and historical paintings.
Many of Dujardin's works are in the Louvre, the Hermitage (St. Petersburg), as well as in Amsterdam, The Hague, Kassel, and Berlin.
Gerardus Mercator, birth name Gheert Cremer was a Flemish geographer and cartographer, best known for the map projection that bears his name.
Gerardus Mercator was the first to use this equiangular cylindrical projection for drawing a navigational chart of the world on 18 sheets (1569). The Mercator projection is remarkable in that it does not distort angles and shapes and only keeps distances at the equator. It is currently used for nautical navigational and aeronautical charts. Although modern historical cartographic research has established that this projection was used as early as 1511, it is only by Mercator that it has become widely used.
Wolfram Beck was a German sculptor, draughtsman, and painter who worked with wood, steel, bronze, acrylic, and stone. He was trained at the Higher School of Artistic Culture in Berlin, and his work initially included large organic wooden works, portrait busts, and torsos in clay and stone. In the 1970s, Beck created strictly geometric and airy-filigree constructions from mechanical and electronic components that could be moved by actuators or by hand. He also created colorfully accented and fragile looking objects in metal and acrylic. Beck's work can be found in the collections of Axel Springer, Egon Eiermann, and others.
Théophile Alexandre Steinlen was a French painter, graphic artist, etcher, and illustrator of Swiss origin who worked in the Realist and Art Nouveau styles.
