Dmitry Mikhailovich Krasnopevtsev (Russian: Дмитрий Михайлович Краснопевцев) was a Soviet and Russian artist of the second half of the twentieth century. He is known as a painter and graphic artist, a representative of "unofficial art" and the so-called Second Russian avant-garde.
Dmitry Krasnopevtsev chose as his main genre "metaphysical still lifes" approaching surrealism, often depicting ceramics, dried plants and shells in melancholy colors. These works developed Baroque motifs of the frailty and unreality of the world. Although for a long time his works were little exhibited in his homeland, they found admirers in other countries such as Austria, Germany, France, Japan, and the United States.

Jan van Hemessen was a leading Flemish Renaissance painter, belonging to the group of Italianizing Flemish painters called the Romanists, who were influenced by Italian Renaissance painting. Van Hemessen had visited Italy during the 1520s, and also Fontainebleau near Paris in the mid 1530s, where he was able to view the work of the colony of Italian artists known as the First School of Fontainebleau, who were working on the decorations for the Palace of Fontainebleau. Van Hemessen's works show his ability to interpret the Italian models into a new Flemish visual vocabulary.
