Joseph Nash the Elder was a British watercolor painter and lithographer.
Nash was a member of the Society of Watercolor Painters and exhibited there extensively with his paintings. He specialized in historic buildings and palaces and produced several lithographed albums, the most important of which was the monumental work The Mansions of England in Old Times (1839-49). This four-volume book was very popular with his contemporaries; lithographs from it were printed in newspapers, all of which encouraged the public to visit museums and historical sites more.
In 1846 Joseph Nash lithographed David Wilkie's Oriental Sketches, and in 1848 a series of views of Windsor Castle based on his own drawings.
His only son, Joseph Nash, Jr. was a marine painter and a member of the Royal Institute of Watercolor Painters.

Johann Jakob Frey travelled extensively in Italy, especially in and around Rome, making landscape sketches. In his studio he used these sketches to create paintings. He also traveled to Spain and Egypt to sketch for later works.
Frey's pictorial style is based on paintings by Josef Koch or Franz Horny. For example, they often feature a richly detailed foreground, which often shows elements such as winding paths or rivers drawing the viewer's attention away.
