Stanisław Chlebowski was a Polish orientalist painter.
His travels in the Middle East and North Africa, where he lived and worked for many years, had a great influence on Chlebowski's work. His paintings often feature scenes of daily life in these regions, including depictions of markets, street scenes, and traditional clothing.
Today, Chlebowski's paintings can be found in many public and private collections, including the National Museum in Warsaw and the National Museum in Krakow.
Karl Friedrich Lessing was a German painter of the mid-nineteenth century. He is known as a Romantic painter, a representative of the Düsseldorf School of painting.
Lessing began his career with melancholic-romantic landscapes and paintings on literary subjects. He later gained popularity as a landscape painter. Reproductions of his works were widely printed in German magazines of the XIX century. Later Lessing switched to historical subjects, creating historical paintings, as well as frescoes.
Lessing was a member of various art societies and academies, both German and foreign.
Michael Leopold Lukas Willmann was a German painter of the second half of the 17th and early 18th centuries. He is considered the outstanding painter of Silesia of the Baroque period, and has been called the "Silesian Rembrandt" or "Silesian Raphael".
Willmann became known for his technical mastery as well as the speed with which he executed commissions. During his lifetime he created about 500 paintings and frescoes, of which about 300 have survived to this day. He used a special technique of painting the background and correcting details, which was also used by his pupils. Biblical subjects were at the center of Willmann's work, and his frescoes adorn churches and monasteries in Silesia to this day.
