Ignacio Zuloaga y Zabaleta (Eibar, July 26, 1870 – Madrid, October 31, 1945) was a Basque Spanish painter, born near the monastery of Loyola. He was the son of metalworker and damascener Plácido Zuloaga and grandson of the organizer and director of the royal armoury in Madrid.

Inspired by a visit to the Andalusia region of Spain in 1892, Zuloaga began to focus on subject matter from Spanish culture and folklore, such as bullfighters, peasants, and dancers. He used earthen colours almost exclusively and often placed his figures against dramatic landscapes. Zuloaga began to achieve international success with the painting Daniel Zuloaga and His Daughters, which was exhibited in 1899 and purchased by the French government for the Luxembourg Museum in Paris. About 1907 he became a popular society portraitist, an aspect of his career that brought him considerable wealth.

Francois Gall, Hungarian by birth, became an impressionist painter in the pure French tradition after he moved to Paris in 1936. He was born in Kolozsvar in the former region of Transylvania on March 22, 1912. He began studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Rome while working in menial jobs to secure a living. Support came in 1939 when the Hungarian government awarded Gall with a scholarship.

Francois Gall greatly admired the first generation impressionist and adopted their concepts for his own interpretations. Parisian scenes and portrayals of women engaged in typically feminine activities were among his preferred subjects. Francois Gall is a modern impressionist, bringing to this most enduring style, his own unique personality. He died in 1987.

Gerrit Adriaenszoon Berckheyde (Haarlem, 1638 - Haarlem, 1698) was a Dutch artist of the 17th century, active in Haarlem, Amsterdam, and The Hague and best known for his cityscapes.

Christened as an infant in June 1638, he was the younger brother and student of Job Adiaenszoon Berckheyde, as well as studying under Frans Hals. During the 1650s the two brothers made an extended trip along the Rhine to Germany, stopping off at Cologne, Bonn, Mannheim and finally Hiedelberg. The brothers were ultimately unable to adapt to court life and so returned to Haarlem, where they shared a house and studio.
