Albert Joseph Moore | Academic painter

Albert Joseph Moore (1841-1893), known for his depictions of langorous female figures set against the luxury and decadence of the classical world, was the youngest of the fourteen children of the artist William Moore of York who in the first half of the 19th century enjoyed a considerable reputation in the North of England as a painter of portraits and landscape.

Albert Bierstadt | Hudson River School

German-born American painter Albert Bierstadt (1830-1902), recognized as the foremost painter of the american frontier during the nineteenth-century, was born in Solingen, Germany, in 1830.

At the age of two, he and his family emigrated to the United States, settling in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Edgar Degas | The Ballet dancers

Among the supreme masterpieces of the century are Degas's pictures of the ballet and its dancers.

The impulse towards painting the contemporary scene came to him not only from Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) and Manet (1832-1883) but from his friend, the critic Duranty, the exponent of the aesthetics of naturalism.

Yet in the particular direction of his tastes and his conception of design he was entirely individual.

To study and convey movement was a chosen task, first undertaken on the race course and then in his many pictures of the Opera, viewed from behind the scenes, in the wings, or from the orchestra stalls during a performance.

Carsten Witte, 1964 | Fashion photographer

The Hamburg native has an extensive portfolio ranging from fashion, beauty, advertising and art.

He specializes in black and white photography and believes that all his photo's hold a story.

Carsten's unusual eye evokes that dynamic shot that is intriguing, even eerie in some of his work, yet his photos always seem to brilliantly capture the essence of beauty.

Anna Bocek 1973

Anna Bocek, born 1973. Study at Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Poland, Faculty of Painting Set Design. Diploma in 1999. Undoubtedly, such mainspring of art for me is theatre - the most important source of inspiration and spiritual experiences both, as a viewer and an artist. Both aspects are equally important for me anyway.

Josephine Wall, 1947 | Fantasy painter

From childhood Josephine has had a passion for light and colour, fantasy and visual storytelling. The life of a painter was clearly her destiny! Enchanting and detailed images flow freely from her imagination in an endless cascade of ideas.
Her first employment after leaving Art College was at Poole Pottery, where she painted the dynamic and boldly coloured designs of the now famous Delphis ware - very collectable and realising high prices at specialist auctions. In addition to her main love of painting, she directs her creative energies into pottery figures, sculpture and reproduction stained glass panels.
She has even customised items of clothing.

Juan Gris | Cubist painter

Juan Gris, original name José Victoriano González (1887-1927), Spanish painter whose lucidly composed still lifes are major works of the style called Synthetic Cubism.

Gris studied engineering at the Madrid School of Arts and Manufactures from 1902-1904, but he soon began making drawings for newspapers in the sensuously curvilinear Art Nouveau style.

He moved to Paris in 1906 and settled at the Bateau-Lavoir, an artists’ dwelling where his compatriot Pablo Picasso lived. Gris was thus in touch with the evolution of Cubism, a style initiated by Picasso and Georges Braque around 1907.

Ancient Greek sculpture

The origins of greek sculpture have been ascribed the wooden cult statues that were described by Pausanias as xoana.

No such statue survives, and the descriptions of them are vague despite the fact that some were objects of veneration for hundreds of years.

The first piece of Greek statuary to be reassembled since is probably the Lefkandi Centaur (Eretria Mus.) found on Euboia.
