Jozsef Rippl Ronai | Post-Impressionist painter

Jozsef Rippl-Ronai (1861-1927) was an Hungarian painter, known for working in the Les Nabis style.

He first introduced modern artistic movements in the Hungarian art.

He was born in Kaposvár. After his studies at the High School there, he went to study in Budapest, where he obtained a degree in pharmacology.

In 1884 he traveled to Munich to study painting at the Academy.

Two years later he obtained a grant which enabled him to move to Paris and study with Munkácsy, the most important Hungarian realist painter.

Vincenzo Migliaro | Genre painter

Vincenzo Migliaro (1858-1938) was an Neapolitan painter.

He was born in Salerno. He first studied under Gaetano D'Agostino, but later enrolled at the Royal Institute of Fine Arts of Naples, where he studied under Filippo Palizzi, Domenico Morelli and Stanislao Lista.

In these studies, he was funded by a stipend from the government of Salerno.

Giulio Romano | Mannerist painter

Giulio Romano🎨, original name Giulio Pippi, in full Giulio di Pietro di Filippo de’ Giannuzzi, (born 1492/99, Rome [Italy] - died Nov. 1, 1546, Mantua, Duchy of Mantua), late Renaissance painter🎨 and architect, the principal heir of Raphael🎨, and one of the initiators of the Mannerist style🎨.

Giulio was apprenticed to Raphael🎨 as a child and had become so important in the workshop that by Raphael’s death, in 1520, he was named with G. Penni as one of the master’s chief heirs; he also became his principal artistic executor.

After Raphael’s death, Giulio completed a number of his master’s unfinished works, including the Transfiguration. In his original work from these years, such as the Madonna and Saints (c. 1523) and the Stoning of St. Stephen (1523), Giulio developed a highly personal, anticlassical style of painting.

Rusudan Petviashvili, 1968

Rusudan Petviashvili started to paint when she was one year and ten months old. The first personal exhibition was held when she became 6.

Up to the hundred of her graphic and colour pictures were exhibited: the large-formatted, highly complicated one-touch drawings, mostly.

Scholars, as well as the wide society, were bewildered to see an amazing skill of the child. In the age of 8, Petviashvili held two personal exhibitions in Moscow.

Eugène Delacroix | La Liberté guidant le peuple, 1830

The Paris uprising of July 27, 28, and 29, 1830, known as the Trois Glorieuses ("Three Glorious Days"), was initiated by the liberal republicans for violation of the Constitution by the Second Restoration government.
Charles X, the last Bourbon king of France, was overthrown and replaced by Louis Philippe, Duke of Orléans. Delacroix, who witnessed the uprising, perceived it as a modern subject for a painting; the resulting work reflects the same romantic fervor he had applied to Massacre at Chios, a painting inspired by the Greek war of independence.
