Rubens Santoro | Genre / Marine scenes painter

Rubens Santoro🎨 (1859-1941) was an Neapolitan painter of genre and marine scenes, particularly well-known today for his views of Venice.

He was born in Mongrassano and studied under Giovanni Battista at the Naples Academy.

He then won numerous prices🎨, like a silver medal in Barcelona during the Universal Exhibition in 1911.

He also received two gold medals🎨 in 1891 and 1892. The two paintings exhibited there were acquired by the King of Italy Umberto I.

Gustave Loiseau | Scenes of Paris streets

Loiseau was born in Paris on 3 October 1865 into an affluent commercial family.

He was largely self-taught and during his youth he worked with a decorator, painting the outskirts of Paris in his free time.

An inheritance from his grandmother provided him with a certain degree of financial comfort and independence that allowed him to concentrate fully on paining and to move to Montmartre.

Here he met Maxime Maufra, with whom he remained friends for the rest of his life.

He enrolled at the École des Arts Décoratifs for a year, the only training in colour and drawing which he received.

Vladimir Volegov, 1957 | Romantic painter

Russian painter Владимир Волегов is famous for his figurative paintings with his dramatic use of color and texture he creates a portrait-like treatment of the female form, captured in a frozen, yet living moment, with the surrounding bursts of color and scenery.

Born in Khabarovsk, Russia, Volegov began painting at the age of three and his talent would be noted repeatedly throughout his adolescence.

After having attended the art school, "Krivoj rog" and having served in the army, Volegov was admitted to the lvov polygraphic institute in the former soviet union.

Henry Moret (1856-1913) | Impressionist painter

Henry Moret🎨 was a Normandy-born artist with a Breton soul devoted most of his work to Brittany, whose ever-wild landscapes and stormy seas still attract numerous artists seeking fresh inspiration.

He exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d’Automne.

Moret’s Breton landscapes of the early 1890s have often been mistaken for those of Gauguin🎨.
