Carl Holsøe | Copenhagen Interior School

Danish painter Carl Vilhelm Holsoe (1863-1935), a leading member of the Danish school of painting in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, was highly regarded by colleagues and collectors alike.

Holsoe trained at the Royal Academy of Copenhagen with Vilhelm Hammershoi, a very close friend and mentor, from 1882-1884.

Holsoe continued his instruction at the Peder Severin Kroyer's Artists' Study School.

Victor Crisostomo Gomez, 1941 | Indians Native Art

Completely self-taught, Peruvian painter Victor Crisostomo Gomez’s approach to art is to portray emotion through intense color and to render the men, women and children in his portraits with a soft, almost dream-like quality.

The result is that each painting becomes a beautiful exploration into symbolism, cultural heritage and identity, drawing on a sense of harmony that he tries to instill in each canvas.

Victor’s work has been likened to a treasure chest full of mysteries and surprises.

Henri Lehmann | Neoclassical painter

Henri Lehmann (14 April 1814 - 30 March 1882) was a German🎨-born French🎨 historical painter and portraitist.

Born Heinrich Salem Lehmann in Kiel, in the Duchy of Holstein, he received his first art tuition from his father Leo Lehmann (1782-1859) and from other painters in Hamburg.

In 1831, at the age of 17, he travelled to Paris to study art under Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres🎨, becoming one of his most accomplished pupils and a close associate for many years.

Botticelli, the painter of the Medici

Botticelli became associated by historians with the Florentine School under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, a movement historians would later characterize as a "golden age".

The Medici family were effective rulers of Florence, which was nominally a republic, throughout Botticelli's lifetime up to 1494, when the main branch were expelled.

Lorenzo il Magnifico became the head of the family in 1469, just around the time Botticelli started his own workshop.

He was a great patron of both the visual and literary arts, and encouraged and financed the humanist and Neoplatonist circle from which much of the character of Botticelli's mythological painting seems to come.

Théo van Rysselberghe (Belgian, 1862-1926)

Théo Van Rysselberghe, in full Théophile Van Rysselberghe, (born Nov. 23, 1862, Ghent, Belg. - died Dec. 13, 1926, Saint-Clair, Manche, France), Belgian painter, sculptor, and designer who, together with Henry van de Velde, headed the large rank of Belgian artists that adhered to Neo-Impressionism.

Van Rysselberghe studied in Ghent and Brussels, and he was among the founders of both the Twenty (Les XX) and the Free Aesthetics (La Libre Esthétique), the two major associations of Belgian artists at the turn of the 20th century.

He was influenced by the work of Georges Seurat - particularly his Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte (1884–86), which he saw in 1886.

Moïse Kisling | Post-Impressionist / Modern painter

Moïse Kisling (January 22, 1891 - April 29, 1953) was a Polish🎨-born French painter🎨, best known for his highly stylized, unsettling portraits, still lifes ecc.

Born in Kraków, Austria-Hungary, he studied at the School of Fine Arts in Kraków.

Renoir | Jeune paysanne mangeant une pomme

Renoir and Berthe Morisot became close friends in 1885 - when both artists were forty-four years old - and continued to be until Morisot's death a decade later.

Morisot invited Renoir to her weekly dinner parties and during this period he frequently visited Morisot at her summer home in Mézy.

While their subjects and ultimately their styles differ, the similarity of palette and brushwork in each artist's work of the mid-1880s to the mid-1890s is notable.
