Sandro Botticelli
Italian, 1444–1510 — Early Renaissance
Botticelli grew up in Florence during the
Medici rule. His work is remarkable for its
three-dimensional perspective, prefiguring the
work of painters such as Leonardo and
Michelangelo.
Gustave Caillebotte
French, 1848–1894 — Impressionism
Caillebotte was an engineer and generous
patron of the Impressionists. His own oeuvre,
roughly 500 pieces painted in a more realistic
style than that of his Impressionist friends, was
largely overlooked until recently.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder
Flemish, c.1525 –1569 — Northern Renaissance
Although well known in his own lifetime,
Pieter Bruegel the Elder refused to adopt the
idealized style of portraiture developed during
the Italian Renaissance — an insistence that
incurred the scorn of higher art circles
throughout his career and after his death. Only
in the twentieth century was he rediscovered
as one of the masters.
Paul Cézanne
French, 1839–1906 — Post-Impressionism
Cézanne pioneered a unique style, using flat
brush strokes and a bold color palette that
prefigured Cubism and other modern art
movements. In his own words, it would turn
Impressionism “into something more solid
and enduring, like the art of museums.”
Pieter Bruegel II (the Younger)
Flemish, c.1564–1638 — Northern Renaissance
Pieter Bruegel, son of Pieter Bruegel the elder
and brother of Jan Bruegel the Elder, painted
the ordinary lives of villagers in scenes of large
scope and great detail.
Jan Bruegel the Elder
Flemish, 1568–1625 — Northern Renaissance
The second son of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jan
Bruegel carried on a family tradition of
painting village life. His son Jan Bruegel the
Younger established the third generation of
accomplished painters from the family.
Joannes Busschaert
Flemish, c.1610–? — Northern Renaissance
Little is known of Busschaert aside from the
fact that he was born in Flanders in 1610. Even
the date of his death is lost to history.
Leonardo da Vinci
Italian; 1452–1519 — High Renaissance
A consummate master in many fields —
painting, drawing, scientific discovery and
invention — Leonardo brought an
unprecedented level of realism to art,
especially in his depictions of the human
body. His Mona Lisa, which attracts millions of
visitors each year to the Louvre in Paris,
became a worldwide sensation when it was
stolen in 1911 — by a thief who simply took it
off the wall and walked out with it in broad
daylight. Mona Lisa was found two years later,
in the thief’s apartment just blocks from the
Louvre.
Jacques-Louis David
French, 1748–1825 — Neoclassicism
First painter to Napoleon, David was interested
in historical subject matter as well as key
contemporary figures. His work, much of
which was completed during the French
Revolution, conveyed strongly nationalistic
themes such as virtue and patriotism.
Edgar Degas
French, 1834–1917 — Impressionism
Degas’s fluid style of painting was ideal for
capturing the grace, beauty and drama of the
ballet. He rejected pure Impressionism,
carefully staging his subjects and focusing on
human movement rather than the effects of
light and color. Of his work he said, “No art is
less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the
result of reflection and study of the great
masters; of inspiration, spontaneity,
temperament, I know nothing.”
Eugène Delacroix
French, 1798–1863 — Romanticism
Delacroix’s Orientalism incorporated vivid
colors and a realistic style to depict exotic
people and settings. Liberty suggests a feeling
of solidarity with the spirit of the July
Revolution and the French Revolution in 1789.
His work defies classification: although his
style is warm and sensual, calling to mind
earlier masters, the subject matter is more
typical of modern art.
Paul Gauguin
French, 1848–1903 — Post-Impressionism
Though influenced by his friends,
Impressionists such as Pissarro, Gauguin used
flat, vivid areas of color rather than small brush
strokes to infuse his work with a heightened
reality. In 1891 he moved to Tahiti, where he
painted his most significant works. These met
with a lukewarm reception in France, after
which Gauguin had difficulty supporting
himself as a painter. He died penniless in
Marquesas in 1903.
Winslow Homer
American, 1836–1910 — Realism
Homer captured intense emotion in his
paintings with a more personal, modern
approach to his subjects than other painters
of the time. Asked to briefly describe one of
his works, he said, "I regret very much that I
have painted a picture that requires any
description."
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
French, 1780–1867 — Neoclassicism
Ingres learned to draw from his father, himself
a sculptor, painter and interior designer. He
painted members of the upper class with
photographic realism and a strong attention
to detail. His ability to capture the
psychological aspects of his subjects was
unusual for a painter of his era.
Gustav Klimt
Austrian, 1862–1918 — Art Nouveau
The son of a poor Bohemian gold engraver,
Klimt was recognized as a gifted artist at the
tender age of 14. Klimt used strong symbolism
inspired by Greek and Byzantine art. Many of
his works include gold embellishments
reminiscent of his father’s work as an engraver.
Edouard Manet
French, 1832–1883 — Realism/Impressionism
Manet’s female nudes, with their frank,
confrontational stares, scandalized French
society at a time when only idealized nudes
were considered respectable. Although his
paintings drew heavily from classic works, he
made no effort to reveal these references. It is
unlikely that contemporary viewers knew that
his Luncheon on the Grass was based on the
work of Raphael and Titian — most
considered Manet to be incompetent, and his
paintings, indecent.
Michelangelo Buonarroti
Italian, 1475–1564 — High Renaissance
Michelangelo is known for his mastery of
perspective and proportion in Renaissance
Italy, and few artists have succeeded in
creating lasting works in so many various
media. New to his Tuscan contemporaries, his
style derived from the patronage of Italian
nobles such as Lorenzo de’ Medici, from whom
he received a classical humanist education.
Michelangelo’s most famous works include
The Creation of Adam, a detail from his ceiling
frescoes for the Sistine Chapel, and his iconic
David in Florence. He also played a major role
in the design and construction of St. Peter's
Basilica.
Amedeo Modigliani
Italian, 1884–1920 — Expressionism
Modigliani came from a bourgeois Italian
Jewish family. He studied art with an Italian
Impressionist, then moved to Paris in 1906,
when the city was enthralled by avant-garde
art. Modigliani’s first solo exhibition in 1917
caused a scandal—officials closed it because
of the painter’s provocative nude subjects. He
is known for capturing precise human
expressions using only the most essential
lines, such as the drawn-out face typical of
many of his portraits.
Claude Monet
French, 1840–1926 — Impressionism
At the turn of the twentieth century, Monet led
the trend from figuration to abstraction. He
studied the effect of light and color abstracted
from form in his garden at Giverny, built
expressly for that purpose. His renowned
series of water lilies represent the apotheosis
of his signature style of loosely defined color
swatches.
Pablo Picasso
Spanish, 1881–1973 — Cubism
Pablo Picasso once said, “We all know that Art
is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the
truth, at least the truth that is given to us to
understand.” His cubist style of painting
surpassed the limitations of realism, inviting
the viewer to see a subject from multiple
perspectives simultaneously.
Raffaelo Sanzio (Raphael)
Italian, 1483–1520 — High Renaissance
Raphael’s artistic education in Florence under
da Vinci and Michelangelo, combined with his
immense talent, enabled him to create one the
greatest images in the history of Western art.
The School of Athens is a tribute to the heroic
role of the philosopher in society, as well as the
rediscovery of Classical thought. The
philosophers depicted include Plato
(portrayed by Leonardo) and Aristotle in the
center, as well as (from left to right) Zeno,
Epicurus, Averroes, Pythagoras, Alcibiades,
Xenophon, Aeschines, Parmenides, Socrates,
Heraclitus (Michelangelo), Diogenes, Euclid
(Donato Bramante), Zoroaster and Ptolemy.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn
Dutch, 1606–1669 — Baroque
Rembrandt’s paintings and engravings were
popular during his lifetime and have inspired
awe and wonder in viewers over the ages.
Using color and light to create a sharp yet
opaque effect, he invoked curiosity about the
human condition through his intriguing,
intimate portraits.
Pierre Auguste Renoir
French, 1841–1919 — Impressionism
Renoir and fellow painter Claude Monet
worked together in 1869 to produce the first
true Impressionist paintings on the river Seine
at La Grenouillère, using clear, contrasting
colors to capture the effects of natural light,
and broken brush strokes to suggest texture.
Having grown up in poverty, he aspired
unapologetically to financial success. He
reputedly said to his art dealer, “I want to paint
stunning pictures that you can sell for very
high prices."
Peter Paul Rubens
Flemish, 1577–1640 — Baroque
The combination of a first-rate Classical
education with an innate visual genius made
Rubens the pre-eminent painter of Catholic
Europe during the first part of the 17th
Century. He opened the largest art workshop
Europe has ever seen and launched a highly
successful art business. Eventually, he became
a personal adviser to royalty and even a
politician who was sent to negotiate peace
treaties.
Georges Pierre Seurat
French, 1859–1891 — Pointillism
Seurat stood apart from his Impressionist
contemporaries in his effort to separate colors
as components of sources of light, thereby
taking a more scientific approach to painting.
Applying paint only with the tip of his brush,
he juxtaposed dots of color to form a coherent
whole— a method inspired by a knowledge of
textile making.
John Singer Sargent
American, 1856–1925
Sargent combined the influences of the Old
Masters, Realism, Impressionism, and
Symbolism to create a style all his own. His
controversial portraits of Madame Gautreau
point out the flaws of vanity — the subject’s
stark white skin contrasts sharply with the
dark background, implying that she wears a
mask in her public life. These works were
criticized for their blatant self-display when
first exhibited.
David Teniers II
Flemish, 1610–1690 — Baroque
Teniers worked for the Governors of the
Netherlands as court painter and curator of
their art collections. Part of his job was to
make paintings of the Governors’ picture
galleries, which included paintings by such
artists as Titian, Raphael, Palma, Ribera,
Giorgione, Van Dyck, and Gossart. In The
Archduke Leopold Wilhelm, the nobleman is
accompanied by the Count of Fuensaldana
and Teniers himself.
Vincent van Gogh
Dutch, 1853–1890 — Post-Impressionism
Famous for depicting ordinary, humble natural
things with a passionate energy, van Gogh
expanded the limits of artistic expression. His
wheat fields, flowers and open skies were
chosen for their natural beauty and symbolic
significance. By the time of his suicide at the
age of 37, van Gogh had only sold a few
paintings, though he’d painted hundreds.
Today his art and life are legendary, and art
lovers worldwide pay millions for his works.
Tiziano Vecellio (Titian)
Italian, 1488–1576 — High Renaissance
Titian’s work was renowned across Europe
during his lifetime. His bold use of color and
light stood out from other Renaissance
painters, who began with form. Breaking from
this tradition, Titan experimented with
layering colors on canvas. His understanding
of light and the way the human mind retains
visual memories makes his work unique.
Jan Vermeer
Dutch, 1632–1675 — Baroque
Called a radical and a prophet by critics of his
time, Vermeer is known for his photographic,
personal portrayal of his solitary, serene figures
caught in acts of private contemplation.The
Girl With a Pearl Earring suggests a direct
connection with the subject through her
evocative gaze, at once surprising in its
frankness and metaphysically radiant.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
French, 1864–1901 — Post-Impressionism
Born in 1864 to a declining noble family and
disabled by a bone disease, Toulouse-Lautrec
was an outcast who found a place in Paris
nightclubs like the infamous Moulin Rouge. He
depicts the illicit sexual energy of the
demimonde through bodies abstracted to
curves and blocks of color, forms
superimposed on their surroundings.
John William Waterhouse
English, 1849–1917 — Pre-Raphaelite
Born in Italy, Waterhouse was educated in
Britain on a curriculum dominated by Latin
literature and its character-building examples
of the heroes of Antiquity. The symbolism of
his visual motifs — birds, animals and
mythological characters — was familiar to and
readily understood by his nineteenth-century
audience. Many of his classical-subject
paintings, particularly those of women, were
used as tools of social instruction.
Anthonie van Dyck
Flemish, 1559–1641 — Baroque
A student of Rubens known for his portraits of
European aristocracy and classical figures, van
Dyck is adept at probing the human soul and
depicting subtleties of emotion in an
understated yet polished way.
