Sandro Botticelli Italian, 1444–1510 — Early RenaissanceBotticelli 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.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder Flemish, c.1525 –1569 — Northern RenaissanceAlthough 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.

Pieter Bruegel II (the Younger) Flemish, c.1564–1638 — Northern RenaissancePieter 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 RenaissanceThe 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.

Gustave Caillebotte French, 1848–1894 — ImpressionismCaillebotte 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.

Paul CézanneFrench, 1839–1906 — Post-ImpressionismCézanne 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.”

Leonardo da Vinci Italian; 1452–1519 — High RenaissanceA 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 — NeoclassicismFirst 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 — ImpressionismDegas’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 — RomanticismDelacroix’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-ImpressionismThough 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 — RealismHomer 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 — NeoclassicismIngres 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 NouveauThe 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/ImpressionismManet’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 RenaissanceMichelangelo 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 — ExpressionismModigliani 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 — ImpressionismAt 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 — CubismPablo 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 RenaissanceRaphael’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 — BaroqueRembrandt’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 — ImpressionismRenoir 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 — BaroqueThe 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 — PointillismSeurat 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, 1856–1925Sargent 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 — BaroqueTeniers 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.

Tiziano Vecellio (Titian) Italian, 1488–1576 — High RenaissanceTitian’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.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec French, 1864–1901 — Post-ImpressionismBorn 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.

Anthonie van Dyck Flemish, 1559–1641 — BaroqueA 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.

Vincent van Gogh Dutch, 1853–1890 — Post-ImpressionismFamous 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.

Jan Vermeer Dutch, 1632–1675 — BaroqueCalled 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.

John William Waterhouse English, 1849–1917 — Pre-RaphaeliteBorn 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.
