Angelo Inganni | Notturno di Piazza del Duomo a Milano, 1865

Nato a Brescia, Angelo Inganni (1807-1880) apprese le basi dell'arte dal padre Giovanni e dal fratello maggiore Francesco, con i quali lavorò fin da giovane alle decorazioni ad affresco.

Distintosi durante il servizio militare come disegnatore e ritrattista, fu notato dal maresciallo Radetzky che lo fece ammettere all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera nel 1833.

L'opera che presentò regolarmente alle esposizioni di Brera dal 1834-1859 costituisce una vasta serie di vedute urbane di Milano che catturano tutti i dettagli della sua architettura e includono somiglianze di persone reali.

Catherine Klein - Vintage Art

Catharina Klein [b. 1861, Eylau, East Prussia - d. 1929, Berlin, Germany] is also known as Catherine Klein. Her name was Anglicized during WWI to avoid any disinclination to buy her work. She is sometimes mistakenly referred to as "Christine". Her signature is "C.Klein" and usually accompanies her work, especially in those postcards and prints closest to the original paintings which were in oil or gouache, an opaque watercolor paint. If her signature is underlined, it’s an indication of an earlier work. She rode the crest of chromolithography at the end of the 19th and into the 20th Century. Catharina Klein was born in 1861 in Eylau in East Prussia (what is now a Russian province called Kallinigrad which is actually separated by the Baltic States from Mainland Russia).

Max Ernst | Terre Écossaise, 1935

"Terre Écossaise" was painted by German painter, sculptor, graphic artist and poet Max Ernst (1891-1976) in 1935.

He had served in an artillery division of the German army during world war one. This experience was deeply traumatic.

Ernst used Freuds dream theories as a way of dealing with his trauma.

This exploration of the unconscious was expressed through his art.
