Anton Čebej
Anton Cebej, or Zebey (23 May 1722, Ajdovščina – after 1774) was a Slovenian painter, in the Baroque style. Biography Very little is known about his life. The information that is available is derived entirely from a history of his works, the first of which appeared in 1750, and the last in 1774. He lived in Ljubljana for the bulk of his career, but he was apparently not part of the artistic community there. His paintings show an obvious Venetian influence, but certain stylistic elements suggest that he had contact with and may have taken lessons from Giulio Quaglio and Valentin Metzinger, the latter of whom was particularly influential. After Metzinger's death in 1759, Cebej also took on some of his clients. In the 1760s, he reached what is generally considered to be his artistic peak. By the 1770s, his paintings had become simpler, with fewer figures and less dramatic feeling. His frescoes underwent a similar change. He was the only artist there at the time who was prof ...

Johann Heinrich Tischbein
Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder, known as the Kasseler Tischbein, (3 October 1722, Haina – 22 August 1789, Kassel) was one of the most respected European painters in the 18th century and an important member of the Tischbein family of German painters, which spanned three generations. His work consisted primarily of portraits of the nobility, mythological scenes, and historical paintings. For his mythology paintings his models were mostly members of the upper nobility.

Royal Academy
The Royal Academy of Arts (RA) is an art institution based in Burlington House on Piccadilly in London. Founded in 1768, it has a unique position as an independent, privately funded institution led by eminent artists and architects. Its purpose is to promote the creation, enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions, education and debate. History The origin of the Royal Academy of Arts lies in an attempt in 1755 by members of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, principally the sculptor Henry Cheere, to found an autonomous academy of arts. Prior to this a number of artists were members of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, including Cheere and William Hogarth, or were involved in small-scale private art academies, such as the St Martin's Lane Academy. Although Cheere's attempt failed, the eventual charter, called an 'Instrument', used to establish the Royal Academy of Arts over a decad ...
