Étienne Dumonstier
Étienne Dumonstier, also Nicholas Denizot, (1540–1603) was a French Renaissance portrait painter. Not much is known about Dumonstier's life except through his works. He primarily painted portraits for the French Royal family. His style indicates that he was part of the workshop of François Clouet, which also included François Quesnel. He was patronized by Catherine de' Medici, and may have been close to her, since he was requested to carry out a diplomatic mission for her to Vienna around 1570. Dumonstier also painted for Henry II of France, other members of the House of Valois, and Henry IV of France. Only a few works have been attributed to him, but definitive attributions have been difficult due to the similarities between the artists of Clouet's workshop. One painting executed by Dumonstier ''A Lady in White'' is part of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty collection.

Louis Dimier
Louis Dimier (11 February 1865 – 21 November 1943) was a French art historian and royalist. Dimier was among the many early members of the Action Française who were practising Catholics (along with Bernard de Vésins and Léon de Montesquiou). They helped Charles Maurras (1868–1952) develop the royalist league's pro-Catholic policies. In 1915, during the First World War, Dimier published ''Les troncons du serpent: idée d'une dislocation de l'empire allemnd at d'une reconstitution des Allemagnes'' in which he advocated partitioning Germany into around 100 free cities and allocating German lands to Poland and Sweden, with the Rhineland and the Ruhr being a workers' state entrusted to trade unions A trade union (labor union in American English), often simply referred to as a union, is an organization of workers intent on "maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment", ch.

Artemisia Gentileschi
Artemisia Lomi or Artemisia Gentileschi (, ; 8 July 1593) was an Italian Baroque painter. Gentileschi is considered among the most accomplished seventeenth-century artists, initially working in the style of Caravaggio. She was producing professional work by the age of 15. In an era when women had few opportunities to pursue artistic training or work as professional artists, Gentileschi was the first woman to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence and she had an international clientele. Many of Gentileschi's paintings feature women from myths, allegories, and the Bible, including victims, suicides, and warriors. Some of her best known subjects are ''Susanna and the Elders'' (particularly the 1610 version in Pommersfelden), ''Judith Slaying Holofernes'' (her 1614–1620 version is in the Uffizi gallery), and '' Judith and Her Maidservant'' (her version of 1625 is in the Detroit Institute of Arts). Gentileschi was known for being able to depict the f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
