Vincent Willem Van Gogh (1853-1890) Van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterized by bold colors and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art.  The name of this work is Quinces, lemons, pears and grapes.

Osias Beert The Elder (c. 1580 – 1623/24) Osias Beert was a Flemish painter active in Antwerp who played an important role in the early development of flower and “breakfast”-type still life paintings as an independent genre in Northern European art.  This piece was called Dishes With Oysters, Fruit, And Wine.

Salvador Dali (1904-1989) Mr. Dali was hedonistic, full of passion and definitely prone to having a surrealistic view of the world.  His passion always existed in every distorted form on canvas.

Paul Cézanne (1839 – 1906) Cézanne was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th-century conception of artistic endeavor to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne’s often repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of color and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cézanne’s intense study of his subjects.  Cézanne is said to have formed the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and the early 20th century’s new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism.  The name of this piece is Basket of Apples.

Henri-Émile-Benoît Matisse (1869 – 1954) Henri Matisse was a French artist, known for both his use of color and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter.  Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture.  The name of this work is Fruit and Coffeepot (1898).

Willem Claeszoon Heda (1593 – 1682) Willem Heda was a Dutch Golden Age artist from the city of Haarlem devoted exclusively to the painting of still lifes. He is known for his innovation of the late breakfast genre of still life painting. Following his formative pieces of the 1620s, Heda reached his artistic maturity in the 1630s with pieces such as his 1631 still-life and those of the ‘1639 group’ sold to Vienna in the 1930s. These pieces contain perfectly draped fabric and assortments of fine glass and metal wares in addition to orderly-presented foodstuffs. This set of paintings is characterized by a sublime simplicity and order that few artists of his genre ever obtained. His coloration and illustration of light in the pieces, combined with fine additive brush strokes, results in an almost unbelievable level of realism.  The name of this work is Still Life with a Gilt Cup.

Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, aka Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973), Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France. Regarded as one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. The name of this work is Still Life with Compote and Glass.
