Portrait of
Lord Holland by François-Xavier Fabre, painted in 1795
François-Xavier Fabre (1 April 1766 – 16
March 1837) was a
French
painter of historical subjects.
Born in
Montpellier, Fabre was a pupil of
Jacques-Louis David, and made his name by winning the
Prix de Rome in 1787. During the
French Revolution, he went to live in
Florence, becoming a member of the Florentine Academy and a
teacher of art. The friends he made in Italy included the dramatist,
Vittorio Alfieri, whose widow,
Princess Louise of Stolberg-Gedern, Countess of Albany, he is said
to have married. On Louise's death in 1824, he inherited her fortune,
which he used to found an art school in his home town. On his own
death, he bequeathed his own art collection to the town, forming the
basis of the
Musée Fabre.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van
Rijn (/ˈrɛmbrænt,
-brɑːnt/;[2]
Dutch: [ˈrɛmbrɑnt
ˈɦɑrmə(n)soːn vɑn ˈrɛin] (
listen); 15 July 1606[1] –
4 October 1669) was a
Dutch painter and
etcher.
He is generally considered one of the greatest painters and
printmakers in
European art and the most important in
Dutch history.[3]
His contributions to art came in a period of great wealth and cultural
achievement that historians call the
Dutch Golden Age when
Dutch Golden Age painting, although in many ways antithetical to
the
Baroque style that dominated Europe, was extremely prolific and
innovative, and gave rise to important new genres in painting.
