Frank Dicksee (Francis Bernard Dicksee) (1853–1928, Engand)
Medievalist paintings
Frank Dicksee was a prominent EnglishVictorian painterandillustrator. The son of Thomas Francis Dicksee, a noted painter of Shakespearean characters, he is best known for his pictures of dramatic literary, historical, and legendary scenes. He also was a noted painter of portraits of fashionable women, which helped to bring him success in his own time.
His style was not fully within other popular modes of the time, such as Pre-RaphaelismorNeoclassicism, and can be seen as a fusion of various methods and aesthetics of his time, including later in life utilising post-Romantic techniques such as lighter brushwork and softer shades.

Figures and scenes
Keller was a Germanhistoricalandgenre painter, popular in his time as a societyportraitist. Over his fairly long life, unlike a lot of artists who found their style at odds with modernistic trends, he appears to have adapted quite easily to the altering artistic priorities at the end of the 19th Century. In some of his work can be found elements of symbolismandexpressionism.

Hans Makart (1840–1884, Austria)
Makart was an Austrianacademichistory painter, designer, and decorator. He is most well known for his influence on Gustav Klimt and other artists of the Vienna Secession, but in his own era considered an important artist himself and a celebrity figure in the high culture of Vienna, attended with almost cult-like adulation. The appeal of this ‘Makartstil’ is in its aestheticism, a movement that was also experiencing popularity in EnglandandFrance. Nowadays he is widely considered one of Austria’s finest artists, and has historically been compared to Rubens within his home country.

Anders Zorn (1860–1920, Sweden)
SocietyPortraits
Anders Zorn is a Swedish painter, perhaps the internationally best-known artist from his country. While known primarily as an oil painter, he was also a gifted watercolourist and along with Joaquín SorollaandJohn Singer Sargent represented a highly virtuoso style of painting between the styles of 19th centuryAcademic art,realismandimpressionism.
He attained a great deal of fame during his lifetime as a painter of the famous (including royalty and three American presidents), and this allowed him a great accumulation of wealth during his lifetime. He used this money primarily to build a substantial art collection, which he donated to the Swedish state upon his death, and also to purchase 40 timber houses which Zorn wished to preserve to ensure that the art of traditional timber building was not forgotten. This reflects the respect of Zorn for his other great subject of painting, which was poor and working people, and rural environments.
