He was born in 1840 in Paris and helped develop a new style of painting called Impressionism that focused on capturing light, shadows, and outdoor scenes using loose brushstrokes and bright colors.

Caravaggio - Genius and Rebel 4
Caravaggio was one of the most extraordinary characters in the history of art. He was the prototype of the turbulent Bohemian artist, his explosive personality helping to obscure the traditional elements of his paintings. His dramatic use of light and shade and uncompromising realism creating a new pictorial vocabulary for European art. From c1599 he drew on High Renaissance and even antique models, with his decorum defying realism. His influence was indeed greatest on artists in areas of Flemish artistic ascendancy. It is almost impossible to overestimate the influence of Caravaggio.
He was not only the most powerful and influential Italian painter of the 17C, but also one of the prototypes of the idea of the artist as a rebel outside the normal conventions of society, punctuated by disputes with patrons about his unconventional treatment of religious themes. Caravaggio was one of the few real revolutionaries who really changed the history of painting. His aggressively realistic and dramatically lit paintings swept away the remains of the late Renaissance Mannerist style. He marked the beginning of the Baroque painting. Fiercely original Caravaggio had left us a basket of rotting fruits and an aging Madonna that no artist had followed.

Marc Chagall was a Russian-French modern artist known for his imaginative surrealism and use of vivid colors. He often painted dreamlike scenes and memories from his Jewish upbringing that placed figures, animals, and objects in unusual contexts like floating in the sky.

John Singer Sargent
John Singer Sargent was simply the most successful portraitist of his days at the end of the 19C and the beginning of the 20C. He lived in Italy, Paris and London. He travelled widely From to Venice to the Tyrol. Corfu on the European Mediterranean coast. He visited Morocco, Tangiers and Egypt on the North African coast. He even ventured into Lebanon, Syria and the Holyland. In American he went to Montana, Maine, Florida, Boston, New York, Washington DC etc. He was fluent in French, Italian and some German. He was well read in European literature, an accomplished pianist and a passionately keen musician. Henry James, the American writer who lived in Europe describe Sargent as being ‘civilized to his fingertips’. He knew personally many of the artists, performers and painters of his days, including the giants like Degas, Rodin, Monet and Whistler.
Technically Sargent belong to the same line of portraitists like the Velazquez, Frans Hals and van Dyck, all of them committed their paint quickly onto the canvas. You will be amazed on close inspection of their paintings how spontaneous the paints were applied. Sargent like the Impressionists also a practitioner of painting in the ourdoor. This is particularly true with his watercolours, which were often a record of what he had seen. In his later life Sargent was mainly painting for the enjoyment of himself, as an observer. This was true when he was appointed as the War Artist in World War One.
For comparison with his peers, I think it is interesting to compare him with the works of John Frederick Lewis, the orientalist, who also painted in oil as well as watercolour. Sargent and Van Gogh were born a few years apart and their career were developed in different direction regards to their career, style and technique. But both of them painted in the ‘open air’ (plein-air), as well. Sargent was sympathetic to the called of the Impressionists. He even used some of the technique but was never fully converted. Personally, I think Sargent is one of the finest artists of his time, and he knew it too.
Mary Cassatt - The New Woman of Impressionism
Mary Cassatt was an American painter who spent most of her career in France. She was introduced to the Impressionist circle by Edgar Degas and often painted scenes of women's daily lives and their relationships with children. Unlike other Impressionists, Cassatt focused on portraying the private lives and social roles of women. She sought to depict the "New Woman" emerging in the late 19th century from a woman's perspective. Cassatt updated traditional images of mothers and children to reflect modern family life. She gained recognition for her sensitive depictions of the intimate bonds between mothers and daughters.

T.Lempicka
Tamara de Lempicka was a Polish-born painter who rose to prominence in the 1920s in Paris for her Art Deco style portraits and nudes. She struggled throughout her career to be recognized as a serious artist rather than just a decorative painter. Her early life exposed her to the works of Renaissance masters in Italy which influenced her formal technique and use of color. In Paris, she developed her signature luminous and geometric style through portraits of wealthy clients and striking nudes like Andromeda and Adam and Eve. However, she remained a footnote in art history until her rediscovery in the late 1960s.
