Adolph Menzel (1815-1905) German painter
German painter Adolph von Menzel is one of the most famous German artists of the 19th century and the most successful artist of his era in Germany where his popularity owing especially to politically propagandistic works, was such that few of his major paintings left Germany, as many were quickly acquired by museums in Berlin.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) French academic painter
"William Bouguereau is unquestionably one of history's greatest artistic geniuses. Yet in the past century, his reputation and unparalleled accomplishments have undergone a libelous, dishonest, relentless and systematic assault of immense proportions. His name was stricken from most history texts and when included it was only to blindly, degrade and disparage him and his work. Yet, as we shall see, it was he who single handedly opened the French academies to women, and it was he who was arguably the greatest painter of the human figure in all of art history."
