Frances Hodgkins (1869-1947) was a New Zealand-based Landscape painter. She had art education in the local Dunedin School of Art. She also became an art teacher in England for a while. She frequently visited Europe but her stay in England remained most important one.

Frances Hodgkins was a skilled painter in traditional sense, but she became increasingly desirous of finding a place in Europe’s art scene. She decided in 1908, to settle in Paris. She increasingly became impressionistic and turned into a modernist. She used the simple forms, to build up the space and then exploit them further with contracting colours. She continued with water colours, but also used oil paints and charcoals. She mixed the conventions of still life painting for landscape painting. She unified her compositions by playing with texturing brushstrokes. The colours helped her to convey light and movement.

Frances Hodgkins favoured marketplaces, streets, boats and waterfronts as topics. She painted freely and spontaneously. When she found that lacking, shifted the location. Her works’ portfolio was of nearly seventy paintings, produced over nearly fifty years, in diverse media and subject matter.

Hendrick Frans van Lint (1684-1763) was a Flemish landscape and vedute painter. He was part of the group of Flemish and Dutch painters then active in Rome. He was born in Antwerp but at young age left for Rome (sometime between 1697-1700).

Art technique of Hendrick was meticulous one. He worked with extensive preparatory site work, as sketches and studies, in pencil, pen and wash. He used to develop full-scale compositions on canvas, and then added ruins and classical buildings to substantiate the topical imaginary. On one hand, he worked with idealized natural landscapes, and also near-realistic scenes of towns. In later part of the career, he began to paint everything in Rome, and this resulted in some daring views.
