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.

Giovanni Paolo Panini (1691-1765) was an Italian painter and architect. He also worked with stage scenery, Fresco decoration of palaces, and was a good figure painter. Panini was a professor of perspective and optics at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome and French Academy of Rome.

His works include exterior city, buildings, Roman ruins and interiors with substantial content of architectural imagination (capricci) and contemporary events and ceremonies. His good hand at figure drawing and their scaling makes scenes lively. Panini frequently repeated subjects, yet always retained his spontaneity by varying composition and details.
