Michael Page, 1979 ~ Pop Surrealism painter

Michael Page, American painter, art paints oil and acrylic paintings that are abstract and surreal with animals and bright colors. Living and working in San Francisco, CA, Page creates vibrant dreamscapes using eye-popping colors and a focus on the spirit that breathes inside every living organism, the Pneuma. With a trademark technique of using bold brush strokes and vibrant color palettes, Page’s paintings seem to jump off the canvas as they question new life, science, and the infinite variations of consciousness.
He has shown his work nationally and internationally throughout both Europe and the United States including the cities of Reykjavik, Berlin, Bristol, Rome and Montreal.

Rogier Van Der Weyden | Northern Renaissance painter

Rogier van der Weyden, original name Rogier de la Pasture (1399/1400, Tournai [Belgium] - 1464, Brussels), Northern Renaissance painter who, with the possible exception of Jan van Eyck, was the most influential northern European artist of his time.

Though most of his work was religious, he produced secular paintings (now lost) and some sensitive portraits.

Rogier was the son of a master cutler, and his childhood must have been spent in the comfortable surroundings of the rising class of merchants and craftsmen.

Petrus Christus | Flemish Primitives

Petrus Christus (1410 circa-1475 circa), è stato un pittore Fiammingo.

Appartenne alla cosiddetta "seconda generazione" del periodo dei Primitivi Fiamminghi, dopo la prima dei fondatori Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden e Robert Campin.

Le notizie sulla sua vita sono scarse: non si conosce neanche quale fosse il suo vero nome (quello di Petrus Christus è stato dedotto dalla sua firma, petr. XPI).

Il catalogo delle sue opere, che conta circa quaranta pezzi, è stato ricostruito in base agli otto dipinti pervenutici, datati tra 1446-1457, che recano la sua firma.
