What was Japan like in 1853, when this portrait was started by Utagawa Hiroshige with one print from each of the 69 provinces. It is an outstanding picture book from just before photography. Hiroshige travelled the Tokaido road to participate in an important procession in Kyoto in 1832 and published his 53 Stations of the Tokaido (Hoeido) which was the most popular print series ever made in Japan, see the authors ISBN ES 978-8-413-731-469. It was even more popular than Hokusais series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which had been recently published and which had influenced Hiroshige tremendously ISBN ES 978-8-411-744-935.

Joaquín Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene and the soul of the person he was painting. Sorolla painted a large number of portraits, even though it is said he didnt like doing them. For doing something he detested he certainly did it magnificently. In this volume some of the portraits from his formative period 1863 -1888 as well as his consolidation period 1889 -1899 are presented. Sorolla lived while photography was being invented and popularized. Her was fortunate that the nobility and wealthy bourgeoisie still liked to have their portraits painted. He also painted many Spanish painters, writers and politicians and his portraits are a great introduction to Spanish society and politics of the day as well as Spanish history.

Joaquín Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene he was painting. Joaquín Sorolla painted the most wonderful beach scenes, many of them with oxen towing fishing boats. One thing that will surprise you. In spite of Joaquin Sorolla being Spain's most famous painter of beach scenes and fishing boats, there does not appear to be a single seagull in his paintings. So, what animals did he paint? Did he paint birds? Apart from the oxen as draught animals, he painted several horses, pigs, a donkey and sheep when he painted types of people and local dress which made up his vision of Spain, diverse and colorful yet united. More privately, he painted dogs and a cat as pets, superbly catching their soul and character.

Emanuel Aage Petersen (geboren als Aage Emanuel Petersen am 18. Februar 1894 in Kopenhagen; gestorben am 27. Dezember 1948 in Farum). Er war ein danischer Maler, der vor allem fur seine gronlandischen Motive bekannt war. 1921 war er in Gronland. Begeistert von der Insel kehrte er von 1923 bis 1926 jedes Jahr nach Gronland zuruck. Von 1928 bis 1930 unternahm er eine Kunstexpedition, die vom Greenland Board und dem danischen Staat finanziert wurde. Die Darstellung Gronlands wurde zu seiner Lebensaufgabe. Im Laufe seines Lebens schuf er zwischen 2000 und 3000 Gemalde. Seine Darstellungen der landlichen Natur waren zunachst durch eine sehr detailreiche Porzellanmalerei gepragt, spater ging er jedoch dazu uber, stilisierter zu malen. Besonderen Wert legte Emanuel Aage Petersen auf das Farbenspiel und die Darstellung der Wetterbedingungen und malte stets schones Wetter. Neben Landschaften malte er auch Dorfer und Alltagssituationen der Bevolkerung, allerdings nicht immer naturgetreu und stets aus groer Distanz gesehen. Er schuf sowohl Aquarelle als auch Olgemalde. Anfang der 1930er Jahre reiste er unter anderem nach Paris und Rom, um seine Werke auf Kolonialausstellungen zu prasentieren. Seine Gemalde wurden in dieser Zeit auch in Schweden und Grobritannien ausgestellt. Er kehrte 1935 nach Gronland zuruck, ebenso 1937 und noch einmal nach Kriegsende 1946. Er starb zwei Jahre spater im Alter von 54 Jahren.

Emanuel Aage Petersen (born Aage Emanuel Petersen on February 18, 1894 in Copenhagen; died December 27, 1948 in Farum). He was a Danish painter, best known for his Greenlandic motifs. In 1921 he was in Greenland. Enthusiastic about the island, he returned to Greenland every year from 1923 to 1926. From 1928 to 1930 he undertook an art expedition, which was financed by Grnlands Styrelse and the Danish state. The depiction of Greenland became his life's purpose. He created between 2000 and 3000 paintings in the course of his life. His depictions of the country's nature were initially characterized by very detailed porcelain painting, but later he began to paint in a more stylized manner. Emanuel Aage Petersen paid particular attention to the play of colors and the depiction of weather conditions, and he always painted good weather. In addition to landscapes, he also painted villages and everyday situations of the population, although these were not always true to life and were always seen from a great distance. He created both watercolors and oil paintings. In the early 1930s he travelled to Paris and Rome, among other places, to present his works at colonial exhibitions. His paintings were also shown in Sweden and Great Britain during this period. He returned to Greenland in 1935, as well as in 1937 and again after the end of the war in 1946. He died two years later at the age of 54.
