Hans Makart, The Death of Cleopatra, 1875.
Liechtenstein, The Princely Collection
Hans Makart was a 19th-century Austrian academic history painter, designer, and decorator. He is best known for his influence on Gustav Klimt and other Austrian artists, but in his own era he was considered an important artist himself and a celebrity figure in the high culture of Vienna and attended with almost cult-like adulation.
Makart was the son of a chamberlain at the Mirabell Palace in Salzburg, Austria, born in the former residence of the prince-archbishops of Salzburg, the city in which Mozart had been born. Initially, he received his training in painting at the Vienna Academy between 1850 and 1851 from Johann Fischbach. While in the Academy, German art was under the rule of a classicism, which was entirely intellectual and academic—clear and precise drawing, sculpturesque modelling, and pictorial erudition were esteemed above all. Makart, who was a poor draughtsman, but who had a passionate and sensual love of color, was impatient to escape the routine of art school drawing. For his fortune, he was found by his instructors to be devoid of all talent and forced to leave the Vienna Academy.

Pola Negri, The terrasse of the Café de la Paix in Paris, Hand-colored Photographs by Burton Holmes, 1927.
“I must urgently recommend that you spend your first leisure hour in Paris at the corner table of the terrasse of the Café de la Paix. It is a fact known and proved that … you have only to sit at this corner long enough, and a friend will appear in time.” - Burton Holmes, Travelogues.
Pola Negri born Barbara Apolonia Chałupiec[a] (Polish, 1897-1987) was a stage and film actress and singer. She achieved worldwide fame during the silent and golden eras of Hollywood and European film for her tragedienne and femme fatale roles. She was also acknowledged as a sex symbol.

Short story Illustration by John La Gatta (John LaGatta), Milk and Honey by Thomas Beer, The Saturday Evening Post, March 4, 1933.
Glamour, grace and beauty epitomized John La Gatta’s work and life. One of the most famous illustrators of the early decades of the 20th century, La Gatta depicted the well-heeled in the pages of nearly all the mainstream magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post, Ladies’ Home Journal, and Cosmopolitan, as well as for swank advertising campaigns. His success afforded him a lavish lifestyle, befitting his own celebrity status. The changing tastes of the public and the advent of photography, found the artist, now in California and in faltering health, struggling to rejuvenate his career. Then, in 1956, came the call from Edward A. “Tink” Adams, the founder of what is now Art Center College of Design, where La Gatta soon became an instructor. ... (x)
