Luca Signorelli (c. 1445 – 16 October 1523) was an Italian Renaissance painter who was noted in particular for his ability as a draughtsman and his use of foreshortening. His massive frescoes of the Last Judgment (1499–1503) in Orvieto Cathedral are considered his masterpiece. More

Wilhelm Trübner (February 3, 1851 – December 21, 1917)
was a German realist painter of the circle of Wilhelm Leibl. He was born in
Heidelberg and had early training as a goldsmith. In 1867 he met classicist
painter Anselm Feuerbach who encouraged him to study painting, and he began
studies in Karlsruhe under Fedor Dietz. The next year saw him studying at the
Kunstacademie in Munich, where he was to be greatly impressed by an
international exhibition of paintings by Leibl and Gustave Courbet. Courbet
visited Munich in 1869, not only exhibiting his work but demonstrating his alla
prima method of working quickly from nature in public performances. This had an
immediate impact on many of the city's young artists, who found Courbet's
approach an invigorating alternative to the shopworn academic tradition.

The
early 1870s were a period of discovery for Trübner. He travelled to Italy,
Holland and Belgium, and in Paris encountered the art of Manet, whose influence
can be seen in the spontaneous yet restrained style of Trübner's portraits and
landscapes. During this period he also made the acquaintance of Carl Schuch,
Albert Lang and Hans Thoma, German painters who, like Trübner, greatly admired
the unsentimental realism of Wilhelm Leibl. This group of artists came to be
known as the "Leibl circle".

He published writings on art theory in 1892 and 1898,
which express above all the idea that "beauty must lie in the painting
itself, not in the subject". By urging the viewer to discover beauty in a
painting's formal values, its colors, proportions, and surface, Trübner
advanced a philosophy of "art for art's sake". In 1901 he joined the
recently formed Berlin Secession, at the time Germany's most important forum
for the exhibition of avant-garde art. From 1903 until his death in 1917 he was
a professor at the Academy of Arts in Karlsruhe, also serving as director from
1904 to 1910. More
