George Barret sen., r.a. (Dublin 1728/31-1784 London)
George Barret senior (c. 1728–1784) was a renowned Irish landscape painter, known for his idealized depictions of British and Irish landscapes. Born in Dublin, he began his career coloring engravings and teaching drawing, before training under Robert West. His talent attracted the attention of Edmund Burke, who encouraged him to paint from nature and introduced him to influential patrons, such as the Earl of Powerscourt.
In 1762, Barret moved to London, where he quickly became one of the most sought-after landscape painters of his time. He was a founding member of the Royal Academy in 1768 and exhibited there regularly until 1782. His works, often commissioned by the aristocracy, depicted picturesque views of country estates and wild landscapes, particularly in Wales and the Lake District.
Today, Barret's paintings are highly sought after and command high prices on the art market. In 2010, two of his works sold for a total of $760,567 at Christie's in London. This belated recognition underscores the importance of his contribution to 18th-century landscape painting.

“The Escalade or The Goodbyes of the Morning”and “Happiness and Misfortune”
This set consists of two stipple engravings, both printed in color.
Philibert-Louis Debucourt (1755–1832, Paris) was a French painter and printmaker renowned for his elegant genre scenes and satirical works reflecting Parisian society in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Trained at the Académie Royale de Peinture, he initially made his mark with paintings, but he became particularly well-known for his etchings. He mastered the technique of color aquatint, which he perfected to produce lively, often humorous scenes of daily life, social strolls, and bourgeois interiors. Debucourt is famous for works such as "La Promenade Publique" (1792), which depicts elegant society in the gardens of the Palais-Royal. He also produced social and political caricatures, influenced by the radical changes of his time, particularly the French Revolution. His works are distinguished by their technical precision, narrative vivacity, and critical yet refined outlook on contemporary society. Today, he is considered one of the most important engravers of his time.

Martin Knoller (1725, Steinach am Brenner – 1804, Vienna) was an Austrian painter of the late Baroque and early Neoclassical periods, active primarily in Italy. Trained in Salzburg and then Vienna, he continued his studies in Rome, where he was influenced by the masters of the Roman Baroque. Knoller is best known for his religious and decorative frescoes, particularly in the churches and monasteries of northern Italy, especially in Tyrol, Milan, and Naples.

Among his major works are the frescoes in the library of Neresheim Abbey and those in the Charterhouse of Pavia. Also a professor at the Brera Academy in Milan, Knoller influenced a generation of Italian artists. His work skillfully blends Baroque tradition and neoclassical innovation, marking an important stage in the evolution of religious painting in Central Europe.

Pieter Van Loo
(Haarlem 1731-1784)
Pieter van Loo (1731, Haarlem – 1784) was an 18th-century Dutch painter, a member of the renowned Van Loo family of artists, although less well-known than his French predecessors such as Jean-Baptiste van Loo or Charles-André van Loo. Active mainly in Haarlem, he specialized in portraits and genre scenes, in a style influenced by the Dutch tradition of the previous century, but with more decorative touches characteristic of the 18th century. He also produced some landscapes and historical compositions. His work is appreciated for its fine execution, delicate expressions, and quality of drawing, although he did not achieve the same renown as other members of the Van Loo dynasty. His works are now rare and sought after by lovers of Late Dutch painting.
