Ludovico Marchetti (10 May 1853, Rome - 20 June 1909, Paris) was an Italian-born painter of genre scenes, who spent most of his life in France.
His artistic education began in the studios of Mariano Fortuny, a Spanish painter who lived in Rome during the 1870s.
Shortly after completing his studies there, in 1878, aged twenty-five, he moved to France, where he would remain for the rest of his life. There, he continued his studies and began holding exhibits at the Salon; receiving a bronze medal in 1889. As his reputation grew, he exhibited in Munich and Berlin as well, where he developed a sizeable following.
He specialized in historical period pieces, largely scenes from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, designed for the tastes of the petit-bourgeoise. His favorite subjects were the cavaliers, troubadours and courtiers of the 18th century, dramatically re-imagined with richly colored clothes and fine fabrics.
Today, he may be best remembered for the illustrations he created for a popular reprinting of Shakespeare's plays; notably Othello and Romeo and Juliet .

Such representations may be realistic, imagined, or romanticized by the artist.

Thomas Jones was a Welsh landscape painter. He was a pupil of Richard Wilson and was best known in his lifetime as a painter of Welsh and Italian landscapes in the style of his master. However, Jones's reputation grew in the 20th century when more unconventional works by him, not originally intended for exhibition, came to light. Most notable among these is a series of views of Naples which he painted from 1782 to 1783. By breaking with the conventions of classical landscape painting in favour of direct observation, they look forward to the work of Camille Corot and the Barbizon School in the 19th century. His autobiography, Memoirs of Thomas Jones of Penkerrig, went unpublished until 1951 but is now recognised as an important source of information on the 18th-century art world.
