Legend

  • The names are chronologically arranged in such a way that the Floruit, the creative period that begins around the time of graduation and the beginning of publication, falls within the specified period. In many cases, this creative period falls into two adjacent periods (Renaissance and Modern Era or Modern Era and Modern Era or Modern and Present), so that the name is accordingly assigned to the earlier period.
  • The pictures are aligned according to the line top of entry - top of picture, unless they are shifted downwards by previous pictures. Only the names are given for the pictures. All further information can be found in the corresponding personal article.
