I have gathered famous artists in this list. I have given the year
of birth and the initials of their names. Between the parentheses
I show the first letter of their main style of work (although many
of them were involved with various techniques).
For extra merit you can replace the question mark with
his/her greatest work of art (in your opinion).


Example:1606 = R v R (IS)[?]
1606= Rembrandt van Rijn (Independent Style)
[The Night Watch]


1452 = LDV (R)[?]
1475 = MB (R)[?]
1632 = JV (B)[?]
1697 = WH (C)[?]
1832 = EM (I)[?]
1840 = CO M (I)[?]
1840 = OR(S)[?]
1858 = GS (P)[?]
1864 = H de T-L(J)[?]
1869 = JFO (R)[?]
1872 = PM (NP)[?]
1881 = PP(C)[?]
1898 = MCE (L)[?]
1899 = HM (T)[?]
1904 = W de K (AP)[?]
1904 = SD (S)[?]
1920 = AK (CP)[?]
1921 = KA (AE)[?]
1928 = YK (MP)[?]
1928 = AW(P)[?]
1936 = HA(NF)[?]
