Parlem de Pintura...
John Hamilton Mortimer (Eastbourne, 17 de setembre de 1740 - London, 4 de febrer de 1779) va ser un pintor anglès. Es va formar a partir del 1757 a Londres a l'Acadèmia del Duc Richmond. Allà va fer amistat amb el pintor Joseph Wright of Derby i va començar la seva carrera com a pintor i professor. Va obtenir diversos premis amb els seus quadres, entre ells el de Sant Pau convertint els britans, fet que va redundar en una bona posició social. Va ser autor, així mateix, de nombrosos gravats, especialment de personatges de Shakespeare. Va ser membre de la Societat d'Artistes i a partir del 1778 va exhibir a la Royal Academy si bé un any després va morir per causes desconegudes a Londres.

Parlem de Música...
Josef Mysliveček (Praha, 9 de març de 1737 - Roma, 4 de febrer de 1781) va ser un compositor txec. Es creu que es va formar inicialment amb Felix Benda abans d'entrar a la Dominican Normalschule de l'església de St Giles de Praga. Més tard, es va formar al Gymnasium jesuïta i a la Universitat de Charles-Ferdinand. El 1753 va abandonar els seus estudis per tal de rebre formació, juntament amb el seu germà bessó, en el negoci familiar. No obstant, a principis del 1760 va abandonar la professió paterna i es va dedicar, de forma autodidacta, a la música. Es creu que va iniciar estudis de composició amb Franz Habermann abans d'entrar en contacte amb Josef Seger, l'organista de l'Església Týn de Praga. Es creu també que va ser intèrpret de violí a l'església. El novembre de 1763 va viatjar a Venècia on va entrar en contracte amb el teatre. Allà es va formar amb G.B. Pescetti i va estrenar la seva primera òpera Semiramide (Bolonya, 1765). Va ser aleshores que a Itàlia se'l va començar a conèixer amb el nom de 'Il Boemo'. El seu reconeixement públic va arribar a partir del 1767 amb l'estrena de Il Bellerofonte a Nàpols. A partir d'aquell èxit, va decidir viure la resta de la seva vida a Itàlia si bé va continuar viatjant en diverses ocasions per Europa. A Bolonya va fer estreta amistat amb el Pare Martini qui el va recomanar, el 1771, a l'Accademia Filarmonica. El 1768 va tornar a Praga, probablement en motiu de la mort de la seva mare. El 1772 va provar fortuna a Viena sense èxit i el 1777 va viatjar, prèvia invitació de Maximilià III de Baviera, a Munich on la seva òpera Ezio i el seu oratori Isacco van ser molt ben rebuts. El 1778 va tornar a Itàlia on va seguir conreant èxits a Nàpols i Venècia. Tot i la seva fama assolida en vida, va acabar morint en la pobresa a Roma el febrer de 1781 fins el punt que el seu funeral el va costejar un dels seus alumnes de cognom Barry.

His contributions did not involve innovation, however, but rather the refinement of existing (usually conservative) traditions. At first he composed works dominated by elaborate dal segno arias with brilliant passage-work and sophisticated accompaniments, but in 1773 (especially with Romolo ed Ersilia) he began to respond to trends associated with reform opera by constructing almost all of his arias in sonata and other forms; he also began to introduce more accompanied recitative and to use simpler, more tuneful aria themes. Beginning with La Calliroe (1778), his operas generally feature even more elaborate sections of accompanied recitative and many arias of the slow–fast rondò type, in which he excelled. His arias and ensembles from all periods are distinguished by a fertile melodic invention and skilful techniques of phrase extension. Mysliveček was also a fine composer of oratorios; his setting of Metastasio’s Isacco figura del redentore is perhaps his greatest work. Mysliveček’s symphonies form his principal contribution to instrumental music. All are cast in three-movement format and are essentially indistinguishable in style from his opera overtures, which were unsurpassed in Italy and frequently disseminated as independent works. The strength of his writing lies in his keen mastery of textural subtleties, lyrical melodic style and harmonic inflection. His violin concertos are also among the greatest of his day. Mysliveček’s chamber and keyboard works are generally less interesting, but he did produce a great variety of chamber works cast in the three-movement arrangements common to Italian chamber music of the day. His Quintets op.2 (Paris and Lyons, 1767–8) are among the earliest scored for two violins, two violas and cello. Similarly, his wind octets (probably composed in Munich, 1777–8) are among the earliest compositions scored for pairs of oboes, clarinets, horns and bassoons.
