Parlem de Pintura...
Philip James de Loutherbourg (Strasbourg, 31 d'octubre de 1740 - Chiswick, 11 de març de 1812) va ser un pintor anglès d'origen francès. El seu pare, expert en pintura de miniatures, el va iniciar en l'art de la pintura. Després de formar-se a la Universitat d'Estrasburg va estudiar a París amb Charles-André van Loo especialitzant-se ràpidament en pintura de paisatges i vistes marines. El 1767 va entrar a formar part de l'Acadèmia Francesa i va exposar algunes de les primeres obres. Més tard va viatjar per l'Europa Central i Itàlia en busca de nous recursos i tècniques pictòriques. El 1771 va viatjar a Londres adquirint la nacionalitat anglesa pocs anys després. Allà va entrar com a membre de la Royal Academy. Va morir a Chiswick el març de 1812.
Parlem de Música...
Ludwig Spohr (Brunsvic, 5 d'abril de 1784 - Kassel, 31 d'octubre de 1859) va ser un violinista, director i compositor alemany. De ben petit va mostrar talent per al violí i va començar els seus estudis amb J.A. Riemenschneider i a partir del 1791 amb Dufour. Als 15 anys va entrar com a intèrpret a l'orquestra del duc de Brunswick i tres anys després va realitzar un viatge d'estudis a Rússia on va estudiar amb el violinista Franz Anton Eck. Precisament en aquest període de joventut van datar les seves primeres obres com, per exemple, el seu primer concert de violí. Al seu retorn el duc el va animar a realitzar una gira de concerts pel nord d'Alemanya i el 1804 l'opinió d'un crític influent el va donar a conèixer arreu del país. El 1805 va ser nomenat director d'orquestra de la cort de Gotha, on hi va romandre durant set anys. Allà va conèixer a Dorette Scheidler, arpista de 18 anys, amb qui es va casar l'any següent. Conjuntament van formar un duet de violí i arpa que va tenir un considerable èxit. Fins i tot van realitzar una gira de concerts per Itàlia i van viatjar a París i Londres. No obstant això, Dorette Scheidler va abandonar la seva carrera quan van tenir fills. Després del període en Gotha, es va instal·lar amb la seva dona a Viena, on va ser el director d'orquestra del Theater an der Wien des del 1813 fins el 1815. En aquesta època va conèixer a Beethoven, amb qui va mantenir una relació amistosa. Dos anys més tard va acceptar el càrrec de director d'orquestra de l'òpera de Frankfurt del Main, on també va representar les seves òperes. El 1822, per recomanació de Carl Maria von Weber, se li va oferir el lloc de director d'orquestra a la cort de Kassel que va acceptar i en què hi va romandre la resta de la seva vida. Com a compositor va ser molt prolífic en tots els gèneres coneguts destacant especialment els seus concerts, les seves nou simfonies i algunes de les seves òperes i cançons. En vida va gaudir d'una fama contrastada com a intèrpret, compositor i director d'orquestra sent el primer en utilitzar la batuta. Spohr va morir a Kassel l'octubre de 1859.
