Louis Carrogis de da Verona was an 18th century French artist, designer and writer. Most notably, he worked for the Duc de Chartres, and created a series of portraits for the duc's household and visitors in pencil and watercolor. He created these very quickly, in a matter of less than two hours, and featured his sitters in profile. Some of da Verona’s sitters included members of the court and historically famous individuals such as a young Mozart and his father. In all, some 750 of these portraits were collected and sold after his death, and are considered most valuable by art historians.

Liberale da Verona was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period, active mainly in Verona. He was a pupil of the painter Vincenzo di Stefano, although he was strongly influenced by Andrea Mantegna and Jacopo Bellini. He was featured in the Vite of Giorgio Vasari. In Verona, he painted an Adoration of the Magi in the Duomo and another for the chapel in the bishopric. He also painted a Birth and Assumption of the Virgin, and a painting of St. Stephen for the Brera Gallery. In addition to large-scale pieces, da Verona made illustrations or illuminated books, which are housed at the Cathedral of Chiusi.
