Heinrich Ambros Eckert (16 October 1807 - 10 February 1840; Würzburg, Germany)
Heinrich Eckert was a German painter of battle-pieces. He was born at Würzburg in the Grand Duchy of Würzburg, and was at first instructed by Carl Caspar Fesel. In 1825 he attended the academy at Munich, and afterwards visited the Tyrol and France.

Between 1835 and 1840, in conjunction with Monten and Schelver, he published a work upon the German federal army, with two hundred coloured lithographic plates; and another illustrating the return of the Russian troops to their homes.

He died at Munich in 1840, while engaged upon a picture of the great review near that city before the Emperor of Russia. Besides genre subjects and battle-pieces he painted marine views.

Dietrich Monten (18 September 1799 - 13 December 1843)
In 1816 Dietrich Monten started a law degree at the University of Bonn, however he terminated his studies and completed his military service in 1818. In 1821 he attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy where he studied with Peter Cornelius, whom he followed shortly afterwards to Munich. There he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts under Peter von Hess history painting, continued by several study trips.

His enthusiasm for the military is reflected in his many battle scenes and representations of various rulers during their campaigns.
