Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827) was born in Bonn, which is a small town in Germany on the River Rhine. Beethoven, who first became famous as a piano virtuoso, became the predominant composer of his time and is one of the greatest figures in the history of Western music. As a musician and conductor he was famous for his powerful and emotional personality. This is also evident in his compositions, which include piano sonatas, five piano concertos, nine symphonies and one opera. The theme of the fourth movement of his 9th symphony, which was inspired by Schiller's “Ode to Joy”, is now the European Anthem.

Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890), who powerfully influenced the development of much modern painting, is generally considered the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt. In the first four years of his career as an artist, Van Gogh limited himself to sketches and watercolours. In 1886 he went to Paris to join his brother Theo, who was his greatest friend and supporter. There he was introduced to Impressionism, which made his palette more colourful. In 1888 he moved to Arles, where he painted many of his finest works, including “Self-Portrait with Pipe and Bandaged Ear.

William Shakespeare, who was born in 1564 and died in 1616, is often regarded as the greatest poet and dramatist of all time.
