Who Is? What Is? How Is? Where Is?

Re: Famous People

1. Name the German scientist who discovered x-ray.

2. This Italian artist often painted hair in a rich red tone.

3. Name the German socialist who collaborated with Karl Marx in helping complete "Das Boot".

4. These twin brothers , from Belgium , became famous for their balloon ascents and bathysphere descents. What is their surname?

Okay, have to admit, I had to look these up, and am not even sure I'm right then. Heehee!

But...

2. Is this Dante Gabriel Rossetti? He's the only Italian painter, from that time period, who seemed to favor red heads. It didn't say that's what he was known for anywhere, but from his paintings, he has quite a few.....

4. I found 2 sets of balloonists who were twins. I think you are looking for August and Jean-Luc Picard (heehee - star trek fans!) But, one place said they took off from Belgium, but that they are actually Swiss.

And just an interesting fact that the inventors of the hot air balloon, or one of the first to fly in them, at least, were twin brothers also...

So... is that cheating?

Butcher, Baker, Candle Stick Maker

In an old wooden shoe

Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To see an old lady upon a white horse.
Rings on her fingers, and bell on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes.

Okay...

I have to ask... on the artist... I think you may have the wrong Titian... I came across one, Tiziano Vecellio, AKA Titian, who was from way earlier than the 1800's... closer to the 1500's, but he painted redheads...

Titian Ramsey Peale appears to do more nature paintings... birds, butterflies, etc... but I could be wrong...
