Carlo Ridolfi was an Italian art biographer and painter of the Baroque period. Ridolfi was born in Lonigo near Vicenza, he was a pupil of the painter Antonio Vassilacchi. He painted a Visitation for the Ognissanti and an Adoration of the Magi for San Giovanni Elemosinario in Venice, he copied Tintoretto's Christ Washing the Disciples' Feet in San Marcuola, before it came to the collection of King Charles I of England. Ridolfi's copy still remains in San Marcuola, he was best known, in his own day and since, as an author on art. Carlo Ridolfi was an important collector of drawings, such as Giorgio Vasari. Many of these drawings are conserved in the Christ Church Library. Ridolfi wrote a biography of the Venetian painters in 1648 titled Le maraviglie dell'Arte ovvero, Le vite degli Illustri Pittori Veneti e dello Stato, he wrote La vita di Giacopo Robusti in 1642. He was awarded the knighthood of the Golden Cross by Pope Innocent X and a chain of gold and a medal of St. Mark by the Republic of Venice for his books rather than his painting.

Subsequent Venetian chroniclers who have quoted Ridolfi include Marco Boschini, Antonio Maria Zanetti, Luigi Lanzi. As Vasari's Lives of the Most Excellent Painters and Architects was weaker on Venetian painters than Florentine ones, Ridolfi remains an important source for Venetian painting between the beginning of the Renaissance and his own day, although his accuracy is doubted, many of his numerous attributions to Giorgione, are no longer accepted: according to Michael Hirst, "... the enormous number of paintings attributed to Giorgione by Ridolfi gravely weakens his authority". One purpose of his work was to supply a corrective to Vasari, just as Vasari ascribes all progress in art to Florentines, Ridolfi attempts something similar for the Venetian tradition, with its closer connection to Byzantine art, he was well educated in the classics, his style is much given to rhetorical flourishes, classical comparisons and references to poetry, whilst rather lacking Vasari's talent for telling anecdote.

He approached the larger lives in a scholarly fashion, quoted many documents now vanished, that remain invaluable to art historians. His work gives great insight into the way art was seen in his own day, as well as during the lives of his subjects, he died at Venice in 1658.

Lieutenant General Daniel Webb was a British Army general made famous for his actions during the French and Indian War. He purchased a commission as ensign on 20 March 1720, he was promoted to major of the Eighth Horse, in 1742, served at the Battle of Dettingen in 1743. In April 1745 he was promoted lieutenant colonel of the regiment, served at the Battle of Fontenoy, he was promoted to colonel of the 48th Regiment of Foot in 1755. Webb sailed to North America as a subordinate of Lord Loudoun, travelling to become Commander-in-Chief of Britain's American colonies. Webb is best remembered for his role in the operations around Lake George in 1757, which culminated in the Battle of Fort William Henry. Believing a French deserter's report that the French army of General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm was 11,000 men strong, Webb refused to send any of his estimated 1,600 men north to relieve the besieged garrison at Fort William Henry, since they were all that stood between the French and Albany. General Webb was recalled because of his actions.

In James Fenimore Cooper's novel The Last of the Mohicans, Webb is portrayed as a minor character most noteworthy for declining to send adequate support to Fort William Henry. In the 1992 film he is portrayed by Mac Andrews, he obtained the rank of major-general in 1759 and lieutenant-general in 1761. He died in 1773
