Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), westernized name of Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy, was a Russian writer regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time, and best known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), which are often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction.

Tolstoy's ideas on nonviolent resistance, based on the christian Sermon on the Mount, had a profound impact on such pivotal 20th-century figures as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.

Antoine Laurent Lavoisier(1743-1794) was a French chemist, philosopher and economist, widely considered the "father of modern chemistry" in popular literature. He introduced the scientific method to the field of chemistry.

Lavoisier is most noted for his discovery of the role oxygen plays in combustion. He recognized and named oxygen (1778) and hydrogen (1783), and opposed the phlogiston theory. He helped construct the metric system, wrote the first extensive list of elements, and helped to reform chemical nomenclature. He predicted the existence of silicon (1787) and was also the first to establish that sulfur was an element (1777) rather than a compound. He discovered that, although matter may change its form or shape, its mass always remains the same.

At the height of the French Revolution, he was charged with tax fraud and selling adulterated tobacco, and was guillotined.

The David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture, produced by Michelangelo between 1501 and 1504. It measures 4.34 meters in height (5.14 meters with the base) and it is taken from a block of white Carrara marble, abandoned after the failure of other sculptors. Michelangelo was able to take advantage of the narrowness of the block of marble and get around one of its faults (a breach in which he dug the space between the right arm and the torso). Michelangelo represented David, a sling (leather strap used as a slingshot) in his hand, just before his fight against the giant Goliath.

Originally placed in front of the Palazzo Vecchio to symbolize the determination of a young republic against the tyrant, the original has been exhibited in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence since 1873. The David that can be seen in front of the Palazzo Vecchio is a replica installed in 1910.

Smaug is a dragon and the main antagonist in J. R. R. Tolkien's 1937 novel The Hobbit, his treasure and the mountain he lives in being the goal of the quest. Powerful and fearsome, he invaded the Dwarf kingdom of Erebor 150 years prior to the events described in the novel. Critics have identified close parallels with what they presume are sources of Tolkien's inspiration, including the dragon in Beowulf, who is provoked by the stealing of a precious cup, and the speaking dragon Fafnir, who proposes a betrayal to Sigurd.
