Well, being an art buff, I can say that the middle one is a self-portrait of JMW Turner, who could lay claim to being Englands greatest artist?

The Turner prize is an annual award in the arts, often controversial, so I guess the link is they all have prizes named after them?

[dtaai-maai]

Correct, caller!! Jolly well done, old bean.

So, the last very suave chap is Monsieur...?

[Siani]

The first 2 pics look like military? Generals? None of the 3 look to european or american. Military leaders?

[PeteC]

Nope, not military leaders but involved with the military. Pete

EDIT: Half a point to Siani

[Norseman]

The man in the middle is Mr. Mikhail Kalashnikov, the inventor of the famous Kalashnikov or AK-47 assault rifle.

[PeteC]

Yes indeed, 1 point for Norseman. Pete
