The artist with the initials BKB is likely Banksy, a renowned anonymous street artist and political activist known for his distinctive stenciled artworks. Banksy's works often carry social and political messages, and he has gained international recognition for his thought-provoking pieces. His identity remains a closely guarded secret, adding to the intrigue and mystique surrounding his art.

Basilio, also called Vassilis Vassiliou, is a Greek painter who lives and works in Athens.

Objects appear lighter the further away they are due to atmospheric perspective, where the atmosphere scatters light and reduces contrast as distance increases. This makes objects appear lighter and less distinct as they recede into the distance.

The painting "Rock of Ages" depicting an angel-like figure holding onto a rock in the sea was created by Maxfield Parrish in the early 1900s. Parrish was known for his dreamlike and fantastical imagery, which often featured ethereal figures in natural settings.

I don't know how correct it is, but this website says in the early 20th century:

The Hay Wain represents a near-perfect English summer day and Constable accomplishes this by using natural light and painting realistically from his sketches of the scene. As a young boy Constable often went out "skying", sketching the clouds and sky to perfect his technique.

One of Constable's most innovative techniques was to create light on water by using white paint as a highlight. This technique can be seen in The Hay Wain as the water from the stream in the foreground is disturbed by the wheels of the hay wain itself.

Assuming you're talking about a picture frame, or a framed photo, poster, or art work, mattes are those wide solid-color pieces of thick paper or board that are put in the frame on top of the artwork, like an outline.

A picture frame's dimensions with matting would mean that an 8 x 10 frame with a matte inside may only be able to display a 5 x 7 photo, because that's how big the opening in the matte is.

If you're trying to buy a poster, photo, or art work, dimensions with matting means that the poster, photo, or art work will include a matte, which may be bigger than the poster, photo, or art work itself. (Like above, if you were buying a 5 x 7 photo, with matting it may be 8 x 10.)

Mattes can be very wide, or very skinny, so the dimensions with matting may not actually give you a very good idea of what size the actual frame or poster, photo, or art work really is. If you're concerned, ask about the frame size (if buying a frame), or the size of the actual piece (if you're buying a poster, photo, or art work.)

Remember, if you're buying something you're going to frame, the frame itself will make the dimensions even bigger, so measure your available space carefully!
