1. Such + noun phrase + as + enumeration (the enumeration describes the noun phrase in more detail, that is, it gives examples of what the noun phrase is) Example I used to work with such dangerous animals as lions, tigers and snakes. or I used to work with dangerous animals such as lions, tigers and snakes.

- As + adjective/adverb + as + enumeration (this structure is used to show similarity between what preceds the first as and what follows the second as ) In your example, it says that the painters were all different (in terms of their styles) and yet just like Goya, Manet and Picasso, they were all inspired by Titian and other Renaissance painters .
