Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the History of Painting, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Age of Constantine the Great to the Present Time It is the Author's wish to supply, by means of the present Hand-Book, a want which he himself sensibly experienced when he first endeavoured to acquire a general knowledge of the early history and progress of the Art of Painting. He found no short and easily-intelligible guide, pointing out to the unlearned the leading styles of Art, and serving as an introduction to the researches of our most recent writers. The book now submitted to the indulgence of the connoisseur first consisted only of notes compiled for private study; these were augmented and corrected by the inspection of the most important specimens of Art, and the whole was finally arranged with a due regard to chronological order. The work makes no pretension to originality; its sole object, as already stated, is, to form an introduction to the more valuable productions in the literature of Art. The Author only hopes he may have succeeded in fulfilling the most obvious requisites for this end. His work is therefore strictly to be considered as a compilation.

RESTORATION AND SECOND DECLINE. MASTERS OF THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES. INTRODUCTION. 1 CV. The greatest Italian painters flourish'ed at a period when the Papacy, the external representative authority of the Church, had attained the height of its worldly power, and when the Popes had assumed an important position among temporal princes. But this singular state of things had no sooner taken effect, than the contradiction which it involved necessarily became evident, and was in fact the cause of its fall. The secularization of the Papacy called forth reformations for Italy as well as for the North, which, after long struggles, were at last brought about. But the interval which preceded reformation and subsequent restoration had naturally a most ruinous effect on Art: the inward hold of a simple faith on the spiritual dignity of Art was lost, and was superseded by manner and affectation. In addition to this, various political troubles had taken place, the effects of which rapidly reduced the Roman and Florentine schools to that state of degeneracy which we have before had occasion to notice. The Venetian school alone, under the more favourable circumstances already alluded to, maintained its greatness and importance for a longer period. Toward the end of the sixteenth century these 2 political ferments had subsided. In Italy a new and powerful papacy had been established, which sought to awaken the spiritual tendencies in their ancient dignity, and to breathe a new life into Art. But it was a period of restoration for Art as well as Politics; the age of free creative genius, restrained only by its own laws, was gone. The greater number of artists of this time (the end 3 of the sixteenth and first half of the...

Download or read book Janson s History of Art written by Horst Woldemar Janson and published by Pearson. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fo> Rewritten and reorganized, this new edition weaves together the most recent scholarship, the most current thinking in art history, and the most innovative online supplements, including digital art library. Experience the new Janson and re-experience the history of art. Long established as the classic and seminal introduction to art of the Western world, the Eighth Edition of Janson's History of Art is groundbreaking. When Harry Abrams first published the History of Art in 1962, John F. Kennedy occupied the White House, and Andy Warhol was an emerging artist. Janson offered his readers a strong focus on Western art, an important consideration of technique and style, and a clear point of view. The History of Art, said Janson, was not just a stringing together of historically significant objects, but the writing of a story about their interconnections, a history of styles and of stylistic change. Janson's text focused on the visual and technical characteristics of the objects he discussed, often in extraordinarily eloquent language. Janson's History of Art helped to establish the canon of art history for many generations of scholars. The new Eighth Edition, although revised to remain current with new discoveries and scholarship, continues to follow Janson's lead in important ways: It is limited to the Western tradition, with a chapter on Islamic art and its relationship to Western art. It keeps the focus of the discussion on the object, its manufacture, and its visual character. It considers the contribution of the artist as an important part of the analysis. This edition maintains an organization along the lines established by Janson, with separate chapters on the Northern European Renaissance, the Italian Renaissance, the High Renaissance, and Baroque art, with stylistic divisions for key periods of the modern era. Also embedded in this edition is the narrative of how art has changed over time in the cultures that Europe has claimed as its patrimony.
