Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Guide to French Interiors, Furniture, Decoration, Woodwork Allied Arts: During the Last Half of the Seventeenth Century, the Whole of the Eighteenth Century and the Earlier Part of the Nineteenth Simon Vouet was born in 1590 and died in 1649. He is regarded as the promoter of the great art movement in France founded on the Renaissance. He visited Italy and studied there the works of some of the great artists, including Paul Veronese, Valentin, and Caravaggio. On his recall to Paris by Louis XIII., in 1627, Vouet became principal painter to the King, and had apartments allotted to him at the Louvre. He was the master of LeBrun, Pierre Mignard, Le Sueur, and many others. While in Italy Louis XIII. had already accorded him a pension. He was for a long time employed on making designs for tapestries. He also gave lessons to the King in crayon drawing. He is regarded as the founder of the French school. As he was one of the designers of tapestries, I have thought it best to show one or two engravings from his works to give some idea of his style. He was a prodigious worker, and a great number of his works have been engraved. They have been published in a work called "Ouvre de Vouet." There is a copy at the Victoria and Albert Museum which appears to have belonged to Sir Joshua Reynolds. The designs in it are mostly of religious subjects, and are in a fine, bold, and well-proportioned style. It includes at the end another work of his called "Livre de Diverses Grotesques Peintes dans le Cabinet et Bains de la Reyne Regente au Palais Royal." An eminent writer on decorative art says of Vouet, having no doubt these last designs in his mind: - "He makes for the first time in French Renaissance that abundant use of floral detail in association with more conventional scroll work, which becomes by and by a characteristic of the period of the 'Grand Monarque.' One sees in him, too, the forerunner of Le Pautre and Berain, both of whom he seems to have influenced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive catalogue of the Getty Museum’s significant collection of French Rococo ébénisterie furniture. This catalogue focuses on French ébénisterie furniture in the Rococo style dating from 1735 to 1760. These splendid objects directly reflect the tastes of the Museum’s founder, J. Paul Getty, who started collecting in this area in 1938 and continued until his death in 1976. The Museum’s collection is particularly rich in examples created by the most talented cabinet masters then active in Paris, including Bernard van Risenburgh II (after 1696–ca. 1766), Jacques Dubois (1694–1763), and Jean-François Oeben (1721–1763). Working for members of the French royal family and aristocracy, these craftsmen excelled at producing veneered and marquetried pieces of furniture (tables, cabinets, and chests of drawers) fashionable for their lavish surfaces, refined gilt-bronze mounts, and elaborate design. These objects were renowned throughout Europe at a time when Paris was considered the capital of good taste. The entry on each work comprises both a curatorial section, with description and commentary, and a conservation report, with construction diagrams. An introduction by Anne-Lise Desmas traces the collection’s acquisition history, and two technical essays by Arlen Heginbotham present methodologies and findings on the analysis of gilt-bronze mounts and lacquer. The free online edition of this open-access publication is available at www.getty.edu/publications/rococo/ and includes zoomable, high-resolution photography. Also available are free PDF, EPUB, and Kindle/MOBI downloads of the book, and JPG downloads of the main catalogue images.

Book excerpt: The function of the painted wooden object ranges from the practical to the profound. These objects may perform utilitarian tasks, convey artistic whimsy, connote noble aspirations, and embody the highest spiritual expressions. This volume, illustrated in color throughout, presents the proceedings of a conference organized by the Wooden Artifacts Group of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC) and held in November 1994 at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in Williamsburg, Virginia. The book includes 40 articles that explore the history and conservation of a wide range of painted wooden objects, from polychrome sculpture and altarpieces to carousel horses, tobacconist figures, Native American totems, Victorian garden furniture, French cabinets, architectural elements, and horse-drawn carriages. Contributors include Ian C. Bristow, an architect and historic-building consultant in London; Myriam Serck-Dewaide, head of the Sculpture Workshop, Institut Royal du Patrimoine Artistique, Brussels; and Frances Gruber Safford, associate curator of American decorative arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. A broad range of professionals—including art historians, curators, scientists, and conservators—will be interested in this volume and in the multidisciplinary nature of its articles.

Download or read book Hendrik Petrus Berlage written by Hendrik Petrus Berlage and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hendrik Petrus Berlage, the Dutch architect and architectural philosopher, created a series of buildings and a body of writings from 1886 to 1909 that were among the first efforts to probe the problems and possibilities of modernism. Although his Amsterdam Stock Exchange, with its rational mastery of materials and space, has long been celebrated for its seminal influence on the architecture of the 20th century, Berlage's writings are highlighted here. Bringing together Berlage's most important texts, among them "Thoughts on Style in Architecture", "Architecture's Place in Modern Aesthetics", and "Art and Society", this volume presents a chapter in the history of European modernism. In his introduction, Iain Boyd Whyte demonstrates that the substantial contribution of Berlage's designs to modern architecture cannot be fully appreciated without an understanding of the aesthetic principles first laid out in his writings.
