This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 21: June, 1926 Tapestries made during the period from 1375 until 1515 are the greatest achievement of tapestry weaving, because the requisites of design are more adequately met within these years than in any other period in the history of the craft. The earliest tapestries held closely to the architectural tradition, as the King Arthur fragment now in America so clearly demon strates. A series of Gothic canopies each give shelter to a single figure archaically drawn; their structure and ornament have been faithfully transcribed from existing types of building. Then an increasing love of natural forms led the way for the verdure pieces, allegorical and romantic themes furnishing a slight subject for tapes tries entirely sprinkled over with sprightly growing plants; now and then active dogs, strange beasts or an occasional human figure claimed a space. Until about 1450 no precise demarcation existed between French and Flemish workmanship. In the fourteenth century the Flemings dominated sculpture, painting and cartoon making, yet they worked in France, under French patronage, on earlier traditions. Their earthy, energetic natures were somewhat tempered by the greater sensitiveness and fastidious taste of the French. However, as the religious formulas relaxed which had heretofore checked their free dom of expression, the Flemish compositions seethed with interest, human figures failing to achieve first importance among the great mass of rich fabrics, jewels, architecture, flowers and animals. On the other hand, the French withstood this realism and carried on the earlier tradition of design. Brussels became the chief centre of tapestry weaving in the last years of the fifteenth and early years of the sixteenth centuries, weavers going to Italy, France, Spain and England; Tournai, Lille and Valenciennes shared in part its glory. The tapestry,1 (figure 1) lately acquired by the Museum, belongs to this golden age of tapestry making and easily takes its place as the outstanding single purchase in any of the Museum's collections. It is an acquisition of first importance. The subject of the tapestry is the Deposition from the Cross, although in its narrowest sense the episode pictured here is more properly known as the Pieta. The scene fol lows the removal of the dead Christ from the cross and precedes the Entombment. In early times the last events in the life of Christ were narrated in seven scenes, beginning with the Entrance into Jerusalem and ending with the Entombment. Fourteen scenes have since come to be shown, of which the Deposition is the thirteenth. The set of Passion tapestries attributed to Jean de Rome includes eight scenes; in this case the Deposition is the seventh episode.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Pennsylvania Museum, Vol. 5: July, 1907 Stained glass is pre-eminently a color art, an art almost exclusively ecclesiastical. A window is formed of bits of colored glass which are cut into the shapes of faces, or figures, or robes, or canopies, or whatever you want and whatever the subject demands; then features are painted on the faces, folds on the robes, and so forth - not with color, but merely with brown shading; then, when this shading has been burnt into the glass in a kiln, the pieces are put together into a picture by means of grooved strips of lead, into which they fit (stained Glass Work. C. W. Whall, p. The paint, spoken of above, consists of a brown pigment ground up with powdered soft glass (or equivalent silicate) which, when the glass is fired, fuses and becomes part and parcel of it. The powder is first mixed with gum so that it can be painted on the glass with an ordinary brush. This paint is practically Opaque, and must not be confused with the stain and enamels of later centuries. In the rare cases where it is used thin it became a muddy, brown smear. No other paint was known to the early glazier - artist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Pennsylvania Museum, Vol. 9: April, 1911 In 1809, Oberkampf introduced a new process whereby the patterns were reserved in white, in a colored ground. In 1818, another improvement had been made in the manufacture by the introduction of a machine with two cylinders, by means of which two colors could be printed simultaneously. At the beginning of the nineteenth century printed fabrics had become quite fashionable for furniture coverings and hangings. The designs, of historical and literary character, were well drawn and engraved and produced in attractive and permanent colors. The subjects were such as were popular at the time, among which were The Farm, Paul and Virginia, and The Four Quarters of the World.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 72: November, 1922 To quote from the Preface: It has been the aim of the com pilers to present the facts in the light of modern art criticism regard ing each artist and each picture as completely as was consistent with their historical importance and significance.' A catalogue should be not only an explanatory guide book, but an authoritative work of reference. This aim has been, it is felt, most satisfactorily achieved; not only the biographical details of the artists are fully given, but as far as possible facts have been assembled about each picture which enable the student more than ever before to trace its early history and to determine its period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 22: Published at Memorial Hall, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, by the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art; October 1926 There is no question that Pennell himself was a master of technique, and that this mastery-was due to hard work. Whistler, so Pennell says, spent three weeks drawing on the plate of The Black Lion Wharf. How hard I tried to approach it! Pennell adds. He was a prodigious worker and sound technician. But he was not a student of human nature. He did not follow Rembrandt and the old Dutch masters in the study of human life. Activities, not emotions, interested him; his appeal is not to the hearts and souls of humanity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 18: March 1923 The second panel shows three knights, similarly clad, hewing bushes or young trees with swords and hatchets. The middle knight wears a rose-lavender colored hauberk, with white chain mail on his legs. The two side knights are clad in white with ruby hose and ruby belts about their waists. It is to be noticed that the knight on the right has his sword in his ruby scabbard, for, unlike the others, he wields an axe. In other respects the coloring of the panel is like the other, with. A blue background and ruby border, but there appear to be more restored portions. Probably but half of this medallion has its original glass. The trees are stranger than those of the first; rose lavender and pale green, curling and twisting, they resemble the stems of vines. It is even more difficult to tell What these two subjects represent, than to date them. Generally, glass of this period depicts some Bib lical story. They must have been minor parts of a large window, full of medallions, and these tell only part of a story. These knights may represent Christian champions combatting the forces of heathendom, symbolized _as a wilderness of trees; they may themselves be returned Crusaders, the Teutonic Knights, who drove back the un-christian hordes of Northeastern Germany in the thirteenth century.
