Download or read book Rethinking Boucher written by Melissa Lee Hyde and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unequivocally a modern, Francois Boucher (1703-70) defined the French artistic avant-garde throughout his career. Yet the triumph of modernist aesthetics - with its focus on the self-critical, the autonomous, and the intellectually challenging - has long discouraged art historians and other viewers from taking Boucher's playful and alluring works seriously. Rethinking Boucher revisits the cultural meanings and reception of his diverse oeuvre, inviting us to revise the interpretive cliches by which we have sought to tame this artist and his epoch."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Architectural Space in Eighteenth Century Europe written by Meredith Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architectural Space in Eighteenth-Century Europe: Constructing Identities and Interiors explores how a diverse, pan-European group of eighteenth-century patrons - among them bankers, bishops, bluestockings, and courtesans - used architectural space and décor to shape and express identity. Eighteenth-century European architects understood the client's instrumental role in giving form and meaning to architectural space. In a treatise published in 1745, the French architect Germain Boffrand determined that a visitor could "judge the character of the master for whom the house was built by the way in which it is planned, decorated and distributed." This interdisciplinary volume addresses two key interests of contemporary historians working in a range of disciplines: one, the broad question of identity formation, most notably as it relates to ideas of gender, class, and ethnicity; and two, the role played by different spatial environments in the production - not merely the reflection - of identity at defining historical and cultural moments. By combining contemporary critical analysis with a historically specific approach, the book's contributors situate ideas of space and the self within the visual and material remains of interiors in eighteenth-century Europe. In doing so, they offer compelling new insight not only into this historical period, but also into our own.

Download or read book La collection de tapisseries de Louis XIV written by Jean Vittet and published by Faton. This book was released on 2010 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sa mort, en 1715, Louis XIV laissait l'une des plus belles collections de tapisseries jamais constituées. En effet, en cinquante ans, ce souverain réunit un ensemble sans égal de plus de 2 500 pièces de haute et basse lisse, tissées d'or et d'argent pour la plupart, qu'il constitua non seulement en effectuant de prestigieuses acquisitions auprès de grands collectionneurs comme le duc d'Epernon, Nicolas Fouquet et Mazarin, mais aussi en passant d'innombrables commandes aux manufactures royales nouvellement fondées, oeuvres qui vinrent rejoindre les vénérables tentures héritées de ses ancêtres. Parmi les plus prestigieuses séries, figuraient ainsi la célèbre tenture de L'Histoire de Scipion de Jules Romain, tissage bruxellois qui avait appartenu à François 1er, plusieurs exemplaires des Actes des Apôtres d'après Raphaël, dont l'un fait pour Charles 1er d'Angleterre, issu de la fabrique de Mortlake, ou encore les superbes Chasses de Maximilien, dessinées par Bernard van Orley, aujourd'hui conservées au musée du Louvre. Parallèlement, les productions des manufactures des Gobelins et de Beauvais, inspirées principalement par Charles Le Brun, mais aussi par Nicolas Poussin et Pierre Mignard, vinrent enrichir la collection destinée désormais à la magnificence des maisons royales. L'inventaire de ces tapisseries, rédigé en 1716 après la mort du roi, encore jamais édité, est ici pour la première fois présenté dans sa totalité, commenté et surtout accompagné de l'identification de très nombreuses pièces encore conservées en France ou dans le monde, avec plus de quatre cents photographies en couleur, la plupart très récentes. Aboutissement de dix années de recherche, cette édition du texte de 1716 par Jean Vinet, Inspecteur des collections du Mobilier national, et Arnauld Brejon de Lavergnée, Directeur des collections, est assortie, pour chaque notice, d'une description complémentaire des tapisseries, d'un historique, d'une bibliographie et d'un commentaire. Aussi souvent que possible, la localisation des pièces est précisée avec leur reproduction. Une introduction générale et un index facilitent l'usage de ce catalogue sans équivalent sur le sujet, préfacé par Bernard Schotter, Administrateur général du Mobilier national.
