This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historic Gallery of Portraits and Paintings, Vol. 4 The two first heads have been wrought from a single block of marble. That which interests the reader to the left is the portrait of Epicurus, chief of a sect of philoso phers, no less famous among the ancients than the moderns. They pretended that happiness consisted in voluptuousness but this pleasure, in their opinion, was no other thing than virtue. We are not to reproach them for the eccentricities of some of their sectarista. Epicurus was laborious and frugal. He was born in a village of Attica, in the year 342 B. C. And died at the age of seventy-two, completely worn out by fatigue. He composed a variety of philosophical treatises, the most part of which are lost. It is from his works that Ln cretins collected opinions which he decorated with all the charms of poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historic Gallery of Portraits and Paintings, Vol. 3 This picture is attributed to Julio Romano; but there is no positive evidence of its being by the hand of that master. It formed, no doubt, a part of the pannels of some great work, or filled a vacuum in some extensive gallery. Although it is impossible, at this distance of time, to ascertain its real author, it bears evident marks of the Roman school. If it be, in fact, the production of Julio Romano, it is imagined that it was produced at the time when that celebrated artist imitated the style of Raphael. The figure is remarkable for the grace of its attitude and the chastity of its design; and the drapery is arranged in the most tasteful manner.

Download or read book Historical Portraits written by Henry Benjamin Wheatley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical Portraits: Some Notes on the Painted Portraits of Celebrated Characters of England, Scotland, and Ireland is an excellent volume on art history, and more specifically portraiture. It is the work of English author and editor Henry Benjamin Wheatley containing reproductions and detailed entries on more than one hundred English, Irish, and Scottish portraits In Historical Portraits Wheatley remarks in his opening that the painting of portraits was one of the most widespread artistic endeavors in English history. The purpose of the book is thus to create a general catalogue of these works. The book is divided into chapters, each of which details a different segment of painted portraits. There are chapters on spurious and misnamed portraits, amateur portrait painters, portraits of professionals, portraits of actors and actresses, portraits of common people, and several more subjects. As a volume about artwork, this title rightfully includes a significant number of illustrations. Henry Benjamin Wheatley was a portrait enthusiast and a man knowledgeable of art history, and both of these attributes help to shape this text. Wheatley has selected a wide range of portraits for interpretation, ranging from images of a common farmer to members of the aristocracy. The author's textual descriptions and analysis are thorough, well researched, and regularly illuminating. Even readers with a significant knowledge of the subject matter will find this to be an informative read. Wheatley tells both the history of artists and their subjects as well as a broader history of the development of England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. If you are interested in either English history, art history or portraits you would be wise to consider this title.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Portraits, Vol. 1 of 3: 1700 1850 The academic, or, as it came subsequently to be called, the classic style, carries down its roots through the humanism of the Renaissance to classical foundations. It had ceased to flourish in Italy, the land of its growth, long before the beginning of the eighteenth century, and the influence of any Italian artists who visited England about that time, mostly decorative painters who only occasionally executed portraits, contained little trace of it. But the seeds of it lingering there were gathered by Sir Joshua Reynolds and matured in his practice. Enforced by his teaching, to which his position as head of the only institute of artistic education then existing in this country gave incalculable weight, his principles became -the principles of the Royal Academy, and his successful career was the proof of their universal acceptance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Portraits: Children Still, practically every great painter has tried his hand at painting children at least once or twice, and most of them have produced excellent work; only a man may turn out a very respectable portrait of a child and yet not be a true painter of children. To do that well there is needed a certain insight into child charac ter. Not that a child has a very subtle or complicated character, but it is a character all the same and one that can be divined only by sympathy. Constable once said that to a man who approached Nature in an arrogant spirit her choicest beauties re mained forever veiled. One might 'say this particularly about children. We feel instinctively that only those who love children can paint them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits of the Eighteenth Century: Historic and Literary But it is not only a choir of immortal artists who have passed from the scene, it is more than that; it is a manner of conceiving the things of the mind that ceases, a literature which departs. Sainte-beuve was the last of the litterateurs in the former sense of the word. We shall never again see writers solely occupied with the things of the intellect, and writing of these with grace and good taste. 1 would I were mistaken, but it seems to me that the pen, in future, is to serve more especially two classes of men - the money-makers and the amusers; on the one hand, the language of busi ness; on the other, that of violent effects and puerile surprises.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historic Gallery of Portraits and Paintings, Vol. 7 These ten generals alternately took the command. The day arriving during which Aristides was to direct the army, he committed the management of it to Mil tiades, of whose military talents and approved valour he was fully sensible, feeling himself happy to obey a gene ral of such superior experience. Aristides was present at the celebrated battle Of Marathon, and was entrusted after the victory with the care Of the prisoners and of the booty, in which office he acquitted himself to the entire satisfaction of the army. The following year he was appointed Archon, and received the distinguished epithet of the Just. His integrity was a pretext for his destruction. Themistocles having represented that his virtues were only exhibited as a means Of ele vating him to the supreme power, - that conceiving mankind like himself, he had abolished the tribunals, and that he insensibly produced a. Monarchy divested Of all pomp and attendants; the people of Athens, with consummate ingratitude, banished Aristides for ten years, by the medium of Ostracism. It was upon this occasion that a countryman, who was ignorant of his person, requested him to inscribe on his shell thecannon] aristides.
