Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Decorative Arts in England: 1660-1780 The Wallace Collection at Hertford House is, of course, far larger, but what the Wallace Collection has effected for French decorative art, the collection here described has - up to the limit of its size - fulfilled for English. A difference, however, is that whilst at Hertford House we see specimens with the character and style of which we are already well acquainted, few of us were aware that English work had reached the high standard of the objects here illustrated. Both collections embrace the work of the same period, the late 17th and the 18th Centuries, and it was then that decorative surroundings such as are aimed at to-day reached perfection. A collection of objects of that period, therefore, possesses far greater educational value than if - as in so many Museums - the earlier work is almost exclusively represented. Surely the primary objects of a Museum of Decorative Art are to improve taste and to be a guidance and help to the designers of articles for modern requirements? Oak credences and settles, Gothic tapestries, mazer bowls, etc., however interesting to the antiquary, possess little value for practical purposes. Every great movement in art has been primarily due to the patron; artists and craftsmen have always appeared to carry out the demand so created, and the history of ancient Greece and Rome, 01 the mediaeval Church, of the Burgundian Princes and of the diverse development of the Renaissance in districts of Italy, of the wealthy Dutch traders during the first half of the 17th Century are independent illustrations of this truth. Therefore, in endeavouring to understand any period of art, it is an advantage to realise the patronage which induced it. With the downfall of the Constable of Bourbon in the reign of Francois I, there disappeared the semi-independent great French noble; and from that time till the latter part of the 18th Century the peers of France became more and more dependent upon and subservient to the King, and the fashions of the Court were slavishly followedby them. The patronage of the French Kings and their courts has dominated the decorative arts of that country since Francois Ier introduced the Italian Renaissance into France to the time when Napoleon desired that the art of the Caesars should be modernised to reflect his Imperial ambitions.

Download or read book The Material Cultures of Enlightenment Arts and Sciences written by Adriana Craciun and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the eighteenth century Enlightenment receives an important reassessment, using an astonishing range of materials and objects drawn from Europe and beyond, including artefacts from India and China, West Africa and Polynesia. A series of authoritative essays written by experts in the field explores the full range of material culture in the long eighteenth century, raising crucial questions about notions of property and invention, homely and commercial lives. The book also includes a series of well-illustrated exhibits, a startling and provocative assemblage of objects from the Enlightenment world, each accompanied by expert commentaries. The collection of essays and exhibits is the result of collaborative debate by scholars from Europe and north America, who have together worked on the cross-disciplinary importance of material history in making sense of how past society was fundamentally transformed through the world of goods.
