Download or read book British and Irish Paintings in Public Collections written by Christopher Wright and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 950 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets a new standard as a work of reference. It covers British and Irish art in public collections from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, and it encompasses nearly 9,000 painters and 90,000 paintings in more than 1,700 separate collections. The book includes as well pictures that are now lost, some as a consequence of the Second World War and others because of de-accessioning, mostly from 1950 to about 1975 when Victorian art was out of fashion. By listing many tens of thousands of previously unpublished works, including around 13,000 which do not yet have any form of attribution, this book becomes a unique and indispensable work of reference, one that will transform the study of British and Irish painting.

Download or read book A Biographical Dictionary of British and Irish Engravers 1714 1820 written by David Alexander and published by A PRECISER. This book was released on 2021 with total page 1120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first reference work to cover all engravers working on copper in Britain and Ireland 1714-1820 This biographical dictionary of engravers working on copper encompasses both those who produced fine art prints, and also those who engraved book illustrations for medical, technical and literary works, all of which played a more important part than is usually realised in spreading information in the age of Enlightenment. Some 3,000 biographical entries draw on much unpublished information, researched over four decades, notably records of apprenticeship, genealogy, insurance and bankruptcy as well as newspaper advertisements and contemporary accounts. This is the first reference work to cover all engravers working on copper in Britain and Ireland 1714-1820. Many biographical entries describe celebrated engravers producing "fine art" prints of paintings, which spread knowledge about living and dead artists. However, this book also builds up a more complex picture of the occupation of printmaking and includes engravers, many previously unresearched, who engraved ephemeral material, such as trade cards, bank notes, and satirical prints as well as the images that spread knowledge across literary, geographical, historical, topographical, medical and technical fields.
Download or read book British Prints written by Ian Mackenzie and published by Antique Collectors Club Dist. This book was released on 1998 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987, this new edition of British Prints is a comprehensive dictionary of British printmakers working between 1650 and 1950. It covers eighteenth century mezzotint portraits, nineteenth century sporting aquatints and topographical views, and original etchings and lithographs in the twentieth century. Since most prints in this period were either signed in the plate or individually signed in ink or pencil by the artist, it provides a convenient and accessible means to identify a printmaker, look up the concise biographical summary and ascertain the printmaker's range of work and relative stature, as well as to obtain some idea of the likely value of the works. British Prints reached the status of bible within the antiques trade in its successful first edition, and this new fully revised edition has been very quick to reprint due to the demand.
