Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Painters This brief sketch of the rise and progress of Painting in Eng land has been drawn from a variety of sources. The little that can be traced of artistic work previous to the end of the fifteenth century does not fill many pages. Ignorance, carelessness, and iconoclastic rage all contributed to the defacement of paintings which we have every reason to believe at one time abounded in our churches and public buildings, as they did at the same period in Italy; and there is good evidence that some of our early English artists are not to be despised. Our forefathers were too much engaged in the rough contests of war to care much for the arts of peace. In the sixteenth century several foreign artists of more or less celebrity were induced to visit and stay in England. Foremost of these was Holbein, and to his example English artists are deeply indebted. In the next century there were a few excellent miniature pain ters, whose work is not to be surpassed at the present day, and then came a succession of foreigners - Rubens and Van Dyck from Flanders, Lely and Kneller from Germany, and a hostviii preface.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A, Century of Painters of the English School IN publishing a Second Edition of this work it has been judged advisable to abridge it considerably and to issue it in a single volume for the convenience of Art Students who may use it as a book of reference. The parts omitted have been mostly those dealing with the foundation of the Academy, and the descriptions of pictures, which latter were considered a little too technical for the general reader.

This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the British School of Painting My aim in compiling a short History of the British School of Painting is to supply an apparent want in the Art Literature of the day. All our recent valuable d104 Books and Essays upon Art pre-suppose more accurate information respecting the names, characteristics and principal works of the painters of the British School than is to be found in a concise form, within the reach of every art student. Although fully conscious that I have rather collected the materials for a history than deftly welded them into one, I trust that my foundation of facts will be solid enough to enable some future historian to construct upon it a more graceful edifice. If, in the meantime, my labours prove of service in bridging over the gap, I shall feel amply repaid. I regret the accidental omission of the names of several excellent artists. This and other short comings I hope to remedy should a second edition be called for. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book English Painting From the Seventh Century to the Present Day Classic Reprint written by Charles Johnson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Painting From the Seventh Century to the Present Day This is the first book on English Painting that deals with the whole period from the seventh century to the present day. Something of the relation of English to Continental Art has also been indicated. I have studied at first hand the great majority of the paintings that I have described; and in judging of them my conclusions are my own. In covering so wide a field within the limits of a single volume, it was impossible to describe the work of all painters of merit. I have therefore selected for descrip tion whatever interested me most, at the same time aim ing at keeping clear the general developments in each period. Landscape, England's greatest contribution to painting, has been given more space than portraiture. Imaginative figure-composition, though it ceased for a long period to exist in England, is one of the oldest as it is one of the newest of English pictorial arts. It has brought forth our most varied powers 0 of invention; and the illus trations here are a reminder that Hogarth and Blake, Stevens and holman-hunt, and even Lamb and Spencer are of the same race as the great mediaeval illuminators and wall-painters.

Nevertheless, the ones here chosen are broadly representative of the best in line and color that our country has yet produced: and while their work is not considered to the exclu sion of other noted names, it will always be shown with the foremost examples of its period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Painting It would be otiose and impertinent of me to say more in this Introduction in respect of the first chapter of this book than that our readers are fortunate in having the mediaeval period of British Painting so compactly and clearly suggested by the authority of Dr. James. Would that a comparable lucidity and comprehension persisted throughout this short history But I am conscious that in its account of British Painting from Tudor times till 1900 this book will not answer many questions that might be put to it.

Download or read book Painters and Painting Classic Reprint written by Sir Frederick Wedmore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the history of art with this discussion of some of the world's greatest painters and their works. Wedmore's book opens with a brief introduction to painting, in which the author declares, "Of all pictorial Arts, major and minor... it is Painting that makes to the mass of us the easiest and most fascinating appeal." Wedmore holds painting alongside literature as a valuable record of the past, and believes the works of the world's great painters provides civilization with portals into specific periods of history. He does not hide his preferences, but rather embraces them as he takes the reader on a journey through time and place while discussing his most revered artists. Chapters are devoted to individuals such as Durer, Holbein, Hogarth, and Romney, as well as broader topics such as Spanish painters, later English art, French eighteenth-century art, and impressionism. A series of black and white reproductions serves as an appendix. Wedmore's book is one that will appeal to art historians or anybody that loves painting. It is a reference book, but one that does not pretend to be all encompassing. This is one man's guide (albeit one highly learned man) to his personal favorite artists, and does not attempt to be anything else. Wedmore does not apologize for leaving certain artists out of this book, and the reader ultimately benefits from the author's convictions. Painters and Painting is a wonderful book about a selection of the world's great artists and their paintings and fully deserves its place in anyone's library.
