Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Court of Charles IV: A Romance of the Escorial In short, my mistress liked the works of Comella, though latterly, in view of the discredit into which this divinity of the boards had fallen, hurling him into misery fiom the very summit of his popularity, she did not dare own it in the face of literary or fashionable people. As I had the opportunity of learning from hearing her con conversation and noticing her choice of books, she liked such plays as had a good deal of bustle of entrances and exits, military reviews, hungry children crying for the breast, a grand scene of a large square with a tri umphal arch on one side, bearded personages such as Irish, Russians or Scandinavians, and the style of writing which gave the heroine such speeches in a critical situation as: A living statue I, of ice! Or: Revenge, I must feign! Hatred, we must dis semble! Cunning, favor my hopes l. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This order Of the Escorial excerpts is found also in the two Paris mss, and seems to have descended to them from an early period. It can however have very little weight: for the order of the complete mss agrees with their wording and forms a consistent Whole, whereas the order followed in the excerpts is palpably confused, and the changes introduced, after the right order had been, perhaps consciously, to make the excerpt read better, abandoned.

Download or read book A Record of Spanish Painting Classic Reprint written by C. Gasquoine Hartley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Record of Spanish Painting IN writing the history of Spanish painting, I have striven to recount the growth of the country's art from the stand point of historical evolution. It seemed to me that such a work was needed. The pictures of Spain are, in a very special degree, the outgrowth of the national life, and the distinctive character of the country's record has given them a specific interest. It is not over-stating the truth to say that Spain is the land where the seed was sown for the artistic harvest we are reaping to-day. It is these thoughts that have guided me while writing this record. I have not tried to give a chronological account of every Spanish painter. This work has already been achieved by Sir William stirling-maxwell in the Annals of the Artists of Spain. I have never hesitated to omit those painters whose work to me seemed insignificant and without meaning in the development of the art-life of the country.

Download or read book George A Kubler and the Shape of Art History written by Thomas F. Reese and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating intellectual biography of a pioneering and singular figure in American art history. Art historian George A. Kubler (1912–1996) was a foundational scholar of ancient American art and archaeology as well as Spanish and Portuguese architecture. During over five decades at Yale University, he published seventeen books that included innovative monographs, major works of synthesis, and an influential theoretical treatise. In this biography, Thomas F. Reese analyzes the early formation, broad career, and writings of Kubler, casting nuanced light on the origins and development of his thinking. Notable in Reese’s discussion and contextualization of Kubler’s writings is a revealing history and analysis of his Shape of Time—a book so influential to students, scholars, artists, and curious readers in multiple disciplines that it has been continuously in print since 1962. Reese reveals how pivotal its ideas were in Kubler’s own thinking: rather than focusing on problems of form as an ordering principle, he increasingly came to sequence works by how they communicate meaning. The author demonstrates how Kubler, who professed to have little interest in theory, devoted himself to the craft of art history, discovering and charting the rules that guided the propagation of structure and significance through time.

Download or read book The Rosary Cantoral written by Lorenzo F. Candelaria and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Rosary Cantoral: Ritual and Social Design in a Chantbook from Early Renaissance Toledo presents a model for realizing the fuller significance of illuminated music manuscripts as cultural artifacts, and offers unprecedented insights into the social and devotional life of Toledo, Spain, around the turn of the sixteenth century. After solving the mystery of the Rosary Cantoral's origins, subsequent essays probe the meaning and cultural significance of the manuscript's iconography (including a border decoration after Albrecht Durer), its rare Spanish chants for the Mass, and two striking musical works for multiple voices (one by Josquin Desprez and another on "L'homme arme"). Ultimately, this book focuses on the extraordinary circumstances that engendered the compilation of the Rosary Cantoral around 1500: a system of patronage between a brotherhood of suspected heretics and a religious house that was a key supporter of the Inquisition in Toledo."--BOOK JACKET.
