Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Masters of Art The increase of travel in Germany and the frequent pilgrimages that are being made to points of interest to the musician, scholar and pedagogue are contributing to the greater appreciation of the mediaeval flavour and quaint picturesqueness of her smaller towns with their narrow streets and high-gabled timber houses, and to a fuller acquaintance with the rich treasures of her art.

Download or read book The German and Flemish Masters written by Mary H. Witt and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German and Flemish Masters: In the National Gallery The important and interesting collections of German and Flemish pictures in the National Gallery have scarcely received the special study which has been accorded so often to the rival schools of Italy. They have never, perhaps, been treated as a whole, nor in that intimate relation to one another which their early history demands. The literature connected with German and Flemish art is indeed extensive and increasing. Since the remarkable Exhibition held at Bruges in 1902 the early Flemish painters in particular have been subjected to the most careful and critical examination, and much that was before cloudy and vague has been defined, while many new problems have arisen. No attempt has been made in this volume to enter upon the more controversial aspects of the subject. The vexed question of attributions is after all of secondary importance to the intrinsic beauty of the pictures. The writer's object has been to trace the development of these schools through the examples in our Gallery, and to sum up in regard to them the results of the most recent criticism, acknowledging here the debt due to the indefatigable researches of writers both in this country and abroad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Masters Great artist of the past as a free agent, early possessed of all the power and development acquired by long work against outside pressure, and to think of him as imposing the form of his ideas upon an easy world. Hence, sometimes we think of Albrecht D'urer as bringing Teutonic art into Italy, while, of course, he is nothing more than a German student going to the land of greater art. We throw back into the early position of the great man the image of his full development; we make him out as conscious from the beginning of all his capacities. Instead of recognising in him the same laws that belong to other developments, we insist on his being all of one piece - as if, like Minerva, he had sprung all armed from the brain of Jupiter. In short, we forget that these men had to die long ago to obtain the authority which they hold to - day. It is possible that none of them achieved their best work, or carried out their intentions in full. Rubens and Raphael may have had some such chance, but we know that we see in Michelangelo and Rembrandt the expression of a struggle against outside necessities. To give a full account of the life of any great artist the history of each piece of work should be taken up as we take up the story of a general's campaign. I have not expressly stated these points in the brief essays. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-06 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Engravings by Early German Masters: With an Introduction and Biographical Notes; February 9th to March 9th, 1907 First there is Schongauer, the purest artist that Germany has produced. His prints are wholly medieval in character, no Renaissance influence can be seen in them. One is apt to think that the Renaissance found German art a crude, coarse thing and transformed it to grace and beauty - but surely the Italians could have added noth ing to the elegance of Schongauer's prints. They are wonderfully simple too, both in conception and execution. There is no need to seek after mysterious meanings in them and no possibility of questioning the sincerity of their religious faith.

And the Schack Gallery, in its present form and shape, carries out in the fullest sense of the words the intentions of the Emperor, of helping to increase the fame of the City of Munich and as a memorial to great artists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Teutonic, Italian, and French Masters: Translated and Edited From the Dohme Series The chapter devoted to the German Minster Builders, not usually included in the category of the masters, may perhaps be acceptable on other grounds. Apart from the variety it imparts to the work, the subject seemed so extremely interesting, has here been dealt with so ably, and is otherwise so little known and so rarely treated in works of Art, ' that its exclusion might have seemed to many a greater oversight than its insertion may possibly to some appear surprising. At all events, by a slight sacrifice of cold consistency, a desirable feature has thus been added to the volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany and the German Emperor In the controversial portions of the subject, there is, no doubt, a risk in speaking what seems to be plain truth. Hom' soit qm' ma! Y pense. It is to German thinkers we owe the belief that the risk of mere politeness is greater, as it is also to German thinkers, above all, that we owe the evolutionary method in historical study, the emphasis on geographical and economic factors, and the thought that, in some dark cave deep set in the mountain of facts, the indomitable seeker may surprise the good fairy of the story - the Volksgez'st, the spirit of the people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Index, 1927 Agricultural College as Instructor in German Language and Literature. Holding a Master's degree in Arts from Brown University, trained for his special work by study and research in the University of Heidelberg, he brought to our College the dignity and the poise which is characteristic of the liberal thinker disciplined by. The classical tradition. The biographical events which bear upon Professor Ashley's preparation for his life's work may be simply stated. He was born at Medford, Mass, Sept. 6, 1880. First a country school boy, then prepared for College at the Boston Latin School, he entered Brown University, graduating in 1903 and remaining three vears more as instructor in German and graduate student in Germanics. During this period of study he received the ma. Degree. The year 1906-7 was spent at the University of Heidelberg. Then followed a year at Bates College whence, in 1908, he was called to head the Department of German at In regard to his attainments in the world of scholarship it is sufficient to say that he is a member of Phi Beta Kappa; and furthermore that American students of merely average intelligence do not study Germanics at Heidelberg University. The qualities which now distinguish the man were manifested at an early age._ Even as a boy he seems to have possessed the gift of a vivid and creative imagi nation. He is thrilled by stories of the dogs of St. Bernard; he revels in the exploits of all-conquering story-book heroes; he dreams of _crossing the seas and visiting strange countries and stranger peoples. But rarer than the gift of imagi nation is the ability to incarnate the vision in deeds. This boy was a practical idealist; he prepared himself in Greek, and without a teacher, for admission to the Boston Latin School. Furthermore, he took' up by himself and under rigorous self - discipline made considerable advance in the piano before he had received a single lesson in music.
