Download or read book L art au XVIIe si cle written by Rosa Giorgi and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'art du XVIIe siècle s'inscrit dans la continuité du XVIe siècle, marqué par la Contre-Réforme, qui répondait à la Réforme initiée par Luther. A cet aspect religieux s'ajoutent d'autres éléments. L'exercice du pouvoir politique change : les régimes absolus essaiment en Europe. Un exemple éloquent des retombées de l'absolutisme sur l'art est Versailles, qui constitue l'apogée du classicisme. De plus, l'Europe est déchirée par la guerre de Trente ans (1618-1648) : l'économie de nombreux pays est touchée, et aggravée par les épidémies, notamment la peste. Ces données ne sont pas sans impact sur l'art. Si le XVIIe est le siècle d'or espagnol, dominé par la figure de Velázquez, c'est aussi celui du déclin du pays et de son empire ; si l'Italie continue d'impressionner, particulièrement avec le baroque, qui introduit avec force la scénographie dans l'art, le centre des arts se trouve progressivement déplacé en France ; si les Pays-Bas présentent une singulière production, de nouvelles puissances émergent - l'Angleterre, la Suède, Prague. C'est au filtre de ce contexte qu'il convient de lire l'art de cette période. Cet ouvrage est découpé en trois parties. " Les mots-clés ", tente de restituer les courants qui agitent le siècle. La nature morte prend un essor nouveau et les vanités sont plus que jamais au goût du jour. De la peinture de genre, que les hollandais affectionnent, émerge un nouveau regard, attaché au quotidien. Les conceptions esthétiques s'écartent des règles d'harmonie dictées par la Renaissance. Le travail sur la lumière, mené par des maîtres tels que Le Caravage, puis La Tour, Rembrandt ou Jordaens, est profondément novateur. Les politiques urbaines donnent lieu à des réalisations d'exception, accordant leur faveur aux places, fontaines et coupoles. On découvre dans la deuxième partie, " Les Lieux ", les villes et pays les plus importants, et l'œuvre des architectes de l'époque. Enfin, " Les artistes " décline 58 biographies : Le Bernin, Bruegel l'Ancien, Hals, Le Brun, Poussin, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, ou Zurbaran décrivent chacun à sa manière ce siècle foisonnant. En fin d'ouvrage, deux index complètent la documentation.

Download or read book The Acad mie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture written by Christian Michel and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture (French Academy of Painting and Sculpture)—perhaps the single most influential art institution in history—governed the arts in France for more than 150 years, from its founding in 1648 until its abolition in 1793. Christian Michel's sweeping study presents an authoritative, in-depth analysis of the Académie’s history and legacy. The Académie Royale assembled nearly all of the important French artists working at the time, maintained a virtual monopoly on teaching and exhibitions, enjoyed a priority in obtaining royal commissions, and deeply influenced the artistic landscape in France. Yet the institution remains little understood today: all commentary on it, during its existence and since its abolition, is based on prejudices, both favorable and critical, that have shaped the way the institution has been appraised. This book takes a different approach. Rather than judging the Académie Royale, Michel unravels existing critical discourse to consider the nuances and complexities of the academy’s history, reexamining its goals, the shifting power dynamics both within the institution and in the larger political landscape, and its relationship with other French academies and guilds.

This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in archival sources, this interdisciplinary study explores the profound historical significance of the mausoleum of the Valois Dukes of Burgundy - the Chartreuse de Champmol. Although the monument is well known as the site of pivotal works of art by Claus Sluter, Melchior Broederlam, Jean de Beaumetz and others, until now art historians have not considered how these works functioned at the center of a complex social matrix. Sherry Lindquist here considers the sacred subjects of the various sculptures and paintings not merely as devotional tools or theological statements, but as profoundly influential social instruments that negotiated complex interactions of power. Lindquist's sophisticated discussion coordinates analysis of primary sources with the most up-to-date scholarship in the field of art history, not only with respect to late medieval Burgundian art, but also to more theoretical questions pertaining to reception.

Download or read book Inessential Colors written by Basile Baudez and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive account of how and why architects learned to communicate through color Architectural drawings of the Italian Renaissance were largely devoid of color, but from the seventeenth century through the nineteenth, polychromy in architectural representation grew and flourished. Basile Baudez argues that colors appeared on paper when architects adapted the pictorial tools of imitation, cartographers' natural signs, military engineers' conventions, and, finally, painters' affective goals in an attempt to communicate with a broad public. Inessential Colors traces the use of color in European architectural drawings and prints, revealing how this phenomenon reflected the professional anxieties of an emerging professional practice that was simultaneously art and science. Traversing national borders, the book addresses color as a key player in the long history of rivalry and exchange between European traditions in architectural representation and practice. Featuring a wealth of previously unpublished drawings, Inessential Colors challenges the long-standing misreading of architectural drawings as illustrations rather than representations, pointing instead to their inherent qualities as independent objects whose beauty paved the way for the visual system architects use today.
