Download or read book Doctor Thomas Monro written by Mora Abell and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctor Thomas Monro 1759-1833 Physician, Patron and Painter Introduction Thomas Monro, art collector and doctor to the insane, was a unique figure in London society of the eighteenth anbd early nineteenth centuries. In his professional capacity as head of Bethlem Hospital, Bedlam, the Hospital for the Insane, he was summoned to treat George the Third, during his bouts of madness. His private passion was painting in watercolor, and amongst the artists he befriended and encouraged were J.M.W. Turner and Thomas Girtin. Monro appears to be the missing link in the change of style in watercolors that took place around the beginning of the nineteenth century. Many young men who became leading artists of their day were students at the informal meeting of artists held in his house on Adelphi Terrace, weekly on a Friday evening, from 1974. His house became a studio turning out endless sketches and coloured drawings by young artists, known as 'Monro School Copies'. They copied from drawings by Munro, J.R. Cozens, William ALexander, Henry Edridge and Thomas Hearn: also Monro's neighbour John Henderson had a known contemporary collection of drawings, as had Monro himself, which the students copied from. In addition to Turner and Girtin, John Linnell, John Sell Cotman, Peter de Wint, William Henry Hunt, Joshua Cristall and John Varley, among others, found their way to Monro's evening gatherings. Monro and his friends taught them accusracy in drawing, accompanying them on outdoor sketching trips, teaching them to see from Nature, as well as giving them the enjoyment of the company of other young artists, with an opportunity to share ideas. The as yet acknowledged Monro, played a key role in the development of the styles of these artists. The rise and establishment of watercolor painting, with the standards and ideals which Monro insisted upon, had much to do with the unrivaled position which the English School in Water-Colours had attained by the time of his death, whilst John Ruskin went so far as to say that Thomas Monro was "Turner's true master." So many papers are still held by family memebers, which is why so little correct information had appeared on Thomas Monro to date. With five children surviving him, much has been distributed to their descendants, so it is difficult to get a clear picture. Included in the story is a brief description of Bedlam, od the Bethlem, Hospital. Monro never kept a diary, but his son Edward Thomas (Tom) did, and these diaries and those of his artistic son Henry, and Sally his daughter, have been made available to me. THese form the basis for the book, and are held by a member of the family. Letters and descriptions, many of still in private hands, gave further insight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The catalogue The Sun Rising Through Vapour was published to accompany the Barber Institute's 2003/04 exhibition of the same name, and presents some of Turner's most luminous seascapes, painted during the early part of his career from 1795 to 1810.His first exhibited oil painting, Fisherman at Sea of 1796, was described at the time as masterly, and his early reputation was founded on a series of dramatic seapieces that he regularly showed at the Royal Academy, the British Institution and in his own gallery until about 1810. The artist even claimed to have lashed himself, Ulysses-like to the mast of a ship during a storm so that he could grasp the full force of the experience.

The Victoria and Albert Museum, or South Kensington Museum as it used to be known, was founded by the British Government in 1852, out of the proceeds from the Great Exhibition of 1851. Like the Exhibition, it aimed to improve the expertise of designers, and the taste of the public, by exposing them to examples of good design from all countries and periods. 2,500 publications have to date been produced by, for, or in association with the V&A. The National Art Library, which is part of the Museum, has prepared this detailed catalogue, supplemented by a secondary list of 500 other books closely related to the V&A. The 1,500 exhibitions and displays recorded include those held in the main Museum and at its branches, the Bethnal Green Museum (now the National Museum of Childhood) and the Theatre Museum, Covent Garden, and additionally those it has organized at external venues, in Great Britain and abroad. The exhibitions and publications are fully cross-referenced, and there are name, title and subject indexes to the whole work, as well as an explanatory introduction.
