This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Art of the Eighteenth Century There are indeed marked exceptions to the rule thus tentatively laid down, and, most marked of all, that of Antoine Watteau himself. The painter of Fe'tes Galemies, the incomparable master, who though he never attempted themes of serious import (save only those sacred subjects which, with him, were Of the usual frivolous eighteenth-century type), touched with his own wistful melancholy, with the beauty of his own solitary, yearning soul, the scenes of frivolous gaiety, of artificial comedy, Which, with the changeful palette of the enchanter, he evoked. He was the Giorgione of the eighteenth century, but a Giorgione the true poetry of whose art was not fully appreciated by the connoisseurs or the society of his own day. To his contemporaries he was just the initiator and the most brilliant exponent of the Fete Galam'e school, a painter of exquisite skill, but not to be included in the highest category. The most complete manifestations of his art must still be sought for in the Louvre, In the Prussian palaces, and in the Wallace Collection. Unavailing efforts were made to obtain for the recent exhibition either the Fe'te Cfiampe'tre, in the National Gallery of Scotland,1 or the still more famous Plaz'sz'rs a'u Ba! Of the Dulwich Gallery; or again, that masterpiece of a higher order, l'amour Paz'sz'ble, which is in one of the palaces at Potsdam. As it was, there were shown three little pieces not without their own peculiar significance in the oeuvre of the Valenciennes master; and with them a sheet Of studies of a Negro's head which illustrates his art at its highest point. There is deep pathos of a wholly different kind in the technically superb art of Chardin - so moving in its na'i've simplicity, its unquestion - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Architecture in France in the Eighteenth Century written by Wend Graf Kalnein and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture in France in the Eighteenth Century Wend von Kalnein French architecture of the eighteenth century - which exhibited great technical ability and refined taste - influenced architectural style throughout Europe. This handsome book is a survey of the French architecture of the period. It begins with the origins of the 'style moderne' under the last years of Louis XIV, discusses the end of Rococo and the return to antiquity, and concludes with the Revolutionary architecture and the house of Madame Récamier. Kalnein describes the development of palace and hôtel architecture by the two great architects de Cotte and Boffrand, discussing such large urban projects as the reconstruction of Rennes and the Places Royales. He traces the return to antiquity (which began when the scholars of the Académie d'Architecture were sent to Rome), the revolutionary architecture with its grand, but never executed, projects, and the shift from neoclassicism to early romanticism. Kalnein also examines the decorative arts of the period, which became even more important than architecture in the Rococo period. Focusing on such architects as Boffrand, Gabriel, and Redoux, he shows how a study of their building decoration illuminates the evolution of 'style moderne,' the battle between Rococo and Neoclassicism, and the dissemination of French styles throughout Europe.
