Book excerpt: Excerpt from North Carolina Museum of Art Bulletin, 1993, Vol. 16 The coalescence of the progressive Young America movement and veneration of the American Revolution sometimes occurred, as evident in the preface to The Pictorial History of the American Revolution which states that it aims to exhibit the kindly prospect of the future, more strongly than the irritating aspect of the past. Immediately following this a contradictory View: The study of history can not be appreciated too highly; it tells to the youth of our country a story full of wisdom, and replete with many a moral - it shows the influence and success of honor and virtue that vice and dishonor go hand in hand together; and it excites them to noble deeds of patriotism, and calls upon them to do all, and suffer all, for their country. Ranney created First News of the Battle of Lexington, then, during a time which extolled the ideals of the American Revolution and the idea of American progress. The Revolution exemplified American heroism and virtue, while Manifest Destiny (a phrase coined in signified the aggressively expansionist spirit of progress. The two concerns commingle in a single event, the War with Mexico. The Mexican War was thelargest American military operation since the Revolution.

This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from North Carolina Museum of Art Bulletin, Vol. 1: Spring 1957 But there is one more proof for this dating of our painting. Three times has Tintoretto made use of the forge motive. One of the four paintings which he executed for the Salotto Dorato of the Ducal Palace, in 1578, shows. The Forge of Vulcan again. As in our painting, four figures surround the anvil, but no story is told. All emphasis is on the melodious rhythm of the action of forging. There is no interest in the descrip tion of the Cyclopes, who appear here as normal human beings. Placed in an even distribution around the anvil, the rise and fall of their hammers conveys the feeling of an incessant circulating motion, a dynamic manifestation of movement in space and time. This version of the motive is certainly a long way from the graceful, decorative arrangement of our painting. The motive appears for the third time in one of Tintoretto's most mature paintings, the Gathering of the Manna in San Giorgio Maggiore, from about 1594. In the upper left corner of this wonderfully exuberant symphony to the praise of this life on earth are three men gathered around an anvil. The almost jubilant intensity of their movements seems to rotate around the anvil in a frenzy' of action. Thus, the three versions of our motive really sum up the whole course of Tintoretto's transfor mation from a graceful representative of the dying High Renaissance to the forceful innovator of the baroque.

Download or read book Jordaens and the Antique written by Joost vander Auwera and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678) was a Flemish Baroque painter whose work has largely been overshadowed by his contemporaries Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck. Providing new insight on the artist as well as art historical context for his works, Jacob Jordaens and Antiquity emphasizes his strategic intelligence with respect to imagery and the art market and challenges the common characterization of Jordaens as a bourgeois artist of genre scenes. Jordaens's work is examined as an example of classical culture being introduced into the commercial and intellectual life of Antwerp. He was an artist with an unusual talent for conveying imagery from classical literature, ranging from Satyr and Peasant to Diogenes Searching for an Honest Man. Focusing on the theme of antiquity, this volume features eighty paintings, drawings, tapestries, and sculptures from private collections and major museums, including the Museo Nacional del Prado in Spain and the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark."--Publisher's website.
