Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish paintings were aesthetic, intellectual, and economic touchstones in the Parisian art world of the Revolutionary era, but their importance within this framework, while frequently acknowledged, never attracted much subsequent attention. Darius A. Spieth’s inquiry into Revolutionary Paris and the Market for Netherlandish Art reveals the dominance of “Golden Age” pictures in the artistic discourse and sales transactions before, during, and after the French Revolution. A broadly based statistical investigation, undertaken as part of this study, shows that the upheaval reduced prices for Netherlandish paintings by about 55% compared to the Old Regime, and that it took until after the July Revolution of 1830 for art prices to return where they stood before 1789.

Download or read book The Restoration of Paintings in Paris 1750 1815 written by Noémie Étienne and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decades following the 1973 publication of Alessandro Conti’s Storia del Restauro have seen considerable scholarly interest in the development of restoration in France in the second half of the eighteenth century. A number of technical treatises and biographies of restorers have offered insight into restoration practice. The Restoration of Paintings in Paris, 1750–1815, however, is the first book to situate this work within the broader historical and philosophical contexts of the time. Drawing on previously unpublished primary material from archives in Paris, Berlin, Rome, and Venice, Noémie Étienne combines art history with anthropology and sociology to survey the waning decades of the Ancien Régime and early post– Revolution France. Initial chapters present the diversity of restoration practice, encompassing not only royal institutions and the Louvre museum but also private art dealers, artists, and craftsmen, and examine questions of trade secrecy and the changing role of the restorer. Following chapters address the influence of restoration and exhibition on the aesthetic understanding of paintings as material objects. The book closes with a discussion of the institutional and political uses of restoration, along with an art historical consideration of such key concepts as authenticity, originality, and stability of artworks, emphasizing the multilayered dimension of paintings by such important artists as Titian and Raphael. There is also a useful dictionary of the main restorers active in France between 1750 and 1815.

Download or read book Rubens and His Age written by Art Gallery of Ontario and published by London [England] : Merrell Publishers ; Toronto : Art Gallery of Ontario. This book was released on 2001 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rubens was the most important and creative Flemish artist of the seventeenth century, an era noted for the internationalism of its art. As political and cultural barriers fell, Rubens and his contemporaries, including Van Dyck and Brueghel, travelled throughout Europe, working for a wide variety of patrons that included the different European courts, the Church and the most prominent private collectors of the age. Catherine the Great of Russia sent advisers throughout Europe in search of the most prestigious art collections, with the result that the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg is filled with examples of paintings, drawings and the decorative arts from Antwerp, where Rubens and his circle formed a close-knit artistic community, the hub of a network of influence that spanned the Continent. Rubens and his Age presents the jewels of the Hermitage's collection, many of them never before published, including Rubens's monumental allegory The Union of Earth and Water, as well as a remarkable selection of objets d'art, some of which were either owned, designed or commissioned by Rubens himself. This book represents an unprecedented opportunity to explore one of the world's finest collections of European art.
