Book excerpt: Diego Velázquez (15991660) was one of the towering figures of western painting and Baroque art, a technical master renowned for his focus on realism and startling veracity. Everything he painted was treated as a portrait, from Spanish royalty and Pope Innocent X, to a mortar and pestle. This comprehensive introduction to Velázquezs life and art includes a discussion of all his major works, and illustrates most of Velázquezs surviving output of approximately 110 paintings. The artists greatest innovation his unorthodox and revolutionary technique is explored in relation to the styles of certain of his most celebrated contemporaries both in Spain and beyond, including Titian and Rubens. The book concludes with a final chapter on the influence and importance of Velázquezs art on later painters from the time of his own death to the art of recent times including Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon and the Impressionists.

Book excerpt: How do we interpret paintings which concern biblical texts? In this book, artist Jane Boyd and biblical critic Philip Esler offer an entirely fresh set of answers to this question. They provide a new methodology for interpreting such paintings that integrates the three critical contexts (the biblical pre-text, the artist's environment and today's viewer), the relevant pictorial tradition, and the closest attention to how the artist has made the painting. They also reveal the technical secret buried in the composition of this particularly challenging work by Velázquez.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Velazquez Was brought up in the worship of Velazquez. When quite young, I went to Madrid; and my father, on those brilliant days which are only to be seen in Spain, would take me sometimes to the Museum of the Prado, when we made many a long stay in the galleries devoted to Spanish Art. I always left them with a feeling of the deepest admiration for Velazquez. The Meninas, ' the Christ, ' the Lances, ' used to haunt my imagination. Later on, when I was allowed to attend the classes of the Academy of San Fernando, I found once more, among my young fellow-students, the same ardour of enthusiasm. Velazquez was our Deity. We knew his works by heart; how every hand, every head had been painted. Not even the smallest of the pentimenti, so common in his works, escaped us: and we never mentioned him except by referring to him in the most respectful manner by his Christian name as Don Diego, ' which, according to our way of thinking, meant The Master, ' The Master par excellence, ' just as Italians speak of Raphael' or Michel angelo.'

Download or read book Vel zquez and his Times written by Carl Justi and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2016-10-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez (June 1599 – August 6 1660), known as Diego Vélasquez, was a painter of the Spanish Golden Age who had considerable influence at the court of King Philip IV. Along with Francisco Goya and Le Greco, he is generally considered to be one of the greatest artists in Spanish history. His style, whilst remaining very personal, belongs firmly in the Baroque movement. Velázquez’s two visits to Italy, evidenced by documents from that time, had a strong effect on the manner in which his work evolved. Besides numerous paintings with historical and cultural value, Diego Vélasquez painted numerous portraits of the Spanish Royal Family, other major European figures, and even of commoners. His artistic talent, according to general opinion, reached its peak in 1656 with the completion of Las Meninas, his great masterpiece. In the first quarter of the 19th century, Velázquez's style was taken as a model by Realist and Impressionist painters, in particular by Édouard Manet. Since then, further contemporary artists such as Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí have paid homage to their famous compatriot by recreating several of his most famous works.

Download or read book The Latino Christ in Art Literature and Liberation Theology written by Michael R. Candelaria and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exploration of Iberian, Latin American, and US-Hispanic representations of Christ focuses on outliers in art, literature, and theology: Spanish painter Salvador Dalí, Mexican muralist José Clemente Orozco, Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, Spanish existentialist Miguel de Unamuno, Brazilian theologian Leonardo Boff, and Mexican philosopher José Vasconcelos, some of the most brilliant stars in the Spanish and Latin American firmament. Their work, and that of others, stands out from the conventional and the traditional, stretching our imagination by opening our eyes to what we do not want to see. The author also reflects on such significant lesser-known writers as New Mexican author, painter, and priest Fray Angélico Chávez; Argentine writer and political leader Ricardo Rojas, author of The Invisible Christ; Mexican American theologian Virgilio Elizondo; and Chicana feminist Gloria Anzaldúa, author of Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza. He shows how artists project their concerns onto representations of Christ and how the perceptions of the reader and viewer reflect their culture and their psychology. Along the way, Candelaria explores the philosophical issues of representation in aesthetics and the problems of hermeneutics and identity.
