Book excerpt: Martin Schongauer (ca. 1450?1491) was the greatest Northern European printmaker of his time. A painter by training, he elevated engraving from a minor off-shoot of the goldsmith?s craft to a popular and prestigious art. His technical and artistic achievements opened the way to many followers, first and foremost Albrecht Durer. Max Lehrs?s authoritative catalogue of Schongauer?s prints was first published in 1925, as part of his encyclopedic treatise on the early engravers of northern Europe, and has long been out of print. For each engraving in Schongauer?s oeuvre, the catalogue provides a detailed description of the engraving, its variant states (if any), lists of impressions and watermarks, a discussion and bibliography of previous research, and a listing of engraved copies and other artwork inspired by the engraving. The catalogue distinguishes several grades of quality among the impressions, and notes the different watermarks represented by each grade, a major aide in the dating of the prints, and an invaluable tool to the art historian and collector.This volume presents the first English edition of the catalogue, adding reproductions of all the engravings and of their major variant states. Introductions by AlanShestack (1969) and Charles Minott (1971) are included, which present advances in Schongauer scholarship since Lehrs.The catalogue is followed by an illustrated list of watermarks, a list of copies and forgeries misattributed to Schongauer by earlier scholars, a list of collections mentioned in the text, and an index of the engravings.

Download or read book Nuremberg a Renaissance City 1500 1618 written by Jeffrey Chipps Smith and published by Univ of TX + ORM. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 729 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated study of Renaissance Nuremberg explores the city’s social and artistic history through the sixteenth century and beyond. The German city of Nuremberg reached the height of its artistic brilliance during the Renaissance, becoming one of the foremost cultural centers in all of Europe by 1500. Nuremberg was the home of painter Albrecht Dürer, whose creative genius inspired generations of German artists. However, Dürer was only one of a host of extraordinary painters, printmakers, sculptors, and goldsmiths working in the city. Following a map of the city’s principal landmarks, Guy Fitch Lytle provides a compact historical background for Jeffrey Chipps Smith's detailed discussions of the city’s social and artistic significance. Smith examines the religious function of art before and during the Reformation; the early manifestations of humanism in Nuremberg and its influence on the art of Dürer and his contemporaries; and the central role of Dürer’s pedagogical ideas and his workshop in the dissemination of Renaissance artistic concepts. Finally, Smith surveys the principal artists and stylistic trends in Nuremberg from 1500 to the outbreak of the Thirty Years War. Nuremberg: A Renaissance City, 1500-1618 contains biographical sketches of forty-five major artists of the period, plus more than three hundred illustrations depicting the city and its most magnificent artistic treasures.

Download or read book How Art is Made written by Debra N Mancoff and published by Frances Lincoln. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Art Is Made looks at renowned works of art from across the centuries and around the globe and asks the intriguingly simple question – how were these works actually made? Divided into two sections – materials and methods – each chapter showcases a single work of art which demonstrates the mastery and innovative use of a single material or method, from oil paint, pastel and pencil, to woodcut, litho and impasto. Each work is presented as the centerpiece of a capsule history, while comparative works are also included to help amplify our understanding. How, for example, did Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel fresco, or Turner become such a master of watercolor? How did Warhol turn so effectively to screen printing, and how does Yayoi Kusama create such beguiling 'infinity rooms'? The book enhances the experience of looking at great works of art and guides us to a deeper understanding of how they were created and why we regard them as so important.

Download or read book Creation written by John-Paul Stonard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-14 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fully illustrated, panoramic world history of art from ancient civilisation to the present day, exploring the remarkable endurance of humankind's creative impulse. Some fifty thousand years ago, on an island in modern-day Indonesia, an early human used red ochre pigment to capture the likeness of a native pig on a limestone cave wall. Around the same time, across the globe in Europe, another human retrieved a lump of charcoal from an old fire and sketched four galloping horses. It was like a light turning on in the human mind. Our instinct to produce images in response to nature allowed the earliest Homo sapiens to understand the world around us, and to thrive. Now, the art historian John-Paul Stonard has travelled across continents to take us on a panoramic journey through the history of art – from ancient Anatolian standing stones to a Qing Dynasty ink handscroll, from a drawing by a Kiowa artist from the Great Plains to a post-independence Congolese painting. Lavishly illustrated throughout, Creation is an ambitious, thrilling and landmark work that leads us from Benin to Belgium, China to Constantinople, Mexico to Mesopotamia. Journeying from pre-history to the present day, it explores the remarkable endurance of humankind's creative impulse, and asks how – and why – we create.
