  • Release : 2020-04-28
  • ISBN : 0691206511
  • Pages : 385 pages

Download or read book A Superb Baroque written by Jonathan Bober and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genoa completed its transformation from a faded maritime power into a thriving banking center for Europe in the seventeenth century. The wealth accumulated by its leading families spurred investment in the visual arts on an enormous scale. This volume explores how artists both foreign and native created a singularly rich and extravagant expression of the baroque in works of extraordinary variety, sumptuousness, and exuberance. This art, however, has remained largely hidden behind the facades of the city's palaces, with few works, apart from those by the school's great expatriates, found beyond its borders. As a result, the Genoese baroque has been insufficiently considered or appreciated.0Lavishly illustrated, 'A Superb Baroque' is comprehensive, encompassing all the major media and participants. Presented are some 140 select works by the celebrated foreigners drawn to the city and its flourishing environment. Offering three levels of exploration-essays that frame and interpret, section introductions that characterize principal currents and stages, and texts that elucidate individual works-this volume is by far the most extensive study of the Genoese baroque in the English language.00Exhibition: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, USA (03.05.-16.08.2020) / Scuderie del Quirinale, Rome, Italy (03.10.2020 - 10.01.2021).

Book Hendrick Goltzius  1558 1617

Download or read book Hendrick Goltzius 1558 1617 written by Norbert Michels and published by . This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hendrick Goltzius? 1558 in dem niederrheinischen Ort Bracht bei Venlo geboren? ging 1577 mit seinem im Xantener Exil lebenden lehrer, dem niederländischen Philosophen, Schriftsteller und Kupferstecher Dirck Volckertsz. Coornhert (1522?1590) nach Haarlem. Dort machte sich Goltzius alsbald selbstständig und gründete 1582 einen eigenen Verlag, der schnell mit Spitzenprodukten der Druckgraphik hervortrat und sich länderübergreifend einen Namen machte. Basis hierfür war Goltzius? technische Brillanz und Virtuosität in der Handhabung des Kupferstichs, aber auch des Farbholzschnittes. In seinen sog.?Meisterstichen? stellte er sein technisches Vermögen unter Beweis, indem er Meisterwerke der Renaissance in der Handschrift Dürers, van Leydens, Tizians, Bassanos oder Barroccis täuschend echt nachahmte. Bei diesen Blättern, wie auch bei seinen eindrucksvollen eigenen Bilderfindungen, ging es jedoch nicht nur um bloße Reproduktion oder um Nachahmertum eines Eklektizisten, sondern um kreative Invention. Fast sämtliche Graphiken weisen neulateinische Epigramme von Humanisten auf, die mit moralischen Botschaften die Bilder kommentieren.00Exhibition: Anhaltische Gemäldegalerie, Dessau, Germany (10.11.2017-07.01.2018).

Book Joachim Wtewael

Download or read book Joachim Wtewael written by Anne W. Lowenthal and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1995 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dutch history painter Joachim Wtewael is widely admired for his astonishing small paintings on copper. The Getty Museum's Mars and Venus Surprised by Vulcan is one of his finest works in this unusually demanding medium. Though only eight inches high, this Mannerist painting contains eleven figures in three different spaces, captured in a dramatically charged moment from the famous story told by Ovid in his Metamorphoses. The author's detailed analysis of Wtewael's painting also serves as a fine introduction to Dutch art of the Golden Age. Illustrated with seventy reproductions of paintings, drawings, etchings, and decorative objects, Anne W. Lowenthal's study ranges over the broad historical and cultural context in which Mars and Venus was created.

Book The Ashgate Research Companion to Dutch Art of the Seventeenth Century

Download or read book The Ashgate Research Companion to Dutch Art of the Seventeenth Century written by Wayne Franits and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the tremendous number of studies produced annually in the field of Dutch art over the last 30 years or so, and the strong contemporary market for works by Dutch masters of the period as well as the public's ongoing fascination with some of its most beloved painters, until now there has been no comprehensive study assessing the state of research in the field. As the first study of its kind, this book is a useful resource for scholars and advanced students of seventeenth-century Dutch art, and also serves as a springboard for further research. Its 19 chapters, divided into three sections and written by a team of internationally renowned art historians, address a wide variety of topics, ranging from those that might be considered "traditional" to others that have only drawn scholarly attention comparatively recently.

Book Pieter Bruegel   s Historical Imagination

Download or read book Pieter Bruegel s Historical Imagination written by Stephanie Porras and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of how to understand Bruegel’s art has cast the artist in various guises: as a moralizing satirist, comedic humanist, celebrator of vernacular traditions, and proto-ethnographer. Stephanie Porras reorients these apparently contradictory accounts, arguing that the debate about how to read Bruegel has obscured his pictures’ complex relation to time and history. Rather than viewing Bruegel’s art as simply illustrating the social realities of his day, Porras asserts that Bruegel was an artist deeply concerned with the past. In playing with the boundaries of the familiar and the foreign, history and the present, Bruegel’s images engaged with the fraught question of Netherlandish history in the years just prior to the Dutch Revolt, when imperial, religious, and national identities were increasingly drawn into tension. His pictorial style and his manipulation of traditional iconographies reveal the complex relations, unique to this moment, among classical antiquity, local history, and art history. An important reassessment of Renaissance attitudes toward history and of Renaissance humanism in the Low Countries, this volume traces the emergence of archaeological and anthropological practices in historical thinking, their intersections with artistic production, and the developing concept of local art history.

Book Rubens  Rembrandt  and Drawing in the Golden Age

Download or read book Rubens Rembrandt and Drawing in the Golden Age written by Victoria Sancho Lobis and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary history of Netherlandish drawing, focused on the training and skill of artists during the long 17th century With a lively narrative thread and thematic chapters, this book offers an exceptional introduction to Dutch and Flemish drawing during the long 17th century. Victoria Sancho Lobis discusses the many roles of drawing in artistic training, its function in the production of works in other media, and its emergence as a medium in its own right. Beautifully illustrated with some 120 drawings by artists including Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, Hendrick Goltzius, Gerrit von Honthorst, and Jacob De Gheyn, this book surveys current methodologies of studying these works and features a brief history of Dutch papermaking and watermarks as well as a glossary. Paying careful attention to materials and techniques, and informed by recent conservation treatments, Lobis explains how to look at these drawings as records of experimentation and skill, true windows into the artist’s mind.

Book Pieter de Hooch

    Book Details:
  • Author : Wayne E. Franits
  • Publisher : Getty Publications
  • Release : 2006
  • ISBN : 0892368446
  • Pages : 94 pages

Download or read book Pieter de Hooch written by Wayne E. Franits and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the hush of early morning, a dutiful mother butters bread for her young son, who patiently stands at her side. This splendid painting captures a trivial moment in a family's daily routine and makes it almost sacrosanct. A Woman Preparing Bread and Butter for a Boy was executed by the Dutch painter Pieter de Hooch (1629-1684) between 1661 and 1663. The J. Paul Getty Museum's canvas is one of the artist's many pictures depicting women and children engaged in daily activities. This book examines the painting in relation to the artist's life and work, exploring his stylistic development and his complex relationship to other painters in the Dutch Republic. The author places the subject matter of the painting within the broader context of seventeenth-century Dutch concepts of domesticity and child rearing and ties it to social and cultural developments in the Netherlands during the second half of the seventeenth century.

  • Release : 2000
  • ISBN : 9780140288414
  • Pages : 750 pages

Download or read book Rembrandt s Eyes written by Simon Schama and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Rembrandt, as for Shakespeare, all the world was indeed a stage, and he knew in exhaustive detail the tactics of its performance: the strutting and mincing, the wardrobe and face-paint, the full repertoire and gesture and gimace, the flutter of hands and the roll of the eyes, the belly-laugh and the half-stifled sob. He knew what it looked like to seduce, to intimidate, to wheedle and to console; to strike a pose or preach a sermon, to shake a fist or uncover a breast; and how to sin and how to atone. No artist had ever been so fascinated by the fashioning of personae, beginning with his own. No painter ever looked with such unsparing intelligence or such bottomless compassion at our entrances and our exits and the whole rowdy show in between.
