Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Print Connoisseur: A Quarterly Magazine for the Print Collector; October 1920 If there were any foundation of truth in the sup position that we can hold parley with the dead, nothing would prevent Frederick Reynolds from a brisk interchange of ideas with his great-uncle of pious memory, Sir Joshua Reynolds. That, how ever, being impossible, there is comfort in the thought that a direct lineal descendant of that great painter should have acquired his craft thoroughly in the Old World and have brought to America his youthful enthusiasm, faith and traditions, helping us to learn and appreciate a form of art so little prac tised in this country and so fecbly understood. That such emigrants enter the portals of America, seeking hospitality and citizenship, is a splendid token for the future, and a sure message that the arts and crafts' in this newer civilization will in time arise Phoenix like from the ashes of an illustrious past gaily to burgeon and broadly to grow. It is intended in this article to touch only briefly upon the mezzotint, but more especially in the rela tionship of this art with our subject, its distinguished exponent, Frederick Reynolds, who more than anyother practitioner on this side of the Atlantic is printing mezzotint plates of charm and significance. The preparation necessary to occupy such a posi tion has included many years of unflinching per sistency at the old Polytechnic in Regent St, London, an institution now as defunct as the dodo, still further years of toil and moil with mcqueen the well known art publishers and printers, constant association with different members of the Hester family and Samuel Josey, and the utilization of every spare hour for visiting the British Museum and studying the techni que and eccentricities of that band of engravers who between 1750 and 1830 made English mezzotint famous. It was principally due to his school-friend ship with young Josey and consequent visits to the Josey home that young Reynolds witnessed the process in its fullest development and dedicated his future to the task. This, however was nothing to the work and experimentation performed here in New York during a period of eleven fruitful years. And now at last he can claim that within the limit ations of a mezzotint plate no problem could possibly arise with which he would be unable to grapple. All these years are regarded as merely years of ex periment, including the plates shown here in repro duction. From now on commences for Reynolds his second period.

Download or read book Mariette and the Science of the Connoisseur in Eighteenth Century Europe written by Kristel Smentek and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated connoisseur, drawings collector, print dealer, book publisher and authority on the art of antiquity, Pierre-Jean Mariette (1694-1774) was a pivotal figure in the eighteenth-century European art world. Focusing on the trajectory of Mariette?s career, this book examines the material practices and social networks through which connoisseurs forged the idea of art as an object of empirical and historical analysis. Drawing on significant unpublished archival material as well as on histories of science, publishing, collecting and display, this book shows how Mariette and his colleagues? practices of classification and interpretation of the graphic arts gave rise to new conceptions of artistic authorship and to a history of art that transcended the biographies of individual artists. To follow Mariette?s career through the eighteenth century is to see that art was consolidated as a specialized category of intellectual inquiry-and that style emerged as its structuring analytic device-in the overlapping spaces of the collector?s cabinet, the connoisseur?s portfolio and the dealer?s shop.

Download or read book Kings and Connoisseurs written by Jonathan Brown and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid and exciting account of royal collectors, art dealers, connoisseurs, and the rise of old master paintings Old master paintings are among the most valuable and prestigious of the visual arts, and the best examples command the highest prices of any luxury commodity. In Kings and Connoisseurs, Jonathan Brown tells the story of how painting rose to this exalted status. The transformation of painting from an inexpensive to a costly art form reached a crucial stage in the royal courts of Europe in the seventeenth century, where rulers and aristocrats assembled huge collections, often in short periods of time. By comparing collecting and collectors at these courts, Brown explains the formation of new attitudes toward pictures, as well as the mechanisms that supported the enterprise of collecting, including the emergence of the art dealer, the development of connoisseurship, and the publication of sumptuous picture books of various collections. The result is an exciting narrative of greed and passion, played out against a background of international politics and intrigue.
