Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gallery of British Artists, Vol. 2 of 4: From the Days of Hogarth to the Present Time, or Series of 288 Engravings of Their Most Approved Productions Hunter-rs of England, daughter of Charles I and sister of Charles II and James II, was married to Philip, duke of Or leans, brother of Louis XIV. The beauty and accomplish ments of this princess, her premature and mysterious death, and the sublime display of eloquence which that tragical event elicited from Bossuet, are universally known. In 1670, the French court being at Dunkirk, the duchess paid her brother a visit; to which step, besides her natural affection, she was incited by many courtly artifices. Accordingly, on the 12th of May, they met at Dover, where they passed ten days in mirth and festivity. Henrietta was accompanied by several ladies of distinction, one of whom, Louise de Querouaille, made a deep impression on the heart of the British monarch, who, in viti 11g her to London, and creating her duchess of Portsmouth, continued under the influence of the wily enchantress nearly all the rest of his life. Charles's meeting with his sister, from its consequences, an event of considerable importance, was properly selected as one of the embellishments to Bowyer's superb edition of the His tory of England. The artist has skilfully performed his allot cd task, and by judiciously making Mademoiselle de Que rouaille's introduction to the King the principal action, has enhanced both the historical and pictorial interest of his per formance it has been cleverly engraved by William Bromley.

Download or read book Thomas Cole s Journey written by Elizabeth Mankin Kornhauser and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Cole (1801–1848) is celebrated as the greatest American landscape artist of his generation. Though previous scholarship has emphasized the American aspects of his formation and identity, never before has the British-born artist been presented as an international figure, in direct dialogue with the major landscape painters of the age. Thomas Cole’s Journey emphasizes the artist’s travels in England and Italy from 1829 to 1832 and his crucial interactions with such painters as Turner and Constable. For the first time, it explores the artist’s most renowned paintings, The Oxbow (1836) and The Course of Empire cycle (1834–36), as the culmination of his European experiences and of his abiding passion for the American wilderness. The four essays in this lavishly illustrated catalogue examine how Cole’s first-hand knowledge of the British industrial revolution and his study of the Roman Empire positioned him to create works that offer a distinctive, even dissident, response to the economic and political rise of the United States, the ecological and economic changes then underway, and the dangers that faced the young nation. A detailed chronology of Cole’s life, focusing on his European tour, retraces the artist’s travels as documented in his journals, letters, and sketchbooks, providing new insight into his encounters and observations. With discussions of over seventy works by Cole, as well as by the artists he admired and influenced, this book allows us to view his work in relation to his European antecedents and competitors, demonstrating his major contribution to the history of Western art.

This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 950 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets a new standard as a work of reference. It covers British and Irish art in public collections from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, and it encompasses nearly 9,000 painters and 90,000 paintings in more than 1,700 separate collections. The book includes as well pictures that are now lost, some as a consequence of the Second World War and others because of de-accessioning, mostly from 1950 to about 1975 when Victorian art was out of fashion. By listing many tens of thousands of previously unpublished works, including around 13,000 which do not yet have any form of attribution, this book becomes a unique and indispensable work of reference, one that will transform the study of British and Irish painting.
