Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the History of Painting, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Age of Constantine the Great to the Present Time IT is the Author's wish to supply, by means of the present hand-book, a want which he himself sen sibly experienced when he first endeavoured to ac quire a general knowledge of the early history and pro gress of the Art of Painting. He found no short and easily-intelligible guide, pointing out to the unlearned the leading styles of Art, and serving as an introduc tion to the researches of our most recent writers. The book now submitted to the indulgence of the con noisseur first consisted only of notes compiled for private study; these were augmented and corrected by the inspection of the most important specimens of Art, and the whole was finally arranged with a due regard to chronological order. The work makes no pretension to originality; its sole object, as already stated, is, to form an introduction to the more valu able productions in the literature of Art. The Author only hopes he may have succeeded in fulfilling the most obvious requisites for this end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Painting, Vol. 1 of 2: The Italian Schools; Based on the Handbook of Kugler Signor Morelli's work caused a profound sensation especially in Germany, Where the study of Art is pursued with greater ardour, and upon more scientific principles, than in any other country. The novelty of his opinions, his method of analysis, and the unsparing way in which he destroyed the reputation of many famous pictures, and exposed the falsity of many time-honoured traditions in the history of painting, raised, at first, a storm of protests. But his Views have now, for the most part, been accepted, and have even led to extensive changes in the naming and classing of pictures in the principal German galleries; whilst in England and elsewhere his method of investigation has been approved and adopted by the ablest writers on Art. In his own country he has founded a school of criticism, and has had many distinguished followers.2i. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

RESTORATION AND SECOND DECLINE. MASTERS OF THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES. INTRODUCTION. 1 CV. The greatest Italian painters flourish'ed at a period when the Papacy, the external representative authority of the Church, had attained the height of its worldly power, and when the Popes had assumed an important position among temporal princes. But this singular state of things had no sooner taken effect, than the contradiction which it involved necessarily became evident, and was in fact the cause of its fall. The secularization of the Papacy called forth reformations for Italy as well as for the North, which, after long struggles, were at last brought about. But the interval which preceded reformation and subsequent restoration had naturally a most ruinous effect on Art: the inward hold of a simple faith on the spiritual dignity of Art was lost, and was superseded by manner and affectation. In addition to this, various political troubles had taken place, the effects of which rapidly reduced the Roman and Florentine schools to that state of degeneracy which we have before had occasion to notice. The Venetian school alone, under the more favourable circumstances already alluded to, maintained its greatness and importance for a longer period. Toward the end of the sixteenth century these 2 political ferments had subsided. In Italy a new and powerful papacy had been established, which sought to awaken the spiritual tendencies in their ancient dignity, and to breathe a new life into Art. But it was a period of restoration for Art as well as Politics; the age of free creative genius, restrained only by its own laws, was gone. The greater number of artists of this time (the end 3 of the sixteenth and first half of the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Painting, Vol. 1 of 2: German, Flemish, and Dutch Schools Thirteen years have elapsed Dr. Waagen wrote the new edition of 'Kugler,' of which the present is a revised and corrected impression. Dr. Waagen at that time explained his reasons for rejecting a great part of Kugler's work, stating that he had enlarged the text in respect of the later Dutch and Flemish schools, and extended his critical notices to artists who were at once painters and engravers. A minute account of the sources open to the historical inquirer in relation to art in Germany and the Low Countries concluded this portion of the learned Doctor's preface. Art criticism has done a great deal since 1860 to increase our knowledge of the lives of painters, and much that was then acceptable as historical and true is now looked upon as fabulous or doubtful. I may venture to affirm that no one at the present day would attempt to class Dierick Bouts, or Cristus, or Justus amongst the pupils of Hubert van Eyck; nor would it occur to any person to admit the existence of Roger vander Weyden the younger, or to acknowledge as productions of the last Holbein such works as are found to date before 1515. This classification and these statements we find in Dr. Waagen's text; and in citing them as proofs of the necessity for revising that text, I do not by any means exhaust the subject. An attentive reader will observe that I discard Dr. Waagen's theory of a Teutonic School, whilst I endeavour to throw new light on the origin of painting in the Netherlands. The influence of sculpture-tinting is prominently brought forward; and examples are given of early art on walls and portable shrines.

Download or read book Color and Light written by James Gurney and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike many other art books only give recipes for mixing colors or describe step-by-step painting techniques, *Color and Light* answers the questions that realist painters continually ask, such as: "What happens with sky colors at sunset?", "How do colors change with distance?", and "What makes a form look three-dimensional?" Author James Gurney draws on his experience as a plain-air painter and science illustrator to share a wealth of information about the realist painter's most fundamental tools: color and light. He bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge for traditional and digital artists of all levels of experience.
