Book excerpt: Excerpt from Histoire de l'Art dans l'Antiquite, Vol. 1: Egypte, Assyrie, Perse, Asie Mineure, Grece, Etrurie, Rome L'embarras est donc grand pour ceux qui, sans avoir le loisir d'en trer dans le detail, desirent pourtant se representer le monde ancien dans toute la diversite de ses aspects. On leur raconte les revolutions, les guerres, les conquetes, les successions des princes; on leur explique le mecanisme des institutions politiques et civiles; on leur expose meme l'histoire litteraire, car la litterature dit-on, est l'expres sion de la societe Rien de mieux; mais on n'a pas l'air de soupconner cette autre verite, que l'art n'est pas une expression moins fidele et moins interessante des sentiments, des idees et des gouts qui dominent chez un peuple, a tel ou tel moment de sa vie. Quelques breves men tions d'oeuvres et de noms, quelques notions sommaires, qui n'ont meme pas le merite de la precision, voila tout ce que donnent sur cette matiere les histoires generales, et ce que celles - ci refusent a la curio site, ou le trouver? Des histoires de la litterature grecque et de la romaine, l'europe savante en possede plusieurs, qui se recommandent a differents titres; ce sont des livres ecrits avec chaleur et talent comme l'ouvrage malheureusement inacheve d'ottfried Muller; ce sont des manuels excellents et riches de faits, comme ceux de Bernhardy, de Baehr et de Teuffel; mais existe-t-il, en Angleterre, en France ou en Allemagne, un seul ouvrage qui retrace, avec un detail suffisant, toute l'histoire de l'art antique, qui le suive, dans ses progres et ses transformations, depuis les origines jusqu'a la decadence finale, jus qu'au temps ou le christianisme et l'invasion des barbares achevent de dissoudre le monde ancien et preparent la naissance du monde moderne, d'une societe nouvelle et d'un art nouveau?

Download or read book Painting Antiquity written by Stephanie Moser and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by newly discovered antiquities of the ancient world exhibited in the museums of Europe and celebrated in the illustrated press of the day, the leading British history painters Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Sir Edward Poynter and Edwin Long created a striking body of artworks in which archaeology was a prime focus. Of the growing community of historicist and classicist painters in mid-nineteenth century Britain, these artists expressed a passion for archaeological detail, and their aesthetic engagement with ancient material culture played a key role in fostering the enthusiasm for antiquity with wider audiences. Painting Antiquity explores the archaeological dimension of their paintings in detail, addressing how the relationship these artists had with ancient objects represented a distinctive and important development in the cultural reception of the past. The book also considers the inspiration for the movement defined as "archaeological genre painting," the artistic and historic context for this new style, the archaeological sources upon which the artworks were based, and the critical reception of the paintings in the world of Victorian art criticism. Alongside extensive visual evidence, rendered here in both striking color and black-and-white imagery, Stephanie Moser shows how this artistic practice influenced our understanding of ancient Egypt. Further, she argues that these paintings affected the development of archaeology as a discipline, revealing how the painters had an intense engagement with archaeology, representing artefacts in extraordinary detail and promoting the use of ancient material culture according to an aesthetic agenda. The issues raised by placing importance on concepts of beauty and decoration, over values such as rarity, function, or historical use continue to divide archaeologists and art historians in the present day. Ultimately, by demonstrating how the artistic dialogue with antiquity contributed to defining it, Painting Antiquity sheds important new light on the two-way exchanges between visual representations of the past and knowledge formation.

Download or read book Histoire de l art dans l Antiquit written by Johann Joachim Winckelmann and published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche. This book was released on 2005 with total page 873 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avant Winckelmann (1717-1768), étudier l'art signifiait soit écrire la biographie d'un artiste, soit s'intéresser au sujet des œuvres dans une perspective historique ou littéraire. À partir de Winckelmann, et en particulier de l'Histoire de l'art dans l'Antiquité, parler d'art veut dire partir des œuvres dans leur matérialité et définir des styles, selon une séquence chronologique intimement liée à l'histoire des civilisations. La leçon ne vaudra pas que pour l'art antique, mais pour toutes les périodes. Ce livre, publié pour la première fois à Dresde en 1764, opéra une révolution dont nous sommes encore aujourd'hui les héritiers. Par la façon qu'il eut de pénétrer l'esprit des Anciens, notamment des Grecs, il bouleversa la conception des arts en général, poésie et littérature comprises. Goethe fut un des premiers à en prendre conscience et à reconnaître sa dette à l'égard des théories de Winckelmann. Le néo-classicisme de la fin du XVIIIe siècle et du début du XIXe est issu, pour une bonne part, des idées de Winckelmann sur l'art antique. Ce texte fondateur de l'histoire de l'art est donné ici dans une traduction nouvelle. Le volume est illustré avec la plupart des œuvres que Winckelmann commente en détail.

Download or read book Problems of Style written by Alois Riegl and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written at the height of the arts and crafts movement in fin-de-siecle Vienna, Alois Riegl's Stilfragen represented a turning point in defining art and understanding the sources of its inspiration. Demonstrating an uninterrupted continunity in the history of ornament from the ancient Egyptian through the Islamic period, Riegl argued that the creative urge manifests itself in both "great art" and the most humble artifact, and that change is an inherent part of style. This new translation, which renders Riegl's seminal work in contemporary, readable prose, allows for a fresh reexamination of his thought in light of current revisionist debate. His discovery of infinite variation in the restatement of several decorative motifs--the palmette, rosette, tendril--led Riegl to believe that art is completely independent from exterior conditions and is beyond individual volition. This thinking laid the groundwork for his famous concept of Kunstwollen, or artistic intention. "Something that the translation will, I hope, convey, is the passion invsted in Riegl's enterprise. We are made to feel that the issues he discussed mattered vitally to him; it was the very nature of art and its relation to human life that were at stake, art as an absolute necessity." --From the preface of Henri Zerner Alois Reigl (1858-1905) was Curator of Textiles at the Museum of Art and Industry in Vienna during most of his career and wrote many influential works on the history of art, including Spatromische Kunstgeschichte.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Egyptian Old Kingdom (c. 2650-2150 BC) was an era of extraordinary artistic achievement-the period that gave us the Sphinx and the pyramids as well as a rich legacy of private tombs, wall paintings, reliefs, statuary, jewelry, and decorative arts. This book, the companion volume to a major traveling exhibition organized by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Louvre in Paris, showcases the most impressive assemblage of Egyptian art and artifacts since the Tutankhamun exhibition of the late 1970s. Scholarly essays and 650 illustrations bring to life a remarkable panoply of Old Kingdom objects-temple and tomb reliefs, striking gold jewelry, handsome stone vessels, monumental statues, stelae, and exquisite statuettes. Together, text and images create a stunning tribute to the world of the Pharaohs"--Publisher's description.
