Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Italian Masters Like all revolutions, this became proscriptive - the Old Mas ters became the derision of every aspirant, and naturalism the only art. This also was excess, and is followed by reaction. Na ture will not teach art, and the exclusive pursuit of her indications can only lead to a simulacrum of art, in which the vital spirit of it can by no chance enter. Art is the expression of all the spiritual faculties of man, passion for beauty, aspiration of the imagination, the manifestation of the individual in his inmost nature. For this nature can only furnish an alphabet, types whose meaning only sympathy can unfold, and which become the language of art. The sense of the insufficiency of the so-called naturalistic art has brought those who craved the real art-influence to look back to the earlier schools, and the result has been that we have found again the springs of art and the true meaning of the desecrated word Ideal, the ivisible expression of which is the mission of art, z'. E., the individual conception of beauty taken in its largest sense, as what is most desirable and attractive in conceivable form - not to be confounded with the actual, and probably-never existing in nature. The Italian Renaissance was in no wise a re turn to nature as model, but a reawakening of the spiritual activity of the race after a torpor of ages, and which demanded the means of expression of itself. As the religious passion was dominant in that phase of Italian development, the religious motive was that which caught the inspiration; but this was incidental - the essen tial fact was that the art was not an appeal to nature but a form of poetic speech, the telling of a spiritual truth, not the rela tion of a natural phenomenon or fact. It was the poet, not the scientist, that appeared. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art Studies, the Old Masters of Italy, Painting The proper aim of a work of this character is so interwoven with the entire text that the author, in a preface, has little else to say than to request those who feel a real interest in art to patiently keep him company to the end. Those who do not should st0p here. All or nothing is better in this instance. For, with less than a thorough perusal cavil who may afterwards - both the topic and author may be misinterpreted. Yet, in the Epic struggle of Life going on in America, resolving rough and serious problems of all sorts, in which struggle our population seem to be ever striving to catch up with something that as constantly eludes their grasp, how can one hope to persuade the people to borrow even a few moments from their great match with Time, to give heed to the lessons and enjoyments of art? The author, while in America, finds himself, voluntarily or not, borne rapidly along by the great tide of human action, and also feels the thrill of the eager pursuit after that practical and material ideal of success which gives strength to our.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reviews and Appreciations of Some Old Italian Masters I do not flatter myself that many English readers have hunted through the back pages of the Gazette des Beaux Arts for my account of the Leonardo Cartoon in the Diploma Gallery at Burlington House indeed what I published fifteen years ago is probably quite unknown to them. But as it still remains the only serious attempt to deal fully with one of England's greatest art treasures, I feel that an English appreciation may be welcome. And in view of the ever-increasing interest taken in Leonardo da Vinci I have thought well to reprint other and more recent articles about him that have appeared in the pages of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue: Old Masters of the Italian School, Villa Doccia, Fiesole Of these, that of Florence is the best known; partly because the best advertised by the Florentine, Vasari, and partly because of the number and qual ity of the still surviving works by Giotto, and the Giottesque. Of the school of Siena, also, much of high quality and interest is still extant, which is now receiving its just meed of praise and study. The other schools, on the contrary, are little known, and little studied. This is to be regretted, for in the following century, the Quattrocento, they were rendered illustrious by painters whose artistic antecedents, if known, would shed a light on the early evolution of the art-cycle to which they belong, for they generally received their artistic education in their native towns; their work, therefore, is the outcome of local tradition and practice, modified and developed by the Zeitgeist, and by the temperament and capacity of the individual. It is scientifically and psychologically important, therefore, to know the quality and niveau of the artistic culture out of which the art of the Renais sance sprang. Unfortunately the necessary material is generally lacking. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pupil of Raphael Moxghen, for art-studies, in order to give an idea, so far as composition and general character are concerned, of the progress of art during several centuries in Italy. Those, therefore, who cherish the old masters, will have an opportunity, not only of studying the pictures themselves, but of taking away with them very carefully prepared outlines, with partial shadings, of many of the most interesting specimens. It should be borne in mind, that the larger number of these paintings were old before America was discovered; and necessuily they bear the mks of time. The newness and freshness of a modem painting would be sadly out of keeping on an ancient picture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collection of Paintings by Old Masters of All Schools: Season 1912-1913 Intense Vitality - love for Life - ethically creates love for everything artistic. The one who loves Life loves Art, as the sublime expres sion of ever-pulsating human feeling. Two Elements invisible and inexplainable as Elec tricity, form Life, Emotion and Feeling, and in Art combined to these two, Quality and Individuality. It is difficult to say what is meant by Quality, the nearest explanation is Culture and Tradition. A masterpiece is only the one which with irresistible force influences our Imagination and mystically creates in us Emotion. The Primitive Painters were the Children of Byzantine Art and found the earliest and most glorious expression in the fire and fervor of Giotto. The Quatro Centro gave us Botticelli, whose Art resembled the perfume filled early Spring prefacing the glorious Summer of Italian Art, with its great creative Masters and its immortal Art of the Christian Era. High Renaissance Art, the next Evolution, gave us Raphael, Michaelangelo and the great Colorists Titian. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
