Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful volume that brings to light the forgotten Le Nain brothers, a trio of 17th-century French master painters who specialized in portraiture, religious subjects, and scenes of everyday peasant life In France in the 17th century, the brothers Antoine (c. 1598-1648), Louis (c. 1600/1605-1648), and Mathieu (1607-1677) Le Nain painted images of everyday life for which they became posthumously famous. They are celebrated for their depictions of middle-class leisure activities, and particularly for their representations of peasant families, who gaze out at the viewer. The uncompromising naturalism of these compositions, along with their oddly suspended action, imparts a sense of dignity to their subjects. Featuring more than sixty paintings highlighting the artists' full range of production, including altarpieces, private devotional paintings, portraits, and the poignant images of peasants for which the brothers are best known, this generously illustrated volume presents new research concerning the authorship, dating, and meaning of the works by well-known scholars in the field. Also groundbreaking are the results of a technical study of the paintings, which constitutes a major contribution to the scholarship on the Le Nain brothers.

Download or read book French Painting in the Golden Age written by Christopher Allen and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 17th century has always been considered the golden age - the grand siècle - of French culture. The reigns of Louis XIII and Louis XIV witnessed an unprecedented flowering of literature and philosophy, of music, architecture and art. The poetic history painting of Poussin, the landscapes of Claude Lorrain, the portraits of Philippe de Champaigne, and the celebratory art of Le Brun at the court of Louis XIV at Versailles were among its greatest achievements. Yet the subject-matter and formal conventions most prized at the time can make it difficult for the modern viewer to appreciate the artists’ aims and to judge success or failure. Thanks to new research, it is now possible to set the major figures within the framework of the concerns and theoretical debates of the grand siècle itself. Christopher Allen, one of the few authorities on the subject outside the French-speaking world, brilliantly enables us to see beyond mere form to the meanings the artists intended us to enjoy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here approximately two hundred works by French and Spanish artists chart the development of this cultural influence and map a fascinating shift in the paradigm of painting, from Idealism to Realism, from Italy to Spain, from Renaissance to Baroque. Above all, these images demonstrate how direct contact with Spanish painting fired the imagination of nineteenth-century French artists and brought about the triumph of Realism in the 1860s, and with it a foundation for modern art."--BOOK JACKET.

CHAPTER III THE REALISTS AND THE CHARACTERISTS The realist ideas derived from the influence of Delacroix.--Gust iw Courbst anJ the movement of protest against the ideas of Ingres and the School.--Edouard Manet and the transformation of realism into the investigation of modern character.--The idea of the beauty of expression begins to oppose that of the beaulv of form.--Manet's influence creates the style of modern illustration, after Daumier, Gavarni and Guys.--Degas and characterism.--Raffaelli, Forain.--Bastien-Lepage and minute realism.--The modern painters: Roll, Ribot, Lautrec, etc. OU take the lead in the decrepitude of your art," wrote Baude laire to Manet. This decrepitude the great poet applied to the academic style of Ingres's pupils, while they in turn applied it to the romantic and realistic daring of Delacroix's pupils. Ingres and Delacroix, reconciled to-day in our admiration, were then the protagonists of that old and eternal struggle between the ancient and the modern, the adherents of Gluck and of Piccini. The genius of the one was used as a pretext for denying that of the other, with all the injustice inherent in periods of feverish artistic activity. However, one of the first consequences of Delacroix was the establishment, together with romanticism, of a recrudescence of realism. A historical and orientalist painter, a painter of modern tragedy, Delacroix was also, quite apart from his gifts as decorator and lyricist, an intense realist, and, like all the greatest artists, gave expression to the heroism and the dramatic side of broad, but scrupulous observation of truth. While certain painters cling to his romanticism and to his composition, others cling particularly to his bold qualities of truthfulness, and...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Using words and works of both pupils and masters of the French Academy of Beaux-Arts, this fascinating book provides a wealth of information about the environment and studio practices of French official art from 1830 to 1890. Albert Boime describes the training of new pupils in the Academic ateliers, from the time they began and were set to copy engravings and casts to their copying of the old masters in the Louvre to their work before the live model and landscape painting out-of-doors. Boime's account includes not only a history of the transition from guild-controlled arts sanctioned by the church to an academic system sponsored by the state but also a reassessment of the positive role played by the Academy's teaching program in the evolution of the independent movements of the nineteenth century"--Publisher's description.
