Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Renaissance and Modern Art Which keeps closest in touch with the point of view which recognizes Renaissance Italy as the main source of modern culture, while Ranke's histories, especially his History of the Popes and his History of England, are the best general reference for the sixteenth and seventeenth cen turies at large. Fiske's Discovery of America, and Campbell's Puritan in Holland, England, and America, are the books best calculated to bring our own American history into line with that of continental Europe. I have mentioned these various books from the conviction that the only true philosophy of modern history is that which moves from the Renaissance as its elementary basis, that the study Of Renaissance art is the best approach to Renaissance history, and that the best Supplementary reading is that of the historians whose point of view is the largest and most comprehensive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of the Renaissance Lorenzo Valla in proclaiming the perfections of the Latin language: 'the glory of Latinity was allowed to decay in rust and mould. And many, indeed, and varied are the opinions of wise men on how'this happened. I neither accept nor reject any of these, daring only to declare soberly that those arts which are most closely related to the liberal arts, the arts of painting, sculpture, modelling, and archi tecture, had degenerated for so long and so greatly and had almost: died with letters themselves, and that in this age they have been) aroused and come to life again, so greatly increased is the number of good artists and men of letters who now ourish. Thus, the Renaissance was thought of both as a revival of good Latin literature and of the figurative arts. One reason for, the apparently overwhelm ing importance which the men of the age attached to good Latinity was, of course, the fact that it was the common tongue of all educated men - a tiny proportion of the population in any country; another, less obvious, reason was the fact that the new European states were coming into existence; some, like France and England, with central ized monarchies, and others, like most of the Italian states, indepen dent merchant communities. These states needed a professional administrative class, well grounded in Roman Law, which was still a living thing. They were inevitably exponents of the new, lay, _ learning, which, like the professional studies of the clergy, was based on Latin.

Download or read book History of Art Vol 3 written by Elie Faure and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Art, Vol. 3: Renaissance Art The invention of printing did not, as Victor Hugo said, kill the architecture of the ogive. At most it hastened its death Slightly. When Gutenberg invented the press, Masaccio and the van Eycks had for ten or fifteen years been pointing out to the painters their new path, and in France all the churches which were being built were SO strained in their effect that the architec tural elements were rushing to dissociation. Nicolas Froment, J ehan Foucquet, and Enguerrand Charonton were beginning to paint. The invention of printing was due to the same causes as was the decadence of the art that built the edifices in which the whole crowd had a Share. The decomposition of architectural unity cor responded with the work of analysis which was begin ning to divide the social body, and the liberation of the arts and sciences and the irresistible and sudden rise of sculpture, painting, music, literature, and printing announced the substitution of individual research for the great Spontaneous creation in which the newly aroused and magnificent energy of the peoples had for two or three hundred years been summarizing their needs.

Download or read book The Renaissance of Sculpture in Belgium Classic Reprint written by Olivier Georges Destrée and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Renaissance of Sculpture in Belgium Summary of that history, in which I shall try to Show that from'the begin ning of the twelfth century, sculpture has been cultivated among us with no less success and continuity than painting, and that not'only sculptors, but schools of sculpture, have followed one another in regular succession from the twelfth century to the present day. The history of painting in the Netherlands is familiar to every lover of art, but that of its sculpture is far more obscure. The works of our sculptors have been either scattered throughout the four quarters of Europe, or hidden In the churches of obscure little Walloon or Flemish Villages unknown to Murray and Baedeker, which even tourists who are interested in art pass by without any suspicion of the masterpieces they conceal. But as the student examines the sculpture of the Netherlands in the thirteenth, ' fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries, he is more and more struck by its development and its importance he is gradually led to understand how contemporary Belgian sculptors, guided by one or two powerful individualities, have been able to bring about so brilliant a Renaissance. These men appear as the direct heirs and true posterity of those famous Walloon and Flemish artists for whose services foreign Courts competed in the fifteenth century, and who bequeathed to their descendants - descendants affiliated to them through the Flemish sculptors of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries - together with the craft itself, much of that technical mastery which comes from immemorial practice. This intuitive power seems in some measure to result from the mere fact of a long artistic lineage, and of birth in a country where an art has been uninterruptedly practised.

Written for the most part as lectures, they have the inherent faults of such work - faults that all revision could not have wholly eradicated had such revi sion, indeed, been deemed advisable. Nor does he claim any particular originality in material or method of treatment; to do so in the face of the work of more competent and scholarly writers, to whom he owes a debt quite beyond repay ment, would be manifest supererogation. He will have sufiiciently attained his object, how ever, if he has put in a more or less popular and accessible form facts about certain men and movements that have had transcendent influence upon the art and culture of the modern times.

Download or read book Modern Tendencies in Sculpture Classic Reprint written by Lorado Taft and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Tendencies in Sculpture The most ancient and enduring of the arts has, like all things human, its fashions. Styles come and go in the sculptor's studio as in the millinery shops. Someone has said of literature: Each period must have its weed like crop in order that a few memorable products may triumphantly survive the moment which gives them birth. This is not less true of the other forms of expression. In the story of France, Gothic art succeeded the Romanesque and gave way in due course before the insinuating appeal of the Italian Renaissance. This new gift of the South, transplanted to Gallic soil, developed unforeseen qualities Of adaptability and delighted the world with its charm, only to fade in turn before Italy's third invasion, that wave of classicism which, in spite of Houdon, left the banner of Canova fluttering over every stronghold. The mighty Rude, halting ever, between two opin ions but producing a national masterpiece, was followed by his fiery disciple, Carpeaux, who set all the new monu ments of Paris awhirl. Against this increasing agitation, this gathering of pedestaled dervishes, the serene sculpture Of Paul Dubois and Chapu made in vain its dignified protest; henceforth it was a mad race to see who could be the most startling and vehement.
