Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art Treasures of London Painting Although many handbooks to the public art galleries of London have been published during the last few years, no concise guide has yet appeared which displays at a glance their vast but scattered wealth. It is impossible for the art-lover to discover the whereabouts of all the existing examples of any particular school or master in London without the loss of much time. And unless he is able to collate a score of catalogues (some out of print and many out of date) the task is almost hopeless. This volume consists of three parts: (I.) Plans of the galleries with general information. (II) A chronological list of artists arranged according to the order of their schools, including classified lists of all the pictures representing their works to be seen within the London area. The brief biographical notes are in no sense intended to be exhaustive, but will be found useful as a rapid memory aid. (III.) A complete index to the names of the artists. The visitor or student who wishes to examine all the examples illustrative of a particular school will turn to that School in Section II., and will there find every picture placed as far as possible in chronological order, with a reference to its gallery and the room in which it is hung. If he wishes to see the works of one artist, a reference to the Index will give the page in the Schools. When possible the pictures have been dated, and if the critics have differed with regard to the attributions attention is drawn to their suggested amendations. The University Galleries at Oxford and Cambridge cannot be said to form part of the metropolitan area, but they are so close to London in every way that to omit them would have been an error. At first it was intended that oil-paintings only should be included, but, as this rule would have excluded one of the chief glories of the British School, water-colour drawings have been added, together with a few chalk and pencil drawings (except in the foreign schools), miniatures, early mosaics, and several pieces of tapestry. Although these items are not exhaustively catalogued, I believe the references include almost everything of value. In conclusion, I only hope that some art-loving and public-spirited millionaire will, after a study of this volume, remove some of the obvious deficiencies amongst the Art Treasures of London.

Download or read book The Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 1857 written by ElizabethA. Pergam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overdue study of a groundbreaking event, this is the first book-length examination of the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 1857. Intended to rehabilitate Manchester's image at a heady time of economic prosperity, the Exhibition became a touchstone for aesthetic, social, and economic issues of the mid-nineteenth century. Reverberations of this moment can be followed to the present day in the discipline of art history and its practice in public museums of Europe and America. Highlighting the tension between art and commerce, philanthropy and profit, the book examines the Exhibition's organization and the presentation of the works of art in the purpose-built Art Treasures Palace. Pergam places the Exhibition in the context of contemporary debates about museum architecture and display. With an analysis of the reception of both "Ancient" and "Modern" paintings, the book questions the function of exhibitions in the construction of an art historical canon. The book also provides an essential reference tool: a compiled list of all of the paintings exhibited in 1857 that are now in public collections throughout the world, with an analysis of the collecting trends manifest in their provenance.

Download or read book British and Irish Paintings in Public Collections written by Christopher Wright and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 950 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets a new standard as a work of reference. It covers British and Irish art in public collections from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, and it encompasses nearly 9,000 painters and 90,000 paintings in more than 1,700 separate collections. The book includes as well pictures that are now lost, some as a consequence of the Second World War and others because of de-accessioning, mostly from 1950 to about 1975 when Victorian art was out of fashion. By listing many tens of thousands of previously unpublished works, including around 13,000 which do not yet have any form of attribution, this book becomes a unique and indispensable work of reference, one that will transform the study of British and Irish painting.
Download or read book Class Gender and Sexuality in Thomas Gainsborough s Blue Boy written by Valerie Hedquist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reception of Thomas Gainsborough’s Blue Boy from its origins to its appearances in contemporary visual culture reveals how its popularity was achieved and maintained by diverse audiences and in varied venues. Performative manifestations resulted in contradictory characterizations of the painted youth as an aristocrat or a "regular fellow," as masculine or feminine, or as heterosexual or gay. In private and public spaces where viewers saw the actual painting and where living and rendered replicas circulated, Gainsborough’s painting was often the centerpiece where dominant and subordinate classes met, gender identities were enacted, and sexuality was implicitly or overtly expressed.
