Download or read book The Passions of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux written by Draper, James David and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2014 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (1827-1875) was an extraordinarily gifted sculptor, the greatest in 19th-century France before Rodin, and embodied the emotionally charged artistic climate of his era ... Carpeaux's wrenching representations of human forms, shown in beautiful color details and illustrations, echo his turbulent personal life, fraught with episodes of violence and fatal illness. The book covers the entire span of Carpeaux's career, and includes the masterpiece Ugolino and His Sons, newly discovered drawings, and a number of rarely seen or studied works. Previously unpublished letters between Carpeaux and his family and friends, a wealth of archival material, and the most detailed chronology of the artist's life ever published."--Yale University Press website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between sculpture and pedestal is at the intersection of a number of art-historical disciplines, ranging from the history of design, architecture, and urbanism to museum studies, yet because of its supporting role it has remained a largely neglected and unstudied field.

Book Synopsis Revolutionary Paris and the Market for Netherlandish Art by : Darius A. Spieth
Download or read book Revolutionary Paris and the Market for Netherlandish Art written by Darius A. Spieth and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish paintings were aesthetic, intellectual, and economic touchstones in the Parisian art world of the Revolutionary era, but their importance within this framework, while frequently acknowledged, never attracted much subsequent attention. Darius A. Spieth’s inquiry into Revolutionary Paris and the Market for Netherlandish Art reveals the dominance of “Golden Age” pictures in the artistic discourse and sales transactions before, during, and after the French Revolution. A broadly based statistical investigation, undertaken as part of this study, shows that the upheaval reduced prices for Netherlandish paintings by about 55% compared to the Old Regime, and that it took until after the July Revolution of 1830 for art prices to return where they stood before 1789.
Book Synopsis Histoire de l'art du XIXe siècle (1848-1914) by : Claire Barbillon

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Le présent volume rassemble les contributions du colloque international Histoire de l'art du X1Xe siècle (1848-1914). Bilans et perspectives qui s'est tenu à l'École du Louvre, au musée d'Orsay et à l'Institut national d'histoire de l'art à l'occasion des vingt ans du musée d'Orsay. Ces XXIes Rencontres de l'École du Louvre, organisées en dix sessions, s'intéressant à des questions transversales mais traitant aussi des différents domaines de la production artistique, ont réuni soixante-seize contributeurs, issus du monde des musées comme de celui des universités, et se sont déroulées devant quelque six cents auditeurs. Douze nationalités de chercheurs étaient représentées. Ce colloque a été l'occasion de créer, en partenariat avec l'Institut national d'histoire de l'art, un Forum des jeunes chercheurs, manifestation originale qui trouve désormais sa place dans tous les colloques organisés par l'École du Louvre. Cette programmation particulière offre la possibilité à des élèves de 3e cycle, des doctorants ou jeunes docteurs de croiser leurs premières recherches avec celles de personnes plus confirmées. Ce colloque a été l'occasion d'esquisser un bilan, ou du moins de brosser un tableau de l'évolution des études dix-neuviémistes durant ces vingt dernières années, de souligner l'émergence de thématiques, de questions et de méthodes nouvelles. Les lecteurs trouveront dans ces actes à la fois des confirmations, mais aussi des interrogations, l'ouverture de nouveaux champs, auxquels le musée d'Orsay a contribué par ses choix d'accrochage, d'expositions et de manifestations."--P.

Book Synopsis Statuettes of the Art Deco Period by : Alberto Shayo
Download or read book Statuettes of the Art Deco Period written by Alberto Shayo and published by Antique Collector's Club. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a vast world one enters when writing on the statuettes of the Art Deco era: both in terms of the number of artists that contributed to it, and the number of figures they created. This book studies the influences that shaped these artists' work - namely, the growth of the Ballets Russes under the aegis of Sergei Diaghilev; the fascination in all things Egyptian that followed the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1924; and the Music Hall, with all of its venues, its stars and its glamor. Paris was a magnet for aspiring artists. An unrivaled destination for free-spending tourists, its popularity dwelt in the city's inexpensiveness, considering the absence of the dollar and the falling value of the franc. A thorough look at its artists and their work can only emerge from long investigation.

Book Synopsis The Façade Reliefs of Orvieto Cathedral by : Anita Fiderer Moskowitz
Download or read book The Façade Reliefs of Orvieto Cathedral written by Anita Fiderer Moskowitz and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents in word and image the facade of Orvieto Cathedral, the reliefs of which are considered to be among the most beautiful andpowerful of the Trecento. The town of Orvieto, located half-way between Rome and Florence, played an important and strategic role in the political struggles in Italy during the latter part of the thirteenth century. Frequently the place of residence for popes and their Angevins allies, it became the seat of the Curia under Pope Nicholas IV, which brought wealth and economic growth to the community. Moreover, it enabled earlier plans for a new cathedral, initiated around 1285, to be finally realised. It was Pope Nicholas himself who laid the foundation stone of the new Duomo in 1290, and although building activity continued until well into the seventeenth century, most of the main portion of the building was complete by 1308, creating a dazzling and unique Gothic structure. The facade of the Cathedral in particular, is a masterpiece of design and relief sculpture. Its rich decorative carving is of outstanding quality and the innovative, compelling iconographic programme spreads across all four piers of the lower facade. The corpus of photographs by David Finn, taken specially for this publication, shows the skill and narrative details of this vituoso display of relief carving, while the text by Anita Fiderer Moskowitz, Professor of Art History at the State University ofNew York, Stony Brook, explains the building in the context of related Italian Gothic architecture, and discusses the problems and controversies regarding the designand ornamentation of the facade as well as the puzzling questionas to its artistic attribution. The author also interprets the basic iconography of the sculptures andprovides full descriptions for the detail images. 200 pages, 180 illustrations, Bibliography
