Download or read book David Le Marchand 1674-1726 written by Charles Avery and published by Ben Uri Gallery & Museum. This book was released on 1996 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Le Marchand was an expert ivory carver and executed some of the most impressive cameo portraits ever carved in ivory. This is the first book on his work, and was published to accompany a major touring exhibition.Le Marchand learned his craft in his native Dieppe, the port to which elephant tusks were shipped from West Africa. However, as a Huguenot he was forced in 1685 to flee religious persecution in France, and settled in Edinburgh in 1696. Here he secured the patronage of some leading Scottish families, including the Earl of Cromartie and the Duke of Perth, for whom he was to undertake important portrait commissions.More distinguished patrons were to follow after Le Marchand moved to London in 1705. Among those who flocked to him for portrait busts and cameos were Queen Anne, George I and the Duke of Marlborough, as well as Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Christopher Wren, Samuel Pepys, and the founder of Guy's Hospital, Thomas Guy.This book examines the role of Le Marchand in the artistic, commercial and intellectual worlds of his day and includes a fully illustrated catalogue of works encompassing the entire range of his activity as a sculptor.

Book Synopsis Defining Features by : Ludmilla Jordanova
Download or read book Defining Features written by Ludmilla Jordanova and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2012-12-24 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portraiture as a genre is receiving increased attention at the same time that public curiosity about science is reaching unprecedented levels. Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London, from 14 April – 17 September 2000, and the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, University of East Anglia, from 27 September – 10 December 2000, Defining Features brings portraiture and science together. Ludmilla Jordanova's lucid text reflects on the nature of the relationship between art, science, medicine and technology by focusing on a selection of portraits that spans more than three centuries. Illustrated with likenesses of such notable personalities as Edward Jenner, Marie Curie, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein and Dorothy Hodgkin, and encompassing a variety of media from paintings and medals to bookmarks and key rings, Defining Features charts changing attitudes towards medical practice and scientific investigation, as well as exploring how notions of gender, heroism, popularization and celebrity have affected the public's understanding of how researchers do their work.

Book Synopsis The Iconography of Sir Isaac Newton to 1800 by : Milo Keynes
Download or read book The Iconography of Sir Isaac Newton to 1800 written by Milo Keynes and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalogue and iconography of the extraordinary wealth of images of Sir Isaac Newton, both before and after his death. Sir Isaac Newton [1642-1727] is rare among figures of the past for the number of authentic paintings, engravings and images of him which survive. He was painted by some nine different artists in the latter part of his life, and after his death both portraits and sculptures continued to proliferate, the amazing demand for representations of his image demonstrating his immense fame. This iconography, lavishly illustrated in both colour and black and white, and involving the disciplines of History of Art and History of Science, catalogues 231 icons in two sections, and is thus an invaluable guide to the images. Part I contains 122 portraits and Part II 109 sculptures, about fifty of which were produced before his death, the rest from then until 1800.

Book Synopsis The Look of the Past by : Ludmilla Jordanova
Download or read book The Look of the Past written by Ludmilla Jordanova and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we use visual and material culture to shed light on the past? Ludmilla Jordanova offers a fascinating and thoughtful introduction to the role of images, objects and buildings in the study of past times. Through a combination of thematic chapters and essays on specific artefacts – a building, a piece of sculpture, a photographic exhibition and a painted portrait – she shows how to analyse the agency and visual intelligence of artists, makers and craftsmen and make sense of changes in visual experience over time. Generously illustrated and drawing on numerous examples of images and objects from 1600 to the present, this is an essential guide to the skills that students need in order to describe, analyse and contextualise visual evidence. The Look of the Past will encourage readers to think afresh about how they, like people in the past, see and interpret the world around them.
