Book Synopsis The Tate Gallery (Classic Reprint) by : James Bolivar Manson
Download or read book The Tate Gallery (Classic Reprint) written by James Bolivar Manson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tate Gallery The collection of paintings in the Tate Gallery may not be a perfect representation of the whole of British art, justly balanced, equally strong in all periods, but it does serve as a conspectus by which the general direction, and the lines on which English painting has grown, from Hogarth to the present day, may be studied. Art in England has developed mainly by the operation of the forces of reaction, punctuated, as it were, by influence from abroad. The rise and fall in the course of its progress may be easily perceived the heights are not more clearly marked than the depressions. It is convenient to make Van Dyck the starting-point, for the work of the Flemish master dominated the English School for nearly one hundred years from the middle of the seventeenth century, and his attractive if artificial methods and style were exploited by most of the English painters. In the hands of Lely, Kneller, and others the practice of painting gradually degenerated - the usual result of adopting second-hand methods - into the driest convention. A reaction from it - a breaking away and return to nature - became inevitable. The appearance of William Hogarth, as the pioneer of the realists, marked the inauguration of a period of individualistic painters, drawing inspiration from nature rather than from the work of the older masters, although still far from complete emancipation, and still strongly under the influences of an accepted and fashionable style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Portrait Gallery The name of the Emperor of Germany is one of the most significant in the nineteenth century. It may be taken to symbolise that unification of the German people and regeneration of the German Empire with which it must always remain inseparably associated. Nothing during the last fifty years has been more remarkable, or is likely to exercise a greater influence upon Europe, than the consolidation under single governments of the two great countries, Italy and Germany. It would be difficult to overrate the importance and the salutariness of the results that may be expected from it, and have even already begun to appear. In older and more barbarous times the aggregation of extensive territories under the hand of a single powerful ruler has not always been a beneficial thing, and even in days more near our own its effect has often been disastrous. But the great distinction must be kept carefully in mind, between that merely territorial dominion which has been effected by the violence of an unscrupulous and ambitious man, and such consolidation as that which Italy and Germany have lately undergone, where a number of petty and ill-governed States have been incorporated into one great whole, to which by speech and race they naturally belong. The consequences of the former have generally been evil, while from the latter we may reasonably look for good. The accomplishment of this result has been chiefly due, in Italy, to Victor Emmanuel and his minister Cavour; in Germany, to Prince Bismarck and the present Emperor. The history of the Emperor William's life is, therefore, so far as its main interest is concerned, little else than an account of the rise of Prussia from the low condition to which Napoleon had brought her till she has come to be the head of a united Empire. Wilhelm I. (Friedrich Ludvig) is the second son of Frederick William III. of Prussia, and younger brother of the late Frederick William IV. He was born on the 22nd of March, 1797. His early childhood was passed amid the convulsion and alarm occasioned by the ambition of the first Napoleon. No country suffered more than Germany from the disasters of that time, when all her different States were overrun by the French. In 1800 Napoleon brought the old German Empire to a close, by forcing Francis II. of Austria to renounce the Imperial crown, and established the Confederation of the Rhine to take its place. At this date Prince William was not ten years old. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of England: Lectures Given in Oxford I am now alike comforted in having left you, and encouraged in return; for on all grounds it was most desirable that to the imperfect, and yet in many points new and untried code of practice which I had instituted, the foundations of higher study should have been added by Mr. Richmond, in connection with the methods of art-education recognized in the Academies of Europe. And although I have not yet been able to consult with him on the subject, I trust that no interruption of the courses of figure study, thus established, may be involved in the completion, for what it is worth, of the system of subordinate exercises in natural history and landscape, indicated in the schools to which at present, for convenience' sake, my name is attached; but which, if they indeed deserve encouragement, will, I hope, receive it ultimately, as presenting to the beginner the first aspects of art, in the widest, because the humblest, relation to those of divinely organized and animated Nature.
