Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Later Renaissance Although the reasons for the course taken with the literature of Spain are given in the text, they may be repeated here by way of preliminary excuse. It has been decided to treat the Spaniards as an example of the overlapping necessary to the satisfactory carrying out of a series in periods. I have begun with them earlier than with others, have ended with them later, and have as far as space permitted treated them as a whole. For this there is what appears to me to be a sound critical reason. Although Spain undoubtedly belongs to Europe, yet there is in her something which is not quite European. The.

Download or read book The American Renaissance (Classic Reprint) written by R. L. Duffus and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-06 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Renaissance It should likewise be understood that though this volume arises from a lively intere'st both in art and in education it is not the product of a professional experience. The author is guiltless, either of painting or of teaching others to paint. The chapters which follow represent a layman's point of view. But they would not have come into being at all had there not been a conviction in the mind of the author and in the minds of those who have encouraged and abetted this enterprise that the layman has rights, both in art and in education. He is, in fact, the most important as he sometimes seems to be the most neglected element In the situation. I hesitate to define art, partly because I know I shall invite criticism If I do so, and partly because I do not know how. But in at least one sense it is a medium of communication. It is not only a language through which the artist conveys a message to his fellow men, but also a device by the aid of which the latter reach an understanding among themselves. Those who love Botticelli or Degas are not strangers. But a medium of com munication may be considered successful only to the extent that it communicates. If the layman cannot understand the artistic message of his generation something is wrong with his education or with the education of the artist. Something must be done to re-educate one or both before there can be an aesthetic revival that is, before a given generation can utter forcibly and intelligibly its characteristic criticism of life.

Book Synopsis The Italian Renaissance in England Studies (Classic Reprint) by : Lewis Einstein
Download or read book The Italian Renaissance in England Studies (Classic Reprint) written by Lewis Einstein and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Italian Renaissance in England Studies The history of the Italian Renaissance in the countries of Europe outside of Italy still remains a subject half unexplored. No account has as yet been written of the successive steps by which Italian culture crossed the Alps, the different directions it took, and the extent of its influence. The purpose of these studies is, therefore, to supply a link in the chain, and trace the Italian influence in England from the beginning of the fifteenth century until the death of Elizabeth. Separate aspects of this have, it is true, been treated by others. Beginning with Warton and Nott, a number of scholars have searched especially for the Italian sources of English poetry. Although in recent years most work of this kind has been accomplished in Germany, Miss Scott's contribution to a similar subject ought not to pass unnoticed in the scholarly annals of our own country. No serious effort has, however, been made to discover a common impulse running through the Italian influences in England: to find at the university, at court, and among the people at large, in different and even opposite directions, the results of one and the same great movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Giorgio Vasari: A Study of the Later Renaissance in Italy Vasari may be considered as the most prominent artist of this period of decadence. Both architect and painter, heliyed in jobs; midst of courts; he conversed with Alessandro, Cosimo and Francesco de' Medici; and was as familiar as commoner clay might be with the Popes from Clement VII to Gregory XIII. He knew all the great painters who were slowly passing away around him, and the notices of them in the Lives are largely supplied from his own eye-witness. More than two hundred and sixty of his letters have already been published and a great many more have recently been discovered, though they are not as yet available for the purposes of this work. In addition to this we have the Auto biography, together with a number of his poems, so that there is ample material for the present work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ortensio Lando, Vol. 20: A Humorist of the Renaissance Italy was in a disturbed condition, and his youth was passed in the profession of arms. He served under Pozzo da Perego and many other leaders, and attained at least the rank of captain. This attempt to trace in detail the career of Lando would not have been made but for the encouragement of Mr. Richard Copley Christie, the biographer of Etienne Dolet, who with great liberality allowed the use of his rare books and bibliographical notes. Scholars must deeply regret that Mr. Christie has not accomplished his work on the Types of the later Renaissance, ' since no other can claim the same knowledge of humanism and its literature. In this work Lando would have been taken as the type of the humorist - a classification here adopted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Euphorion, Vol. 2: Being Studies of the Antique and the Medieval in the Renaissance The ideal, for the man who is quite coarsely realistic in his figures, exists in the air, light, colour; and in saying this I have, so to speak, turned over the page too quickly, forestalled the expression of what I can prove only later: the disconnection of such comparative realism and idealism as this (the only kind of realism, let us remember, which can exist in great art) with any personal bias of the artist, its intimate dependence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Courtier The popularity long enjoyed by this Old book, the place that it holds in Italian literature, and the fact that it is almost inaccessible to English readers, seem to furnish sufficient reason for a new translation. The art Of the Italian Renaissance delights us by its delicate and gentle beauty, and yet we know that life during this period was Often gross and violent. TO understand this, we must remember that art is more the expres sion Of the ideal than Of the actual, and that men's ideals are loftier than their practice. Castiglione gives utterance to the finest aspirations of his time. His pages will lack interest only when mankind ceases to be interesting to man, and will reward study so long as the past shall continue to instruct the present and the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book Synopsis Holbein (Classic Reprint) by : Hans Reinhardt
Download or read book Holbein (Classic Reprint) written by Hans Reinhardt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holbein However, there seem to be other more deep-rooted causes for Holbein's retirement from the Germanic world. In his assimilation of the elements of the Italian Renaissance and in his search for the clearest solution of its problems, he is indirect opposition to German art, which, lyrical in sentiment, finds, expression by the use of pathos. Indeed, Holbein's predominant interest in form and his acute powers of observation are often foreign to German standards. Already before 1530 Holbein had developed in the direction of a classicism of an almost international character and traces of his Germanic temperament are only to be found in his natural vigour. In this way he shows affinities with the artists of the Italian classical tradition whom it has becomeusual, since Vasari, to group under the name of mannerists and indeed Francis I, when he wished to introduce North of the Alps the style of the Renaissance, issued invitations to some of these artists. But no painter of the period seemed better prepared than Holbein for the carrying out of this programme. Perhaps his visit to France in about I 524 was not without a practical aim, and it is quite possible that he hoped to establish some interesting connections. It would be curious to imagine what influence Holbein would have had on European art if he had become one of the masters of the school of Fontainebleau. However, his road led in later years not to the court of France but to that of England, where, honoured as a master among artists, he occupied a position of complete supremacy.

This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Literary Criticism in the Renaissance This essay undertakes to treat the history of literary criticism in the Renaissance. The three sections into which the essay is divided are de voted, respectively, to Italian criticism from Dante to Tasso, to French criticism from Du Bellay to. Boileau, and to English criticism from Ascham to Milton; but the critical activity of the sixteenth century has been the main theme, and the earlier or later literature has received treatment only in so far as it serves to explain the causes or conse quences of the critical development of this central period. It was at this epoch that modern criticism began, and that the ancient ideals of art seemed once more to sway the minds of men; so that the history of sixteenth-century criticism must of necessity include a study of the beginnings of critical activity in modern Europe and of the grad ual introduction of the Aristotelian canons into modern literature.
