Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas Gainsborough: His Life, Work, Friends, and Sitters The art of Gainsborough has since occupied the energies of many able writers, but, with the exception of some allusions in letters, memoirs, and lives of his con temporaries which have appeared from time to time, little has been added to our knowledge of the details of his life, and Fulcher's interesting volume seems likely to remain the chief authority.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gainsborough And sculpture flourished as early as the Gothic Age, and in most of these countries the Renaissance produced a host of crafts men whose works still endure among the most superb creations of artistic genius. It is now inexact to say that there was no primitive period in British Art; the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth cen tuties, so resplendent on the Continent with pictures and statues reflecting the character, the aspirations, the temperament of the respective peoples that produced them, produced works Of art also in these islands There are ample records of pic tures having been painted in England, both religious subjects and portraits, at a very early age, as far back even as the reign of Henry III.; of such remote productions little has been preserved, but there are still extant a few specimens, from the thirteenth century onwards, as well as portraits of Henry VI., Henry VII., and efiigies of princes and.

Download or read book Thomas Gainsborough written by N. D'Anvers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas Gainsborough: A Record of His Life and Works In the world of literature, as in that of politics and of science, many great stars arose and set during Gainsborough's career. Samuel johnson was just beginning to attract notice by his Latin translations in the year the artist was born, and died three years before him; Oliver Goldsmith, one year younger than Gainsborough, was cut Off in the prime of life in 1774, when his great contemporary was at the zenith of his fame; Fielding's first comedy was produced in Drury Lane when Gainsborough was a year old; Cowper, though he was four years younger than the artist and survived him sixteen years, had produced all his best work and sunk into imbecility before 1788. In 1727 Richardson was still a mere scribbler for the newspapers, his Pamela not having been produced till 1740; Sterne, a lad Of fourteen when Gainsborough was born, did not issue the book which made his reputation till he was fifty; Chatterton, the brilliant meteor who flashed so rapidly across the literary firmament to be quenched in early dissolu tion, was born whilst Gainsborough was still a struggling painter at Ipswich, and died before the great artist had reached the acme of his fame Gray, with whose quiet descriptions of rural scenery the landscapes of Gainsborough had some affinity, was producing his immortal works of classic style, but truly English sentiment, when the Suffolk painter was just beginning his career; Burns was the idol of Scotland and of England throughout the whole of Gainsborough's career; and the mystery of Dean Swift's connection with Stella was still being eagerly canvassed in literary circles when the young neophyte first came to London. In striking contrast with the intense and fevered political and literary activity of the eighteenth century, not only in England, but throughout Europe, was the decline of all true art production. In Italy, the land so long prolific of painters of real genius, not a single name of note rises above the dead level of uniform mediocrity: for Canaletto, Guardi.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gainsborough and His Place in English Art HE pages of a biography, even when the subject is a painter, are scarcely, perhaps, the right place for discussing the nature of art. I am tempted, nevertheless, to venture upon such a discussion, partly because it seems convenient to confess one's faith and explain the ideas by which one intends to be guided, partly because my own cogita tions have led me to conclusions not hitherto formulated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gainsborough Constable O a few lovers of English Landscape Art this little volume will, I hope, be acceptable, notwithstanding its obvious deficiencies. The lives of these eminent painters of our rural scenery present many striking points of resemblance, and some sad points of contrast. Born amidst the same scenes, and educated under like influences, they were alike in their adoration of Nature, their allegiance to true Art, and their unwearying life of toil; but their professional careers were very different.

The Pagan and Christian world mingle in the work of Botticelli; but the man himself belonged to an age that is past and gone - an age that flourished long before men recorded history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Journeys to the Homes of Eminent Artists: Corot Ost young artists begin by working for microscopic effects, trying to portray every detail, to see every leaf, stem and branch and reveal them in the picture. {the ability to draw carefully and fin ish painstakingly is very necessary, but the great artist must forget how to draw before he paints a great picture; just as every strong writer must put the gram mar upon the shelf before he writes well. I once heard Mr. William Dean Howells say that any good, bright High School girl of sixteen could pass a far better examination in rhetoric than he could - and the admission did Mr. How ells no discredit. Would you advise me to take a course in elocution? Once asked a young man with oratorical ambitions of Henry Ward Beecher. Yes, by all means. Study elocution very carefully, but you will have to forget it all before you ever become an orator, was the answer.

When Horace Greeley gave his daily mes sage to the world, every editor of any power in America paid good money for the privilege of being a subscriber to the Tribune. The Tribune had no ex change list - if you wanted the Tri bune you had to buy it, and the writers bought it because it wound up their clocks - set them a-going - and they either carefully abstained from mention ing Greeley, or else went in right valiant ly and exposed his vagaries. Greeley may have been often right, and we now know he was often wrong, but he infused the breath of life into his words - his sentences were a challenge - he made men think. And the reason he made men think was because he himself was a thinker. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
