Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Casts, Busts, Reliefs, and Illustrations of the School of Design and Ceramic Art: In the Museum of Art, at Melbourne Public Library At an early period the Greeks gave form to the great divinities to which they ascribed the government of the universe, also to the subordinate powers believed to superintend and direct the particular affairs of mankind. These forms were at first invested with attributes, physical and intellectual, superior to those conferred on man; next with a majesty and dignity emblematical of the Divine nature; lastly, in them was embodied the perfection of human symmetry, to which was imparted an ideal grace and beauty. Exhibited in temples, halls, and public places, or enshrined in private sanctuaries, they warmed the beholder to a sense of devotion more intelligible than could have been aroused by the mysterious relics of a barbarous antiquity. Inspired by her handmaidens, Poetry and Painting, and chastened by the enlightened criticism of successive generations, who by familiarity from infancy with such sublime works had been schooled to a correct judgment, Sculpture eventually, as it were, breathed life into the marble figure, and touched into motion the complex group. The history of Greek Sculpture may be divided into three periods: - The Dædalian. That of Pericles; or, the Heroic. That of Alexander the Great. The First ranged over several centuries, from B.C.1200 to B.C. 550. Deities and Heroes were the subjects which chiefly engaged the attention of the Sculptor. Materials used were clay, wood, stone, marble, metals of various kinds. Opening the eyes, separating the feet, liberating the arms, and extending the limbs marked the works of this age as different from those of the primitive Egyptian stiff and formal style, according to which the eyes were closed, the feet placed together, and the arms held by the sides, indicating a representation of the dead rather than of the living person. The names of some Statuaries distinguished in this era have been preserved. For what is known respecting them and the others alluded to, the reader is referred to the numerous writings upon Art, ancient and modern, collected in the Library. Amongst the Sculptors are Dædalus, the Athenian; Smilis, of Crete; Eugrammus, who, with Euchir and Diopus, followed the fortunes of Damaratus (father of Tarquin, eventually King of Rome) in his flight from Corinth to Etruria, B.C. 664, and gave a new direction to Etruscan art. Theodorus, son of Rhæcus, and brother of Telecles, to whom credit is given for the invention, B.C. 600, of casting in moulds, although as it had been practised long before by the Phœnicians, B.C. 1005, all justly due to him may be the honor of having introduced the practice into Greece.

Book Synopsis Luxury Arts of the Renaissance by : Marina Belozerskaya
Download or read book Luxury Arts of the Renaissance written by Marina Belozerskaya and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components; paintings and sculptures in modest materials, although discussed by some literati, were of lesser consequence. This book endeavors to return to the mainstream material long marginalized as a result of historical and ideological biases of the intervening centuries. The author analyzes how luxury arts went from being lofty markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to being dismissed as “decorative” or “minor” arts—extravagant trinkets of the rich unworthy of the status of Art. Then, by re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day, she shows how sumptuous creations constructed the world and taste of Renaissance women and men.

Book Synopsis The Topkapi Scroll by : Gülru Necipoğlu
Download or read book The Topkapi Scroll written by Gülru Necipoğlu and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1996-03-01 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since precious few architectural drawings and no theoretical treatises on architecture remain from the premodern Islamic world, the Timurid pattern scroll in the collection of the Topkapi Palace Museum Library is an exceedingly rich and valuable source of information. In the course of her in-depth analysis of this scroll dating from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century, Gülru Necipoğlu throws new light on the conceptualization, recording, and transmission of architectural design in the Islamic world between the tenth and sixteenth centuries. Her text has particularly far-reaching implications for recent discussions on vision, subjectivity, and the semiotics of abstract representation. She also compares the Islamic understanding of geometry with that found in medieval Western art, making this book particularly valuable for all historians and critics of architecture. The scroll, with its 114 individual geometric patterns for wall surfaces and vaulting, is reproduced entirely in color in this elegant, large-format volume. An extensive catalogue includes illustrations showing the underlying geometries (in the form of incised “dead” drawings) from which the individual patterns are generated. An essay by Mohammad al-Asad discusses the geometry of the muqarnas and demonstrates by means of CAD drawings how one of the scroll’s patterns could be used co design a three-dimensional vault.

Book Synopsis Artistry in Bronze by : Jens M Daehner
Download or read book Artistry in Bronze written by Jens M Daehner and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 920 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume derive from the proceedings of the nineteenth International Bronze Congress, held at the Getty Center and Villa in October 2015 in connection with the exhibition Power and Pathos: Bronze Sculpture of the Hellenistic World. The study of large-scale ancient bronzes has long focused on aspects of technology and production. Analytical work of materials, processes, and techniques has significantly enriched our understanding of the medium. Most recently, the restoration history of bronzes has established itself as a distinct area of investigation. How does this scholarship bear on the understanding of bronzes within the wider history of ancient art? How do these technical data relate to our ideas of styles and development? How has the material itself affected ancient and modern perceptions of form, value, and status of works of art? www.getty.edu/publications/artistryinbronze
