Book Synopsis Poetry, Painting, Park by : Franz R Kempf
Download or read book Poetry, Painting, Park written by Franz R Kempf and published by Legenda. This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imbued with a pulsating energy that emanates from the sun, Claude Lorrain's landscape draws on the interplay of light and darkness to effect a 'living whole' and evoke the symbolic. In a life-long conversation with Lorrain - recorded in texts as diverse as 'Amor as Landscape Painter', Faust, and the Doctrine of Colours - Goethe conducts an inquiry into the dialectics of nature and art, imitation and invention, subject and object. Goethe seeks to comprehend Lorrain by reenacting him in words, in ekphrastic mode, as an experience and an idea. The inquiry remains open-ended for landscape is a paradox: the real, the spiritual, and the affective meet without merging. This aesthetic discovery and visualization of nature as landscape is consonant with the attempt to grasp the world and our place in it. The three sister arts of poetry, painting, and horticulture serve as mirrors for Goethe's self-understanding as an artist, including his ambivalence vis-à-vis the English Garden as articulated, for instance, in the novel Elective Affinities. Franz R. Kempf is Professor of German Studies at Bard College.

Book Synopsis Claude Lorrain--the Painter as Draftsman by : Richard Rand
Download or read book Claude Lorrain--the Painter as Draftsman written by Richard Rand and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great French artist Claude Lorrain (1600-1682)--for whom drawing was an integral part of the artistic process--spent most of his career in Italy, where he documented the beauty of the landscape and the splendor of classical ruins. This richly illustrated book examines the wide-ranging role the medium played throughout Claude's career. The book presents some of Claude’s most remarkable drawings, representing all aspects of his style and subject matter--from informal outdoor sketches of trees, rivers, and ruins to formal presentation drawings and elaborate compositional designs for paintings, many of which have never before been reproduced in color. A detailed and scholarly essay places them within the social and cultural contexts of their time and includes comparative illustrations of paintings and etchings to situate them within the artist's oeuvre. A selection of works from the Liber Veritatis (Book of Truth), a portfolio of highly finished drawings that the artist created to document his own painted compositions, is also included.

Book Synopsis French Painting in the Seventeenth Century by : Alain Mérot
Download or read book French Painting in the Seventeenth Century written by Alain Mérot and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies and exhibitions, combined with the discovery of work by hitherto little-known artists have enabled Merot to take a fresh look at the period and to suggest a new configuration. The great names of the period - Poussin, Vouet, Le Sueur, de La Tour, Mignard - are located in relation to other developments. Merot includes discussion of the impact of contemporary literature and political, philosophical and social influences. The foundation of the Royal Academy of Painting in 1648, and the influence of Mazarin on artistic developments are considered with other issues of status, patronage and connoisseurship. The book provides a panorama of the period; the text is profusely illustrated in colour, and accompanied by a comprehensive bibliography.

Book Synopsis The Invention of the English Landscape by : Peter Borsay
Download or read book The Invention of the English Landscape written by Peter Borsay and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since at least the Reformation, English men and women have been engaged in visiting, exploring and portraying, in words and images, the landscape of their nation. The Invention of the English Landscape examines these journeys and investigations to explore how the natural and historic English landscape was reconfigured to become a widely enjoyed cultural and leisure resource. Peter Borsay considers the manifold forces behind this transformation, such as the rise of consumer culture, the media, industrial and transport revolutions, the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and the Gothic revival. In doing so, he reveals the development of a powerful bond between landscape and natural identity, against the backdrop of social and political change from the early modern period to the start of the Second World War. Borsay's interdisciplinary approach demonstrates how human understandings of the natural world shaped the geography of England, and uncovers a wealth of valuable material, from novels and poems to paintings, that expose historical understandings of the landscape. This innovative approach illuminates how the English countryside and historic buildings became cultural icons behind which the nation was rallied during war-time, and explores the emergence of a post-war heritage industry that is now a definitive part of British cultural life.
Download or read book Claude Lorrain written by Claude Lorrain and published by Schirmer/Mosel. This book was released on 1998 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Claude's work, Nature stands eternally revealed". Thus Goethe expressed his admiration for the most celebrated landscape painter in the history of art. Claude Lorrain (1600-82), born in Lorraine, went to Rome as a thirteen-year-old and, except for minor journeys, was to remain there until his death. The history-laden Roman Campagna, and Latium's soft, warm light, became his sources of inspiration in a genre of painting which, through him, first achieved autonomy, and of which he was the unrivaled master. Claude's landscapes bear witness not only to his intense observation of and familiarity with Nature. They are not only miracles of poetry and mood, perfectly composed and executed. They also embody a world-view, translated into light and color, that owes its philosophical foundation to the poetry of Ancient Rome and Greece, and its timeless relevance to the Renaissance and newly-emerging Enlightenment sciences. In an increasingly disjointed world -- the age of Descartes, the Counter-Reformation, the Thirty Years' War -- which, since Copernicus and Galileo, could no longer be seen as the center of the universe, Claude countered with the boundless finitude of his light-filled universal landscapes. This book brings together Claude Lorrain's finest paintings and drawings, carefully selected and lavishly reproduced.

Book excerpt: Published to accompany an exhibition at the British Museum and the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, this catalogue looks at Claude Lorrain, as a draughtsman, focusing on his style and technique. The majority of the drawings are taken from the collections of the British Museum, with a selection from the lesser-known collection of his work fromhoused in the Ashmoleon Museum.

Book Synopsis Europe in the Age of Monarchy by : Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)
Download or read book Europe in the Age of Monarchy written by Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.) and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 1987 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume reproduces over 125 works of art in every genre and medium from the collections of the Metropolitan Museum. They give a breathtaking picture of a turbulent and exciting epoch, which was at once the Age of Monarchy and a Golden Age of art. Just as its kings and queens are still exemplars of glorious majesty and shrewd statesmanship, so the artists of that century remain for us the Old Masters of European art: Caravaggio, Bernini, Tiepolo, Guardi; El Greco, Velazquez; Rubens, van Dyck; Hals, Rembrandt, Vermeer, van Ruisdael; de La Tour, Poussin, Claude, Watteau, Bourcher, Chardin. In every medium, the clash and complicity of the traditional Classical style and the newer Baroque vision bequeathed us a rich treasure."--Page 4 of cover.
