Book Synopsis Grinling Gibbons and the Golden Age of Woodcarving by : Ada De Wit
Download or read book Grinling Gibbons and the Golden Age of Woodcarving written by Ada De Wit and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grinling Gibbons, the most celebrated woodcarver of all times, developed an extraordinary style of realistic foliage carving in limewood. He was a man of his time, born in Rotterdam to English parents, trained in the Netherlands and, as many artists and craftsmen of his generation, moved to England, where he embarked on a spectacular career working on some of England's most iconic buildings. This book, the result of extensive new research, puts Gibbons in the Anglo-Dutch context of the second half of the seventeenth century, shedding new light on his origin, and that of his style, and the work of his contemporaries in the Netherlands and Britain. The book emphasises the importance of Rotterdam and The Hague in Anglo-Dutch relationships and as leading centres for woodcarving. It also elevates the role of wood-carved decoration - ubiquitous in the period and intended to reflect the social standing and ambitions of those who commissioned it, whether it was applied in their apartments, on war ships, carriages or in churches. Last but not least, this book contributes to studies of migrant artisans and exchanges between Britain and the Netherlands - the subjects as relevant in the seventeenth century as today.

Download or read book The Lost Carving written by David Esterly and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-12-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A beautiful, intricate meditation on creativity and discovery, on fire and rebirth.” —Elizabeth Gilbert Awestruck at the sight of a Grinling Gibbons carving in a London church, David Esterly chose to dedicate his life to woodcarving—its physical rhythms, intricate beauty, and intellectual demands. Forty years later, he is the foremost practitioner of Gibbons’s forgotten technique, which revolutionized ornamental sculpture in the late 1600s with its spectacular cascades of flowers, fruits, and foliage. After a disastrous fire at Henry VIII’s Hampton Court Palace, Esterly was asked to replace the Gibbons masterpiece destroyed by the flames. It turned out to be the most challenging year in Esterly’s life, forcing him to question his abilities and delve deeply into what it means to make a thing well. Written with a philosopher’s intellect and a poet’s grace, The Lost Carving explores the connection between creativity and physical work and illuminates the passionate pursuit of a vocation that unites head and hand and heart.
Book Synopsis Nineteenth-century Irish Sculpture by : Paula Murphy
Download or read book Nineteenth-century Irish Sculpture written by Paula Murphy and published by Paul Mellon Centre for Studies. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paula Murphy, the leading expert on Irish sculpture, offers an extensive survey of the history of sculpture in Ireland in the nineteenth century, with particular emphasis on the large public works produced during the Victorian period. The works of such major figures as Patrick MacDowell, John Henry Foley, Thomas Kirk, and Thomas Farrell are discussed --as well as works by a host of lesser-known sculptors, including John Edward Carew, Christopher Moore, James Cahill, and Joseph Robinson Kirk. Lavishly illustrated, the book covers the work of many Irish sculptors who practiced abroad, particularly in London, and the work of English sculptors, including John Flaxman, Francis Chantrey, E. H. Baily, and Richard Westmacott, who were located in Ireland. Murphy makes extensive use of contemporary documentation, much of it from newspapers, to present the sculptors and their work in the religious and political context of their time. Published for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
