Book Synopsis The Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 1857 by : ElizabethA. Pergam
Download or read book The Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 1857 written by ElizabethA. Pergam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overdue study of a groundbreaking event, this is the first book-length examination of the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 1857. Intended to rehabilitate Manchester's image at a heady time of economic prosperity, the Exhibition became a touchstone for aesthetic, social, and economic issues of the mid-nineteenth century. Reverberations of this moment can be followed to the present day in the discipline of art history and its practice in public museums of Europe and America. Highlighting the tension between art and commerce, philanthropy and profit, the book examines the Exhibition's organization and the presentation of the works of art in the purpose-built Art Treasures Palace. Pergam places the Exhibition in the context of contemporary debates about museum architecture and display. With an analysis of the reception of both "Ancient" and "Modern" paintings, the book questions the function of exhibitions in the construction of an art historical canon. The book also provides an essential reference tool: a compiled list of all of the paintings exhibited in 1857 that are now in public collections throughout the world, with an analysis of the collecting trends manifest in their provenance.

Book Synopsis Knowing God Is Knowing Love by : Linda Stafford
Download or read book Knowing God Is Knowing Love written by Linda Stafford and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A short summary of the title of the book Knowing God Is Knowing Love. How does one write a book about knowing God? For Linda, it began with just one word or phrase chosen each day from her morning devotional readings. She used that one word as her mantra (her sacred counsel). The word given to her from the Holy Spirit helped her to react in a positive way to situations that arose during the day. At the end of each month, Linda lit a candle, said a prayer and with pen in hand, she allowed the Holy Spirit to guide what was written concerning each word. What transpired for Linda was a beautiful heartfelt journey of faith that grew in love and commitment to God. Through sharing her reflections and the treasures gleaned from her open, listening heart, Linda encourages readers to ponder what was written. Her simple concept of choosing one word each day will transform your life. In Knowing God Is Knowing Love, readers will be inspired to start choosing their own word to help them stay focused on being more loving and kind through their love for God and others. Whatever your denomination or church affiliation may be, Linda encourages all to be loyal and true to their calling of loving God and loving one another.

Book Synopsis The Tsarina's Lost Treasure by : Mara Vorhees
Download or read book The Tsarina's Lost Treasure written by Mara Vorhees and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting history and maritime adventure about priceless masterpieces originally destined for Catherine the Great. On October 1771, a merchant ship out of Amsterdam, Vrouw Maria, crashed off the stormy Finnish coast, taking her historic cargo to the depths of the Baltic Sea. The vessel was delivering a dozen Dutch masterpiece paintings to Europe’s most voracious collector: Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. Among the lost treasures was The Nursery, an oak-paneled triptych by Leiden fine painter Gerrit Dou, Rembrandt’s most brilliant student and Holland’s first international superstar artist. Dou’s triptych was long the most beloved and most coveted painting of the Dutch Golden Age, and its loss in the shipwreck was mourned throughout the art world. Vrouw Maria, meanwhile, became a maritime legend, confounding would-be salvagers for more than two hundred years. In July 1999, a daring Finnish wreck hunter found Vrouw Maria, upright on the sea floor and perfectly preserved. The Tsarina’s Lost Treasure masterfully recounts the fascinating tale of Vrouw Maria—her loss and discovery—weaving together the rise and fall of the artist whose priceless masterpiece was the jewel of the wreckage. Gerald Easter and Mara Vorhees bring to vivid life the personalities that drove (and are still driving) this compelling tale, evoking Robert Massie’s depiction of Russian high politics and culture, Simon Schama’s insights into Dutch Golden Age art and art history, Gary Kinder’s spirit of, danger and adventure on the beguiling Archipelago Sea.

Acclaimed museum director Maxwell Anderson, newly named Eugene McDermott Director of the Dallas Museum of Art, enters the fray with The Quality Instinct. Part personal memoir, part thinking person's guide to the museum, The Quality Instinct is filled with wit and humor, anecdotes, and insights from the author's 30 years in the highly competitive, often contentious art world.
