André Chastel 13613

French Art - The ancien régime 1620-1775

St Martins Press, 1996. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 399. The third volume of Andre Chastel's sweeping history of French art explores the extraordinary painting, sculpture, and architecture that emerged during the reigns of Louis XIII, Louis XIV, and Louis XV. During this 150-year period, three major styles dominated French art. Under Louis XIII, the official court painter was Peter Paul Rubens, and the order of the day was the baroque, a continuation of the Italian influence which had spread to France during the Renaissance. However, over the course of Louis XIV's 60-year reign, a uniquely French style of triumphal classicism emerged, whose monumental proportions reflected the Sun King's drive for French hegemony in Europe. This striving for glory was expressed artistically in the grandiose architecture of Versailles and its complex painted and sculpted allegorical program. Louis XV's tastes were very different from those of his celebrated predecessor. He had the monumental apartments at Versailles subdivided to create more refined, intimate settings, and had them hung with charming rococo pastoral scenes and fetes galantes. This period also saw a flowering of the decorative arts, in which stylistic developments paralleled those in painting, sculpture, and architecture. ISBN: 9782080136176. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.

Silver and Gold: Courtly Splendour from Augsburg

Prestel, 1995. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 128. An exhibition held at the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum in Munich in 1994 gathered together for the first time masterpieces of the Augsburg goldsmith's and silversmith's art that had been created for numerous princely and royal courts throughout Europe. Objects now scattered among major museums in Moscow, St Petersburg, Copenhagen, Berlin, Dresden and Vienna were reunited in a display that drew ecstatic responses from public and critics alike. This book provides a photographic documentation of pieces shown in the exhibition, including several details that reveal their superlative quality. The items included in this feast for the eye range from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, from extravagant late Renaissance table automata and magnificent Baroque display buffets to elegant Rococo toilet sets. The introductory essay traces the development of the goldsmith's and silversmith's craft in Augsburg, and places the illustrated works in their stylistic and historical contexts. ISBN: 9783791314471.

David Stephenson 165557

Visions of Heaven. The Dome in European Architecture

Princeton Architectural Press, 2005. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 192. There's an ethereal magic to standing beneath a dome, neck craned, looking up at a vision of the heavens created by some long ago figure of genius. From the Pantheon to the Hagia Sophia, the power of the dome seems transcendent. Photographer David Stephenson's magnificently kaleidoscopic images of dome interiors capture this evanescent drama, and make "Visions of Heaven" one of the most spectacularly beautiful books we've ever produced. Traveling from Italy to Spain, Turkey, England, Germany, and Russia, among other countries, and photographing churches, palaces, mosques, and synagogues from the second to the early twentieth century, Stephenson's work amounts to a veritable typology of the cupola. His images present complex geometrical structures, rich stucco decorations, and elaborate paintings as they have never been seen before. Brilliantly calibrated exposures reveal details and colors that would otherwise remain hidden in these dimly lit spaces. "Visions of Heaven" shows more than 120 images, including the Roman Pantheon, the Byzantine churches of Turkey, the great domes of the Renaissance, the decorative cupolas of the Baroque and the Rococo ages, and a nineteenth century synagogue in Hungary.

Anne-Marie Logan, Kristin Lohse Belkin

Drawings of Peter Paul Rubens, A Critical Catalogue, Volume Two (1609?1620) Part One: Text and Part Two: Images

Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023 2 vols; Part One: Text and Part Two: Images, 732 pages; Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:291 col. Language(s):English. ISBN 9782503599533.
¶ This is Volume II in the three-volume catalogue raisonné of the drawings by Rubens covering the years 1609?20. The project is a collaboration between Anne-Marie Logan, to whom belong all the Rubens attributions, and Kristin Lohse Belkin. It is the first publication that presents the artist's entire drawn oeuvre in chronological order, previous such publications containing only selections of drawings. By leafing through the illustrations, this arrangement offers the user a quick visual impression of the variety of techniques, media, subject matter and functions of Rubens's drawings at any one time. Accordingly, Volume II consists of the drawings from the time of Rubens's return from Italy and the establishment of his workshop in Antwerp to the completion of his contribution to the furnishing and decoration of the city's new Jesuit church, today's St. Charles Borromeo. The decade is characterized by a broad range of genres and iconography: large altarpieces stand next to cabinet-size pictures, book illustrations next to designs for tapestry, sculpture and architectural reliefs; religious, mythological and historical subjects alternate with allegories, portraits, exotic hunts and scenes from country life. Copies after other artists? works that constitute such a large part of Rubens's early years discussed in Volume I have given way to original inventions in pen and ink and, above all, by life studies in chalk of the human body, naked or dressed. The whole spectrum of Rubens's extraordinary creativity, nowhere presented as directly and immediately as in his drawings, is there to be contemplated in all its astonishing diversity. Each entry consists of a detailed physical description of the drawing, provenance, exhibition history, full bibliography and a critical, interpretive discussion. All drawings by Rubens as well as a selection of comparative images are reproduced in color.

Women in Arts, Architecture and Literature: Heritage, Legacy and Digital Perspectives Proceedings of the First Annual International Women in the Arts Conference.

Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023 Hardback, Pages: 380 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm,Illustrations:11 b/w, 82 col. Language(s):English, Italian, Spanish. ISBN 9782503606828.
¶ In the last few decades, the study of women in the arts has largely increased in terms of scholars involved in research and investigation, with the reception of the outcomes especially acknowledged by museums which are dedicating part of their mission to organizing exhibitions and/or acquiring the works of women. The Annual International Women in Arts Conference seeks to advance contemporary discussions on how female creativity has helped shape European culture in its heterogeneity since the Middle Ages. This volume collects the proceedings of the first conference organised in Rome, in October 2021. It focuses on the role of women in literature, art,?and architecture. Throughout history, these domains were often seen as very masculine. Yet, there have been many women who have made their mark as writers, illuminators, artists and architects, or have played a decisive role as patrons and supporters in these arts. This collection of essays aims to bring these women to the fore and sheds a new light on the heritage and legacy of women in the creative arts and architecture from the Middle Ages until the 20th century.

Swedish Grace.

Kaunitz-Olsson, 2022 Hardcover, 604 pages Size: 175 x 245 mm,Edition: 2nd, Illustration: 631 b/w & colour. Fine. ISBN 9789189603400.
¶ Implicity of form and clean compositions: The vernacular style of the 1920s (The text is in Swedish.) From the publisher: ?There is a strong tendency among contemporary artists to make the previously neglected everyday goods beautiful, whether it be residential buildings, furniture or household items." Then art historian Gregor Paulsson wrote in 1919. That tendency was the style that later came to be called Swedish Grace. The style came to dominate the design and architecture of the 1920s. Antique, baroque, rococo, ancient Norse fairy tales, Chinese style features and pre-Columbian ceramics: Swedish Grace exhibited a rich idiom that borrowed and was inspired by different cultures. The style was modern and forward-looking, while history was its foundation. Some of Sweden's most notable buildings like Ragnar Östberg's Stockholm City Hall and Gunnar Asplund's Stockholm Public Library are good examples of the neo-classical, variety-rich style. The book consists of 631 images showing architecture and ornaments; furniture, furnishings and exhibitions; objects in tin, cast iron and silver; sculptures, ceramics and textiles, all characterized by Swedish Grace style. In an introductory, comprehensive text of the design historian and philosophy, doctor Gunnela Ivanov described and reconstructed the world, the expressions and expressions that constituted Swedish Grace. --- Swedish: ?Det går en stark strömning bland moderna konstnärer att göra den förut försummade vardagsvaran vacker, vare sig det gäller bostadshus, möbler eller husgeråd.? Så skrev konsthistorikern Gregor Paulsson 1919. Den strömning som åsyftades var den stilriktning som senare kom att kallas Swedish Grace. Stilen kom att dominera 1920-talets formgivning och arkitektur. Antiken, barocken, rokoko, fornnordiska sagor, kinesiska stildrag och precolumbiansk keramik: Swedish Grace uppvisade ett rikt formspråk, som lånade och lät sig inspireras av olika kulturer. Stilen var modern och framåtblickande, samtidigt som tillbakablickandet var dess fundament. Några av Sveriges mest bemärkta byggnader ? bland andra Stockholms stadshus, konserthus och stadsbibliotek ? är goda exempel på den nyklassicistiska, variationsrika stilen. Denna bok består av omkring 650 bilder som visar arkitektur och utsmyckningar; möbler, inredningar och utställningar; föremål i tenn, gjutjärn och silver; skulpturer, keramik och textilier, allt präglat av Swedish Grace. I en inledande, utförlig text av designhistorikern och filosofie doktorn Gunnela Ivanov beskrivs och rekonstrueras den värld, de yttringar och uttryck som utgjorde Swedish Grace.
