Download and read online ebook Lectures on Art write by Christian Michel. This book was released on 2020-08-25. Lectures on Art available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. For the first time, a critical selection of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture’s highly influential conférences is available in English. Between 1667 and 1792, the artists and amateurs of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris lectured on the Académie’s conférences, foundational documents in the theory and practice of art. These texts and the principles they embody guided artistic practice and art theory in France and throughout Europe for two centuries. In the 1800s, the Académie’s influence waned, and few of the 388 Académie lectures were translated into English. Eminent scholars Christian Michel and Jacqueline Lichtenstein have selected and annotated forty-two of the most representative lectures, creating the first authoritative collection of the conférences for readers of English. Essential to understanding French art of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, these lectures reveal what leading French artists looked for in a painting or sculpture, the problems they sought to resolve in their works, and how they viewed their own and others’ artistic practice.

This book was released on 2016-05-09. MORCEAUX available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Im Zuge der Etablierung europèaischer Kunstakademien bildeten sich Aufnahmezeremonien aus, die von den zukèunftigen Mitgliedern ein Probestèuck zum Beweis ihrer Fèahigkeiten forderten. Erstmalig wird in diesem Band ein vergleichender Blick auf die Aufnahmeprozeduren der wichtigsten europèaischen Akademien und auf diese faszinierenden, zumeist kleinformatigen Werke geworfen, die eine eigene Gattung der Bildhauerei darstellen. An keinen konkreten Verwendungszweck gebunden und unbeeinflusst durch Auftraggeberwèunsche, ermèoglichten sie ihren Schèopfern nicht nur eine selbstbewusste Zurschaustellung ihrer Fèahigkeiten, sondern luden auch zur Gattungsreflektion ein. Die virtuosen Schaustèucke fèuhren damit vor Augen, was die Bildhauer der Zeit als Aufgaben und Ziele ihrer Kunst ansahen.

Download and read online ebook The hurt(ful) body write by Tomas Macsotay. This book was released on 2017-07-21. The hurt(ful) body available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book offers a cross-disciplinary approach to pain and suffering in the early modern period, based on research in the fields of literary studies, art history, theatre studies, cultural history and the study of emotions. The volume’s two-fold approach to the hurt body, defining ‘hurt’ from the perspectives of both victim and beholder - as well as their combined creation of a gaze - is unique. It establishes a double perspective about the riddle of ‘cruel’ viewing by tracking the shifting cultural meanings of victims’ bodies and confronting them with the values of audiences, religious and popular institutional settings and practices of punishment. It encompasses both the victim’s presence as an image or performed event of pain and the conundrum of the look – the transmitted ‘pain’ experienced by the watching audience.
