  • European Art and Culture 1750-1850 Icy Perfection: Antonio Canova And
    Diploma Lecture Series 2013 Revolution to Romanticism: European Art and Culture 1750-1850 Icy Perfection: Antonio Canova and Neoclassical Sculpture Brian Ladd 24 / 25 April 2013 Lecture summary: The Italian sculptor Antonio Canova worked for patrons as eminent as the Pope, Napoleon, the Austrian Habsburgs and the Most Serene Republic of Venice. It is surprising then that this once celebrated artist is largely ignored today. Is it simply a case of an individual artist being out of fashion? Or was an entire art movement discredited for most of the twentieth century, with neoclassical art falling victim to the changing avant-garde? This lecture will explore the development of neoclassical sculpture in Europe during the late 18th century and early 19th century. It will examine how this art came to be associated with political power and authority. A focus will be on the outstanding oeuvre of Antonio Canova (1757-1822), undoubtedly the leading exponent of this movement. Other sculptors will also be discussed, including Jean-Antoine Houdon (French 1741- 1828); Bertel Thorvaldsen (Danish 1770-1844); Johann Gottfried Schadow (Prussian 1764-1850), and John Flaxman (English 1755-1826).

  • Berlin - Wikipedia
    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

  • Exploring the Altes Museum the Altes Museum Or Old Museum Was
    1 Sara Marcus 12-11-18 From Royalty to Bourgeoisie: Exploring the Altes Museum The Altes Museum or Old Museum was constructed in Berlin between 1824-30 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841). Originally known as the “Königliches Museum,” it was commissioned by King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia for the purpose of being the first public art museum in Prussia as well as the first royal museum. As the relationship in the 19th century changed between art, the observer, and who should be a part of that experience, the Altes Museum was erected to embody the idea of Berlin as a center of learning and culture, and to elevate its citizens in the presence of art. The Berlin Museum emerged from a small group of the ruling class and it was first officially demanded and proclaimed by the Art Academy under Friedrich Wilhelm II. (Das Berliner Museum entsteht aus einer kleinen Gruppe der herrschenden Schicht. Öffntlich wurde es zuerst gefordrt und verkundet… in der Kunstakademie unter Friedrich Wilhelm II.)1 After the Wars of Liberation, his son, King Friedrich Wilhelm III, continued to advocate for the foundation of a public art museum to display the collection of artifacts that Prussia had amassed over the years. During the reign of Napoleon, Prussian art was forcefully taken to be displayed in Paris, which alerted the Prussian people that a permanent home to show off their national heritage was necessary.2 While ideas for a museum were already in the air, it is safe to say that the main reason why construction started when it did was in response to Napoleon’s looting.
