Y THE'design of the present Exhibition of Prints is to illustrate the progress the 4rt Engraving, by from the of . of selections -works if the leading artists of the various schools, from the earliest date down to he present time, em- bracing a period of nearly four hundred and fifty years. The arrangement is therefore chronological, and net alphabetical, which latter is the usual mode. The necessity for condensing the Catalogue has rendered it impossible to make any remarks on especial Prints, although very many of them are ex- tremely rare, and in unusual and remarkable state as to impression.

Bodies of Knowledge: The Presentation of Personified Figures in Engraved Allegorical Series Produced in the Netherlands, 1548-1600 Abstract During the second half of the sixteenth century, engraved series of allegorical subjects featuring personified figures flourished for several decades in the Low Countries before falling into disfavor. Designed by the Netherlandsâ?? leading artists and cut by professional engravers, such series were collected primarily by the urban intelligentsia, who appreciated the use of personification for the representation of immaterial concepts and for the transmission of knowledge, both in prints and in public spectacles. The pairing of embodied forms and serial format was particularly well suited to the portrayal of abstract themes with multiple components, such as the Four Elements, Four Seasons, Seven Planets, Five Senses, or Seven Virtues and Seven Vices. While many of the themes had existed prior to their adoption in Netherlandish graphics, their pictorial rendering had rarely been so pervasive or systematic.

In her wide correspondence with mothers in regard to the training of children, she dis- covered the need of a book giving practical advice about pictures for children. A similar report came from the libraries, where the same need had long been noticed at the consulting-desks. The call from art educators and pubhc school teachers has been equally urgent. As the custom of hanging pictures in the schoolroom has become almost universal, the demand has arisen for helpful information in matters of art. I am especially grateful to Mr. Henry Turner Bailey, editor of the School Arts Magazine, and Mr. James Frederick Hopkins, director of the Massachusetts Normal Art School, for their words of encouragement and counsel.

It is a disease that affects a visible sexual organ and it is the commonest single cause of death of women between 40 and 60 years of age. Nevertheless, this type of cancer was infrequently depicted in art paintings. In this article the themes from the breast cancer in famous art paintings are discussed. Key words: breast cancer, art paintings, famous painters 1. INTRODUCTION Science is a systematic knowledge of nature and the physical world, derived from observation and experimentation. Art, on the other hand is the free and creative way of making or doing things that have form and beauty and is based on perceptions and intuition. Artists used their talent in order to depict with the greatest detail possible the human anatomy and later the histology of tissues, helping scientists comprehend better the world and human nature. From the other side, scientific images coming from observation or experimentation can constitute art since they can have form and beauty (BONJER, BRUINING 1999; BALJET 2000; BATISTATOU, CHARALABOPOULOS 2005; KARKABI, CASTEL 2006). Medicine and art have long had a close connection. In fact, the practice of medicine in previous centuries was mostly considered to be art.

  • Museum Plantin- Moretus
    MUSEUM PLANTIN- MORETUS GROUND FLOOR STAIRCASE WELCOME Welcome to the Plantin-Moretus Museum. This was the home and workplace of Chris- tophe Plantin and the Moretus family. For 300 years books were the heart and soul of this place, and they still are. Who lived here? Who worked here? What exactly did they print? What kind of know- ledge and ideas travelled from the house to the four corners of the world, beyond the frontiers of Europe? Downstairs you will meet Christophe Plan- tin: forefather, businessman, manager, hu- manist* and printer. Upstairs you can have a close look at the beautiful books that were printed in this house, from richly illustra- ted bibles to simple almanacs. Here and there you will see reproduc- tions of books that were printed on the premises. They are for you to pick up and enjoy. We wish you a pleasant visit. * From A to Z Humanism? Folio or quarto? What is a breviary? A number of terms need to be explained. At the back of the visitor guide 7 you will find a glossary. THE SMALL DRAWING ROOM 1 THE GOLDEN COMPASSES A 17th-century traveller describes the hous- es of wealthy Antwerp citizens as ‘...solid and constructed with good materials. They are beauti- ful too because they are built in long and straight lines. The entrance gates are adorned with car- vings and in the gardens there are sculptures.’ The Plantin-Moretus Museum is an exam- ple of such a solid and well-built house belonging to an affluent Antwerp family. It contains more than 30 rooms.
