  • The Interest in the Art of the Nazarenes in Slovakia
    The Interest in the Art of the Nazarenes in Slovakia Marta Herucová Abstract HERUCOVÁ, Marta: The Interest in the Art of the Nazarenes in Slovakia. The study is focused on the unknown artworks of Nazarenes preserved in Slovakia. It follows the ways by which came here the paintings, drawings and graphics by Johann Friedrich Overbeck and artists around him. Those were Johann Evangelist Scheffer von Leonhardshoff, Ludwig Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Carl von Blaas and Ferenc Szoldatics (Kupelwieser's and Führich's student). From Slovakia joined the Nazarenes the sculptor and draftsman Joseph Daniel Böhm from Spišské Vlachy; however his interests were wider. In Slovak collections are to be find graphics from the engravers of Düsseldorf School and from Josef Kovatsch reproducing the Nazarene art. The interest in this art was shown by Sigismund Bubics, Bishop of Košice, mentioned Joseph Daniel Böhm, Alojz Rigele, sculptor from Bratislava as well as Willibald Leo Lütgendorff-Leinburg, German art historian and painter, who had roots in Bratislava. Keywords: Nazarenes, Johann Friedrich Overbeck, Slovak art collections, Academies of Art, 19th century n Slovakia, part of former Kingdom of Hungary, there are some excellent but “forgotten” artworks I made by Nazarenes. These artworks, their contexts and related stories, have been omitted in the last European recapitulations of the history and art of Nazarenes. I focused my research on the origins of paintings and drawings and some engravings by first Nazarenes, not on the copies or artworks influenced by them. I followed the way by which they came into Slovak art collections in order to see the extent of interest in such art.

  • Picturing Music in Victorian England Suzanne Fagence Cooper
    Picturing Music in Victorian England A Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Suzanne Fagence Cooper Volume 1 Faculty of Design Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College Brunei University November 2005 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author under the terms of the United Kingdom Copyright Acts. No quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without proper acknowledgement. Abstract This thesis analyses musical imagery created by Victorian artists. It considers paintings, decorative arts and photography, as well as contemporary art criticism and poetry. Focusing on artists associated with Pre-Raphaelitism and a~stheticism, it shows how they used musical subjects to sidestep narrative conventions and concentrate instead on explorations of femininity, colour, mood and sensuality. This thesis begins by considering the musical experience of four artists - Frederic Leighton, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones and James Whistler - and the influence of personal taste on their musical subjects. It then looks at the depiction of non-Western performance, including images of dancing girls. The third chapter explores the links between music and worship, and the subversion of traditional religious iconography by aestheticist artists. Chapter four analyses images of musical weimen, and especially the late-Victorian interest in mermaids and sirens. The theme of sensuality continues with an investigation of the connections between music and colour, by assessing the influence of Renaissance Venice, Wagner and French theories of synaesthesia on the Victorian art-world. The final chapter looks at the interconnectedness of music, nostalgia and bereavement in aestheticist painting.

It is considered by some critics to be Leighton’s best work in portraiture. M. de la Sizeranne writes of this picture: “In the Llffizi, at Florence, in the room filled with artists’ portraits painted by themselves, may be seen the fair, handsome, curly head of the President of the Royal Academy, rising out of a rich red mantle with a gold chain, and with a bas-relief from the Parthenon for a background.
