Similarly at this early stage of his career he absorbed some influence of contemporary landscape painters in Haarlem such as Jan van Goyen, Allart van Everdingen, Cornelis Vroom and Jacob van Mosscher. We intend to illustrate this with a selection of eight earlier works by these artists. However, there are already some remarkable differences to be found. Ruisdael developed a more dramatic effect in the rendering of the different textures of the trees, bushes and plants and the bold presentation of one large clump of oak trees leaning over with its gnarled and twisted trunks and branches highlighted against the dark cloudy sky. Strong lighting hits a sandy patch or a sandy road creating dramatic colour contrasts. These elements characterize his early works from till It is our intention to focus on the revolutionary development of Ruisdael as an artist inventing new heroic-dramatic schemes in composition, colour contrast and light effects. Our aim is to follow this deveopment with a selection of early signed and dated paintings which are key works and and show these different aspects in a a series of most splendid examples, f. Petersburg, Leipzig, München and Paris. Rubens en J. Brueghel I. Ruisdael painted once the landscape for a group portrait of De Keyser Giltaij in: Sutton et al. -

The need for innovative product is constant. Independent inventors and designers are an important source for new product ideas, but it can be a challenge for them to break into the industry. An original idea ― one that is fully developed to a point where it is presentable in either complete drawings or prototype format ― can be seen and it can be sold. To get started as an inventor or designer of toys or games, it’s wise to make an honest evaluation of your personal circumstances, as well as your invention. -

1 “The Times are Unexampled”: Literature in the Age of Machinery, 1830–1850 Constructing the Man of Letters “The whole world here is doing a Tarantula Dance of Political Reform, and has no ear left for literature.” So Carlyle complained to Goethe in August of 1831 (Carlyle 1970–2006: v.327). He was not alone: the great stir surrounding prospects for electoral reform seemed for the moment to crowd aside all other literary interests. The agitation, how- ever, helped to shape a model of critical reflection that gave new weight to literature. The sense of historical rupture announced on all sides was on this view fundamentally a crisis of belief – what a later generation would call an ideological crisis. Traditional forms of faith that under- girded both the English state and personal selfhood were giving way; the times required not merely new political arrangements, but new grounds of identity and belief. Of course, that very designation reflected a skeptical castCOPYRIGHTED of mind. New myths, it seemed, MATERIAL could no longer be found in sacred texts and revelations. They would be derived from sec- ular writings and experience – something that came to be called “litera- ture” in our modern sense of the term. And the best guide to that trove of possibility would be a figure known as “the man of letters.” The most resonant versions of this story were honed through an unlikely literary exchange. In 1831 Carlyle (1795–1881), struggling to eke out a living as an author in the remote Scottish hamlet of Craigenputtoch, came upon “The Spirit of the Age,” a series of articles 99780631220824_4_001.indd780631220824_4_001.indd 2277 112/29/20082/29/2008 33:15:55:15:55 PPMM 28 Literature in the Age of Machinery, 1830–1850 in the London Examiner by John Stuart Mill (1806–73).
