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).

  • Staatliche Museen Zu Berlin September 24–29, 2017 September, 2017
    Staatliche Museen zu Berlin September 24–29, 2017 September, 2017 Dear PREP Participants Welcome back to PREP and Willkommen in Berlin! It is wonderful to have you all here. We hope the coming week will be as interesting and insightful as the week we spent in New York in February. Over the coming days, we aim to introduce you to the key re- sources Berlin has to offer to researchers studying art losses in the Nazi-Era and also to other colleagues here in Berlin who are involved in provenance research in a variety of ways. We would also like to make you familiar with some of the institutions that are part of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and give you an idea of the work they are doing with regard to provenance research. Most of all, however, we would like to provide the setting in which you can continue the conversations you began in New York and carry on building the network that is PREP. We have asked you to contribute to quite a few of the events – thank you all for your many ideas and suggestions! We have tried to build PREP around the participants and your expertise and input are crucial to the success of the program. This applies not only to the coming week, but also to the future develop- ment of the PREP-Network. There are two ways in which we hope you will contribute to the long term success of PREP. One of these is that we hope you will all keep in touch after you leave Berlin and continue supporting each other in the impor- tant work you do.

  • Abildgaard and Schadow in Copenhagen 1791, RIHA Journal
    RIHA Journal 0019 | 21 March 2011 "Man müsse keine Statue Equestre machen": Abildgaard and Schadow in Copenhagen 1791* Patrick Kragelund Peer-review and editing organized by: Danmarks Kunstbibliotek / The Danish National Art Library, Copenhagen Reviewers: Claudia Czok, Thomas Lederballe Abstract In connection with the project of erecting an equestrian statue for King Frederick the Great of Prussia, the Berlin sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow was in the autumn 1791 sent on a research tour to the three Baltic capitals, Stockholm, St. Petersburg and Copenhagen. Here he studied and discussed similar recent projects with fellow artists, and brought reports back to Berlin on the equestrian statues by Pierre Hubert L'Archevêque and Johan Tobias Sergel (Gustavus Adolphus in Stockholm), by Étienne Maurice Falconet (Peter the Great in St. Petersburg) and by Jacques François Joseph Saly (Frederick V in Copenhagen). Documents not previously published throw new light on the contacts Schadow during these travels established with the Danish painter Nicolai Abildgaard, a contact, it is here argued, that strengthened Schadow's commitment to use a historically accurate, more realistic and less idealised stylistic idiom when depicting great figures from the national past. Contents Introduction Schadow's Baltic Tour Schadow's Ausführlicher Bericht Schadow's letter Frederick the Great in Copenhagen and Sokrates in Berlin Appendix I Appendix II Appendix III Introduction [1] A hitherto unpublished letter from the German sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow (1764-1850)1 to the Danish painter Nicolai Abildgaard (1743-1809) throws new light on the friendship and shared artistic ideals of these two artists. The link between Schadow and Abildgaard was not of course unknown.

John Boyle O'Reilly. PREFACE We had at first intended that this should be a book without a preface, and indeed it needs none, for it speaks in no uncer- tain tones for itself; but on reconsideration we decided that it would be more seemly to give a short explanation of our aim, our motives, and our methods. As a result of innumerable inquiries which have come to us during our experience as educators, we have been forced to the conclusion that the performances of the Irish race in many fields of endeavor are entirely unknown to most people, and that even to the elect they are not nearly so well known as they deserve to be. Hence there came to us the thought of placing on record, in an accessible, comprehensive, and permanent form, an outline of the whole range of Irish achievement dur- ing the last two thousand years.
