Art History Time Line Art History Timeline Prehistoric Art (c.30,000-2000 BC) Cave painting, Hall of Bulls (Lascaux, France c15,000 BC) In the history of art, prehistoric art is all art produced in preliterate, prehistorical cultures beginning somewhere in very late geological history, and generally continuing until that culture either develops writing or other methods of record-keeping, or makes significant contact with another culture that has, and that makes some record of major historical events. At this point ancient art begins, for the older literate cultures. The end-date for what is covered by the term thus varies greatly between different parts of the world. Ancient Egyptian Art (c.3000-30BC) Egyptian Tomb paintings. The Queen playing chess, (Tomb Nefertari, Thebes, c1255BC) Art of ancient Egypt Description Description Ancient Egyptian art refers art produced in ancient Egypt between the 31st century BC and the 4th century AD. It includes paintings, sculptures, drawings on papyrus, faience, jewelry, ivories, architecture, and other art media. It is also very conservative: the art style changed very little over time. Classical Greek Art (c.500-320BC) Myrons Discus Thrower (c.450BC) replica Ancient Greek art stands out among that of other ancient cultures for its development of naturalistic but idealized depictions of the human body, in which largely nude male figures were generally the focus of innovation. Ancient Rome c.509BC-330AD Colosseum, (70-80 AD, Temple of Peace, Rome) The art of Ancient Rome and its Empire includes architecture, painting, sculpture and mosaic work. Luxury objects in metal-work, gem engraving, ivory carvings, and glass are sometimes considered to be minor forms of Roman art, although they were not considered as such at the time. Byzantine Art (c.300-1204) Icon The Virgin Orans, (1037-61 mosaic, Saint Sophia Cathedral, Kiev) Byzantine art comprises the body of Christian Greek artistic products of the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the nations and states that inherited culturally from the empire. Gothic Art (c.1140-1500) Chatres Cathedral, (1193-1250, central portal, France) Gothic art was a style of medieval art that developed in Northern France out of Romanesque art in the 12th century AD, led by the concurrent development of Gothic architecture. It spread to all of Western Europe, and much of Southern and Central Europe, never quite effacing more classical styles in Italy. Early Renaissance (c.1300-1500) Giotto, The Deposition, (c1304, fresco, Arena Chapel, Padua, Italy) The Renaissance was a period in European history marking the transition from the Middle Ages to Modernity and covering the 15th and 16th centuries. It occurred after the Crisis of the Late Middle Ages and was associated with great social change. Northern Renaissance (c.1400-1500) Jan Van Eyke, The Arnolfini Wedding, (1434, oil on wood panel, National Gallery London) The Northern Renaissance was the Renaissance that occurred in Europe north of the Alps. From the last years of the 15th century, its Renaissance spread around Europe. High Renaissance (c.1490-1527) Vitruvian Man, Leonardo Da Vinci, (c.1485-90, pen and ink with wash over metal point on paper, Venice, Italy) In art history, the High Renaissance is a short period of the most exceptional artistic production in the Italian states, particularly Rome, capital of the Papal States, and in Florence, during the Italian Renaissance. Mannerism (c.1520-1600) Pontormo, Deposition from the Cross, (c.1526- 8,oil on panel, Church of Santa Felicita, Florence) Mannerism, also known as Late Renaissance, is a style in European art that emerged in the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520, spreading by about 1530 and lasting until about the end of the 16th century in Italy, when the Baroque style largely replaced it. Baroque (c.1600-1750) Caravaggio, The Supper at Emmaus, (1600-01, oil on canvas, National Gallery London) The Baroque is a style of architecture, music, dance, painting, sculpture and other arts that flourished in Europe from the early 17th century until the 1740s. Dutch Golden Age (c.1620-1700) Johannes Vermeer, The Pearl Earring, (1666- 67, The Hague, oil on canvas) The Dutch Golden Age was a period in the history of the Netherlands, roughly spanning the era from 1581 to 1672, in which Dutch trade, science, and art and the Dutch military were among the most acclaimed in the world. The first section is characterized by the Eighty Years' War, which ended in 1648. Rococo (c.1700-1800) Francois Boucher, Diane Bathing, (1742, oil on canvas, Louvre, Paris) Rococo, less commonly Roccoco or Late Baroque, is an exceptionally ornamental and theatrical style of architecture, art and decoration which combines asymmetry, scrolling curves, gilding, white and pastel colors, sculpted molding, and trompe l'oeil frescoes to create surprise and the illusion of motion and drama. Neo-Classicism (c.1750-1850) Jacques-Louis David, The Oath of the Horatii, (1784, Oil on canvas, Louvre, Paris) Neoclassicism was a Western cultural movement in the decorative and visual arts, literature, theatre, music, and architecture that drew inspiration from the art and culture of classical antiquity. Romanticism (c.1800-80) Eugene Delacroix, Jacob Wrestling with the Angel, (1861, oil on canvas) Romanticism was an artistic, literary, musical and intellectual movement that originated in Europe towards the end of the 18th century, and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 to 1890. Ukiyo-e (c.17th-20th centuries) Ando Hiroshige, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, (1823-29, woodblock print, copies in MOMA and British Museum, London) Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Its artists produced woodblock prints and paintings of such subjects as female beauties; kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers; scenes from history and folk tales; travel scenes and landscapes; flora and fauna; and erotica. Pre-Raphaelites (1848-1853) Millais, Ophelia, (1851-52, Tate London, Oil on canvas) The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of English painters, poets, and art critics, founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti, Realism 1830s-50s Millet, The Angelus (1857-59, oil on canvas, Musee D’Orsay Paris) Realism, sometimes called naturalism, in the arts is generally the attempt to represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality and avoiding speculative fiction and supernatural elements. Impressionism 1870s-90s Claude Monet, Poppies, (c.1876, Musee D’Orsay Paris, oil on canvas) Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial ... Post-Impressionism (c.1880-1905) Van Gogh, Starry Night, (1889, MOMA New York, oil on canvas) Post-Impressionism (also spelled Postimpressionism) is a predominantly French art movement that developed roughly between 1886 and 1905, from the last ... Pointillism/Neo-Impressionism (1886-c1900) Georges Seurat, La Grande Jatte, (1884-86, oil on canvas, The Art Institute, Chicago.) Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. Art Nouveau 1890-1905 Gustave Klimt, The Kiss, (1907-08,oil and gold leaf on canvas, Osterreichische Galerie, Vienna) Art Nouveau is an international style of art, architecture and applied art, especially the decorative arts, known in different languages by different names: Jugendstil in German, Stile Liberty in Italian, Modernismo catalán in Spanish, etc. In English it is also known as the Modern Style. Fauvism (1900-20) Henri Matisse, The Dance, (1909 MOMA, New York, oil on canvas) Fauvism Fauvism is the style of les Fauves (French for "the wild beasts"), a group of early 20th-century modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. Expressionism (c.1890-1934) Edvard Munch, The Scream, (1893, oil tempera and pastel on cardboard, National Gallery Oslo) Expressionism Expressionism is a modernist movement, initially in poetry and painting, originating in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas. Cubism (1907-14) Pablo Picasso, Les Demoiselles D’Avignon, (1907, oil on canvas, MOMA, New York) Cubism is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century. .

  • Some Remarks on the Origin of Ideology of Divine Warfare in Early Dynastic Lagaš
    ISSN 2518-1521 (Online), ISSN 2226-2830 (Print) ВІСНИК МАРІУПОЛЬСЬКОГО ДЕРЖАВНОГО УНІВЕРСИТЕТУ СЕРІЯ: ІСТОРІЯ. ПОЛІТОЛОГІЯ, 2017, ВИП. 18 The historiographic review of M. Hrushevsky’s sociological researches emphasized the many-sided nature of the prominent historian’s scientific heritage. Especially it concerns the representatives of the emigrant and contemporary Ukrainian historical science. The historians of diaspora (L.Vynar, S. Zabrovarny, O. Pritsak) proved that the sociological-comparative method used by M. Hrushevsky in the historical research as social, economic and cultural synthesis of the nation’s history enhanced the capabilities to study it more systematically. It was stated that the outstanding scientist popularized the social history of Ukraine in the West-European scientific community with the help of his public lectures on historic and sociological topics. The contemporary Ukrainian historians (V. Bilodid, O. Kopylenko, V. Telvak, L. Chugaevska, I. Shostak, O. Yas and others) analysed the historian’s sociological works and stated world outlook evolution of Mykhailo Hrushevsky from the romantic narodnik movement to the critical rethinking of sociology. The analysis of M. Hrushevsky’s sociological heritage defined the interrelation of “public and national” and the state system as well as the main issues of sociology as a science and sociological ideas in Ukrainian national studies. The contemporary historians traced rethinking the historian’s research strategies. Key words: sociological works, emigrant period, historiographic analysis, Ukrainian historians, historians of diaspora, contemporary scientists. УДК 355.48(358) V.

The hope to find evidence of a prehistoric lacustrine settlement on the Degersee dates back to the 19th cen- tury when priest, teacher, cartographer and antiquarian Konrad Miller, influenced by the ‘conta- gious’ ‘Pfahlbaufieber’ triggered by the Obermeilen discovery on Lake Zurich (F.

  • Common Medieval Pigments
    Common Medieval Pigments I. Introduction a. Medieval Manuscripts b. Medieval Pigments II. Common Medieval Pigments a. Earths b. Minerals c. Manufactured d. Organics III. Identification Techniques a. Destructive b. Non-Destructive IV. Conclusions V. References 1 I. Introduction Within the period of time formerly known as the “Dark Ages” there existed a production of numerous objects of art containing brilliant and glorious colors that illuminated the medieval mind and so deeply reflected the content they embellished. This glimmer in the medieval world owes much of its brilliance to simple elements such as clay, natural minerals and insects, common ingredients in the pigments used in the production of medieval illuminations. The pigments used in medieval manuscripts varied by geographic location, time period and materials available. This paper offers an introduction to the common medieval palette used in illuminated manuscripts before 1500. The different methods that have been utilized for the identification of these pigments will be discussed, with encouragement to further develop and research non- destructive methods of testing. A. Medieval Manuscripts Soon after the primary sacred text in the Christian church came to be called the Bible, or “the book”, many manuscripts based on this content were produced (Diringer 21). All books during this period were written by hand, until the invention of the printing press in the 15th century. Book illumination, or the illumination of manuscripts, is the art of embellishing parchment manuscript books with painted pictures, ornamental letters and designs. The technical term for “illuminated” refers to being “light up” with bright colors. John W. Bradley writes, “Perfect illumination must contain both colors and metals”(Diringer 21).

  • Chapter 1 Material Information Carriers
    WHO RUNS THE WORLD: DATA CHAPTER 1 MATERIAL INFORMATION CARRIERS: HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT Róbert JÁGER* *JUDr. PhDr. PhD. PhD. Matej Bel University, Faculty of Law, Department of History of State and Law, Banská Bystrica, Slovakia e-mail: [email protected] DOI: 10.26650/B/ET06.2020.011.01 Abstract In this study, we will briefly try to describe what material information carriers were like in each period of the development of human society, what the advantages or disadvantages of these carriers were, and how society changed with the change of the material information carriers themselves. In conclusion, we will highlight an interesting fact of current development: the digitization of material information carriers, the separation of the information itself from its material carrier, and the risk that it will face in the future. Keywords: Data, Material information, Material information carriers, History 2 MATERIAL INFORMATION CARRIERS: HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT Introduction Material information carriers are an integral part of the development of human society. The historical development of human society is based primarily on the knowledge that we have been left with by our predecessors, and secondly, on the medium through which this knowledge has been recorded. From the earliest times of our existence, information that was to be long-term or permanently preserved was inevitably linked to a particular material carrier (stone, clay tablet, papyrus, wax plates, birch bark, animal skin, parchment, and later paper which became the primary carrier of information in the modern era, and in the current period and the period to come, an era of digital information media is emerging).

  • The Translucent Skin of the Present
    Michele Ciacciofera The Translucent Skin of The Present Acting with materials, pictograms, colors, signs and texture, this body of works organically want to take anyone lives and comes at Mirrored Gardens through a dimension in which my art prac- tice, in a variety of materials including different ceramic techniques, mythological forms, a col- lection of visionary books, textiles etc. offers a vision of an unlimited life with no beginning and mostly no end as a flowing liquid. Drawing from both abstract and figurative forms, craft tradition and writings, combined with references from literature, anthropology, archaeology and history, this installation intends to push these practices into new directions, bringing them together to create an original and diver- gent visual language his own, in a constant dialogue with the natural surroundings and the local culture through a pluralism of traditions where no dominant experience, skill or culture persists. These works are mainly characterized by a sense of exploration of the human forms and his orig- inal practices as writing, drawing, praying. Exploring the reality in all its vastness and crossing ages and cultures from the Neolithic, as a fundamental starting reference for human creativity, to now these materials, figures and forms want to resist easy categorization, allowing for different layers of readings and experiences. My practice compares to that of an archaeologist and anthropologist as an art of excavation impregnated by mythology, popular legends and real experiences through the most important historical venues in the Mediterranean culture as the two islands of Sardinia and Sicily are. This research forms part of my personal sociological and anthropological education, it is in- scribed in my Mediterranean DNA, as a man born in Sardinia and raised in Sicily, among the nuraghi, the Greek temples and the fragments of antiquities that sometimes still emerge from the ground as flowers do.

  • Origin and Development of Writing in Ancient Egypt
    Origin and Development of Writing in Ancient Egypt Professor Abdelhalim Nureldin Man underwent two main prehistoric phases: food collection and food production. The first phase, food collection, involved a daily search for sustainable food in which man went out hunting, fishing or collecting plant roots. During this phase, man had to move from one place to another in search of shelter, since he had no clothes to protect his body against the heat of summer and chillness of winter. We do not know precisely when the food collection phase began, but we do know that it ended when man started to produce food. The second phase, food production, resulted in man’s giant achievements, such as raising animals, discovering fire and learning agriculture, all of which contributed to his stability. Raising animals provided man with a surplus of food, and the discovery of fire with the ability to cook, make pottery, warm himself in winter and illuminate moonless nights. Agriculture, which was connected with annual river floods, marked the point at which man started to lead a relatively stable life. Man lived next to his land, divided the year into crop rotations, sowed seeds, harvested the grain, made linen clothes, built a family and exchanged interests with neighboring communities. The stability offered by this kind of life helped transfer man from food collection to intellectual and artistic creation, giving him time to observe the vast universe and ponder on the nature of different cosmic forces. He noticed that the sun rises then sets, that the moon appears at night and disappears in the morning, that plants grow again when harvested and that the river floods on an annual basis.
