Flight into Egypt, 1603-4, oil on canvas The Carracci family of Bologna consisted of two brothers, Agostino (1557-1602) and Annibale (1560-1609), and their cousin Ludovico (1556-1619). In Bologna in the 1580s the Carracci had organized gatherings of artists called the Accademia degli Incamminati (academy of the initiated). It was one of the several such informal groups that enabled artists to discuss problems and practice drawing in an atmosphere calmer and more studious than that of a painter’s workshop. The term ‘academy’ was more generally applied at the time to literary associations, membership of which conferred intellectual rank.

  • Money, History and Energy Accounting Essay Author: Skip Sievert June 2008 Open Source Information
    Some Historic aspects of money... Money, History and Energy accounting Essay author: Skip Sievert June 2008 open source information. The Technocracy Technate design uses Energy accounting as the viable alternative to the current Price System. Energy Accounting- Fezer. The Emergence of money The use of barter like methods may date back to at least 100,000 years ago. To organize production and to distribute goods and services among their populations, pre- market economies relied on tradition, top-down command, or community cooperation. Relations of reciprocity and/or redistribution substituted for market exchange. Trading in red ochre is attested in Swaziland. Shell jewellery in the form of strung beads also dates back to this period and had the basic attributes needed of commodity money. In cultures where metal working was unknown... shell or ivory jewellery was the most divisible, easily stored and transportable, relatively scarce, and impossible to counterfeit type of object that could be made into a coveted stylized ornament or trading object. It is highly unlikely that there were formal markets in 100,000 B.P. Nevertheless... something akin to our currently used concept of money was useful in frequent transactions of hunter-gatherer cultures, possibly for such things as bride purchase, prostitution, splitting possessions upon death, tribute, obtaining otherwise scarce objects or material, inter-tribal trade in hunting ground rights.. and acquiring handcrafted implements. All of these transactions suffer from some basic problems of barter — they require an improbable coincidence of wants or events. History of the beginnings of our current system Sumerian shell money below. Sumer was a collection of city states around the Lower Tigris and Euphrates rivers in what is now southern Iraq.

  • 18Th Century. France and Venice
    18th century. France and Venice Antoine Watteau (1684 – 1721) was a French painter whose brief career spurred the revival of interest in colour and movement, as seen in the tradition of Correggio and Rubens. He revitalised the waning Baroque style, shifting it to the less severe, more naturalistic, less formally classical, Rococo. Watteau is credited with inventing the genre of fêtes galantes, scenes of bucolic and idyllic charm, suffused with a theatrical air. Some of his best known subjects were drawn from the world of Italian comedy and ballet. The Love Song c1717 The Embarcation for Cythera 1717 The Embarkation for Cythera portrays a "fête galante"; an amorous celebration or party enjoyed by the aristocracy of France during the Régence after the death of Louis XIV, which is generally seen as a period of dissipation and pleasure, and peace, after the sombre last years of the previous reign. The work celebrates love, with many cupids flying around the couples and pushing them closer together, as well as the statue of Venus.There are three pairs of lovers in the foreground. While the couple on the right by the statue are still engaged in their passionate tryst, another couple rises to follow a third pair down the hill, although the woman of the third pair glances back fondly at the goddess’s sacred grove. At the foot of the hill, several more happy couples are preparing to board the golden boat at the left. With its light and wispy brushstrokes, the hazy landscape in the background does not give any clues about the season, or whether it is dawn or dusk.

  • Market Values in Eighteenth-Century Rome
    Market values in eighteenth-century Rome Review of: The Art Market in Rome in the Eighteenth Century: A Study in the Social History of Art, edited by Paolo Coen, Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2018 [Studies in the History of Collecting and Art Markets, vol. 5], xii + 234 pp., 80 colour illus., €116/$134 hdbk, ISBN 978-90-04-33699-5. Jeffrey Collins Anyone who doubts that a society’s art market reveals its underlying values need only consider the case of Inigo Philbrick, the high-flying young dealer who sold investors overlapping shares of the same blue-chip contemporary works and who was recently apprehended in Vanuatu. The present volume boasts no one quite so colourful, though it too concerns a moment in which the business side of art acquired new prominence. Based on an international congress held at Rome’s Palazzo Barberini, the anthology’s ten chapters consider diverse facets of art’s production, circulation, and recirculation in early modern Rome, unfortunately not all centred on the time and place announced in the title. This is a limitation in a study of art markets, which are typically localized and responsive to shifting conditions. While less focused than one would wish, the collection nonetheless illuminates a key phase in the market’s development while contextualizing our own age of glossy magazines, glamorous fairs, ‘specullectors’, and illicit trafficking of cultural property. Both symposium and anthology reflect the efforts of Paolo Coen, professor of the history of art at the Università degli Studi di Teramo, to bring to Rome something of the economic perspective long established in studies of the seventeenth-century Netherlands.

Through the art that she both commissioned and purchased, she developed an identity as powerful politically, nurturing, educated, fashionable, and Italianate. Through this patronage, Caroline became influential on stylish, female patronage in both Italy and France.

Orientadora: Profª. Drª. ELAINE FARIAS VELOSO HIRATA Linha de Pesquisa: REPRESENTAÇÕES SIMBÓLICAS EM ARQUEOLOGIA São Paulo 2008 RESUMO Este trabalho busca a elaboração de um quadro interpretativo que possibilite analisar o desenvolvimento do esquema decorativo presente nas salas do trono dos palácios construídos pelos reis assírios durante o período que veio a ser conhecido como neo- assírio (934 – 609 a.C.). Entendemos como esquema decorativo a presença de imagens e textos inseridos em um contexto arquitetural. Temos por objetivo demonstrar que a evolução do esquema decorativo, dada sua importância como veículo da retórica real, reflete a transformação da política e da ideologia imperial, bem como das fronteiras do império, ao longo do período neo-assírio. Palavras-chave: Assíria, Palácio, Iconografia, Arqueologia, Ideologia. 2 ABSTRACT The aim of this work is the elaboration of a interpretative framework that allow us to analyze the development of the decorative scheme of the throne rooms located at the palaces built by the Assyrians kings during the period that become known as Neo- Assyrian (934 – 609 BC). We consider decorative scheme as being the presence of texts and images in an architectural setting.
