PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION THE object of this series oi textbooks is to provide concise teachable histories of art for class-room use in schools and colleges. The limited time given to the study of art in the average educational institution has not only dictated the condensed style of the volumes, but has limited their scope oi matter to the general features of art history. Archaeological discussions on special subjects and ;esthetic theories have been avoided. The main facts of history as settled by the best authorities are given. If the reader choose to enter into particulars the bibUography cited at the head of each chapter will be found helpful. Illustrations have been introduced as sight-help to the te.xt, and, to avoid repetition, abbreviations have been used wherever practicable. The enumeration of the principal works of a school, or period, and where they may be found, which follows each chapter, may be serviceable to trav- elling students in Europe. This volume on painting, the first of the series, omits mention of such work in Arabic, Indian, Chinese, and Per- sian art as may come properly under the head of Ornament. In treating of individual painters it has been thought best to give a short critical estimate of the man and his rank among the painters of his time rather than the detailed facts of his life. Students who wish accounts of the lives of the painters should use Vasari and the various encyclo- pedias and histories cited in the bibhography, in connection with this text-book. „ , , „ C. VAN JOHN-^ DYKE October, 1894 PREFACE TO REVISED EDITION THE WT)- favorable reception which this httle text- book has met with at the hands of the pubhc en- titles it to a new dress of type, new illustrations, and a thorough revision of the written matter. In giving these there has been an attempt to modernize the book without materiall}' changing or expanding it. The original plan of making it merely an outline sketch of the history of painting — something that the student may fill in by the aid of the cited bibliography — has been retained. Addi- tions to the text chiefly concern recently discovered ma- terials, new matter modifying perhaps the history of a school, newly discovered artists in the old schools, or newly arrived painters in the present-day schools. There has been much questioning in recent years of the attribu- tions of the old masters and this, too, has necessitated some modification of critical opinion in individual cases. Art history grows with the years and the books that record it are in need of frequent revision. The study of the history of painting has received great help in modern times through photography. It is now possible with the countless good photographs and repro- ductions to carry on the study at home. This is, of course, not so satisfactory as seeing the original pictures, but is, nevertheless, to be recommended as a substitute. In the General Bibliography will be found reference to X PREFACE TO REVISED EDITION books wholly made up of reproductions which can be bought at a low price and furnish excellent sight-help to the written text. Catalogues of some of the European galleries are also listed and should be used for their con- cise biographies of painters. As for the pictures in the European galleries I do not hesitate, immodest though it be, to recommend my own critical notes upon them pub- hshed under the general title of Neiv Guides to Old Masters. Acknowledgments are made to the respective publishers of Walters, Art of the Greeks, Isham, History of American Painting, Henderson, Constable, Flinders-Petrie, Arts and Crafts of Egypt, and the fine series of art histories by Perrot and Chipiez, for permission to reproduce a few illustrations from these publications.

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

  • Human Rights and History a Challenge for Education
    edited by Rainer Huhle HUMAN RIGHTS AND HISTORY A CHALLENGE FOR EDUCATION edited by Rainer Huhle H UMAN The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Genocide Convention of 1948 were promulgated as an unequivocal R response to the crimes committed under National Socialism. Human rights thus served as a universal response to concrete IGHTS historical experiences of injustice, which remains valid to the present day. As such, the Universal Declaration and the Genocide Convention serve as a key link between human rights education and historical learning. AND This volume elucidates the debates surrounding the historical development of human rights after 1945. The authors exam- H ine a number of specific human rights, including the prohibition of discrimination, freedom of opinion, the right to asylum ISTORY and the prohibition of slavery and forced labor, to consider how different historical experiences and legal traditions shaped their formulation. Through the examples of Latin America and the former Soviet Union, they explore the connections · A CHALLENGE FOR EDUCATION between human rights movements and human rights education. Finally, they address current challenges in human rights education to elucidate the role of historical experience in education.

  • {Dоwnlоаd/Rеаd PDF Bооk} Arthur Melville Kindle
    ARTHUR MELVILLE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Kenneth McConkey,Charlotte Topsfield | 136 pages | 10 Dec 2015 | National Galleries of Scotland | 9781906270872 | English | Edinburgh, United Kingdom Arthur Melville – | Tate Read the latest visit information, including hours. Although he also worked in oils, Arthur Melville is acclaimed primarily for his distinctive and unorthodox watercolours, which combine precise control with looseness and felicitous chance effects. His colour was often dropped on the paper in rich, full spots or blobs rather than applied with any definite brush-marks. The colour floats into little pools, with the white of the ground softening each touch. He was the most exact of craftsmen; his work is not haphazard and accidental, as might be rashly thought. Those blots in his drawings, which seem meaningless, disorderly and chaotic, are actually organised with the utmost care to lead the way to the foreseen result. Often he would put a glass over his picture and try the effect of spots of different colour on the glass before applying them to the surface of his paper. When he was in his early twenties his penchant for travel and adventure led him to embark on a journey to the Middle East, which was to be the defining event of his career. In Melville travelled to Cairo where he remained for nearly a year before following the British imperial route to Aden and Karachi Kurrachee. Melville, though comparatively little known during his lifetime, was one of the most powerful influences in the contemporary art of his day, especially in his broad decorative treatment with water-colour, which influenced the Glasgow Boys.

  • Seeing and Tagging Things in Pictures
    MICHAEL HANCHER Seeing and Tagging Things in Pictures What men or gods are these? What maidens loth? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy? —John Keats, ‘‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’’ Tagging Magritte A RT UK, FORMERLY KNOWN AS Your Paintings, is an ambitious project to document and make accessible online all the paintings that are held by public museums in Great Britain. Launched at the National Gallery in June 2011, it was initially supported by the British Broadcasting Corpo- ration and the Public Catalogue Foundation (now also renamed Art UK), a registered charity established in 2003.1 By August 2015, more than two hundred thousand paintings had been photographed for the project’s data- base.2 Basic metadata for each painting was supplied by museum profes- sionals, but more detailed metadata was crowdsourced by online volunteers, who ‘‘tagged’’ individual images with descriptive terms that could be entered in a search engine to call up relevant paintings. An interim history of the project noted that economy was a major incentive for the crowdsourcing: ‘‘It was obvious that it would be prohibitively expensive to pay expert fine art cataloguers to describe all 200,000 paintings systematically and that some sort of voluntary system would have to be devised.’’ Crowdsourcing prom- ised the contributing museums other benefits as well, including ‘‘the poten- tial to engage both existing and new audiences,’’ and the discovery of vernacular (rather than expert) search terms responsive to the interests of ‘‘the widest set of potential users.’’3 abstract Despite modernist precepts, digital projects that use crowdsourcing to annotate large collections of images of paintings and book illustrations with ‘‘tags’’ have encouraged viewers to see things in pictures and to say what they see.

  • Two Books on Ancient Perspective Illustration Jim Barnes, Architect -- 2Nd August 2011
    REVIEW: Two books on ancient Perspective illustration Jim Barnes, Architect -- 2nd August 2011 Alan M.G. Little; Roman Perspective Painting and the Ancient Stage , 1971, ~71 pages. John White; The Birth and Rebirth of Pictorial Space , 1957, Chapter XVI, 36 pages. These are two good books by two very fine researchers; and I recommend them for the study of ancient Greek and Roman perspective illustration. Alan M.G. Little’s career goes back to the 1930s when he received grant funding to research ancient Greek and Roman theater while serving on Harvard’s faculty. His lifetime study in this specialty led to this 1971 publication on Roman painting. Little starts by explaining that prior archaeological expertise sorted the ancient Roman frescos of Pompeii into four epochs, called “Styles”. His book goes on to provide compelling reason to believe that certain Roman frescos, especially during the Second Style epoch, are reproductions of ancient theatrical stage sets. Citing Plutarch’s biography of Alcibiades (c. 450-404 B.C.), Little recites the historical account of theater scenery first being transplanted onto the walls of ancient Athenian homes. We have no surviving Greek wall paintings today, but we know that Roman murals were copied repetitively, the same picture often copied in several places, even among the tiny number of Roman specimens surviving to our modern age. Greek stage set design similarly followed a conservative tradition; a single format was used repeatedly; while only details were varied. Quoting ancient sources, such as Plato’s Republic (c. 380 B.C.), Alan Little shows how the archetypical elements of Greek stage sets appear in Roman murals.
