"The Alte Pinakothek has been extremely generous in offering works by old masters from its collection illustrating its wealth of northern and southern baroque painting. The quality level is superb. The American public is in for a rare treat." The collection was started by members of the ruling Wittelsbach family, Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria (ruled 1508-1550) and his wife Jacobaea of Baden, and augmented by subsequent family members, including Maximilian I (ruled 1597-1651), a passionate collector of Durers, and Max Emanuel (ruled 1679-1726).

  • The Implementation of Chiaroscuro Visual Characters Using Woodcut Printmaking Technique on Textile
    6th Bandung Creative Movement International Conference in Creative Industries 2019 (6th BCM 2019) The Implementation of Chiaroscuro Visual Characters Using Woodcut Printmaking Technique on Textile Mochammad Sigit Ramadhan1 1Craft Textile and Fashion, School of Creative Industries, Telkom University, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract One of the characteristics in the 15th century Renaissance that there was a dramatic visual expression in the worNs of art, especially painting. ,t‘s usually visualized Ey the artists at that time with the use of the light-dark principle on the objects presented in the artwork. This light-dark principle is known as chiaroscuro, and in the history of its development this chiaroscuro principle was applied also in printmaking by several artists in Europe. The chiaroscuro character can be built with the composition of color values with different intensities through the process of printing a matrix on the print media. There are two methods that can be used to produce color printmaking work, multi-block and reduction method that have their own advantages and disadvantages in visualizing the chiaroscuro principle. In addition to paper materials, the application of woodcut printmaking is also carried out on textile materials known as block-printing. However, there are not many works on textile materials that use the chiaroscuro principle because in general the coloring character in the visual image or design used tends to be solid color. Based on the explanation, there is an opportunity to apply the visual chiaro- scuro character to the textile materials by using woodcut printmaking technique. The use of woodcut printmaking technique allows artist to produce a number of different color values by referring to the light layer falling on the object, so that the impression of volume and depth created in the artwork will be more visible.

  • Young Woman Feeding a Parrot
    Young Woman Feeding a Parrot 1663 Frans van Mieris oil on panel (Leiden 1635 – 1681 Leiden) 22.4 x 17.7 cm formerly signed and dated: “F.van Mieris fect Anno 1663” FM-112 How To Cite © 2017 Leiden Gallery Young Woman Feeding a Parrot Page 2 of 15 Quentin Buvelot, "Young Woman Feeding a Parrot", (FM-112), in The Leiden Collection Catalogue, Arthur K. Wheelock Jr., Ed., New York, 2017 http://www.theleidencollection.com/archive/ This page is available on the site's Archive. PDF of every version of this page is available on the Archive, and the Archive is managed by a permanent URL. Archival copies will never be deleted. New versions are added only when a substantive change to the narrative occurs. Frans van Mieris’s fame derives from his interior genre scenes depicting the daily affairs of wealthy Dutch citizens.[1] Many of these paintings consist of two people interacting with each other in some idle fashion, but, as in this stunning painting, he also portrayed single figures relaxing within their domestic spheres. Here, within this darkened room,[2] a richly dressed young woman with a fashionable hairstyle has just interrupted her needlework—a needle cushion is on her lap and a thimble is on one of her fingers—to feed the tame gray parrot sitting on one of the perches of a fine wooden stand. Parrots were kept as pets in the seventeenth century, and Van Mieris Fig 1. “Maeghde-Wapen,” [3] depicted them on other occasions in his genre scenes. He may have engraving from Jacob Cats, painted this exotic bird, a Psittacus eritachus, for no other reason than to Houwelyck (Haarlem, 1642), with “Leer-sucht” (eagerness to emphasize the luxurious surroundings.[4] Notably, though, in images of the learn) depicted by the woman at the left Virgin Mary and in marriage portraits, parrots often alluded to virtuousness or marital chastity.

  • A Demonstration of Painting in Oils in the Chiaroscuro
    A DEMONSTRATION OF PAINTING IN OILS IN THE CHIAROSCURO (‘Light-dark’) METHOD by local award-winning artist KAY SPARKES Chiaroscuro (Italian for 'light-dark'), in art, is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. It is also a technical term used by artists and art historians for the use of contrasts of light to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects and figures. Similar effects in cinema and photography also are called chiaroscuro. St. Peter in Prison The underlying principle is that solidity of form is best achieved by Rembrandt, 1631 by the light falling against it. Artists known for developing the technique include Leonardo Da Vinci, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Goya and Rembrandt. It is one of the modes for painting colour in Renaissance art. ABOUT KAY SPARKES Kay was born and grew up on the land near Gulgong, Central Western NSW. Music has always been a major part of her life. When she moved to Sydney she worked in the music industry Red Jug and Pears by and sang professionally. Kay Sparkes Kay moved to Maitland in 1996 where she began to explore her love of art and in 2006, friend and artist James Casey introduced her to canvas and oil and the use of the old master’s techniques – light and shadow ( the chiaroscuro technique). Kay loves painting and stuff we eat, touch and use everyday and those things become the subjects of her still life artworks. Kay has won many prizes including the Maitland Art Prize and Newcastle Art Prize.
