  • * Diploma Lecture Series 2012 Absolutism to Enlightenment
    Diploma Lecture Series 2012 Absolutism to enlightenment: European art and culture 1665-1765 Jan van Huysum: the rise and strange demise of the baroque flower piece Richard Beresford 21 / 22 March 2012 Introduction: At his death in 1749 Jan van Huysum was celebrated as the greatest of all flower painters. His biographer Jan van Gool stated that Van Huysum had ‘soared beyond all his predecessors and out of sight’. The pastellist Jean-Etienne Liotard regarded him as having perfected the oil painter’s art. Such was contemporary appreciation of his works that it is thought he was the best paid of any painter in Europe in the 18th century. Van Huysum’s reputation, however, was soon to decline. The Van Eyckian perfection of his technique would be dismissed by a generation learning to appreciate the aesthetic of impressionism. His artistic standing was then blighted by the onset of modernist taste. The 1920s and 30s saw his works removed from public display in public galleries, including both the Rijksmuseum and the Mauritshuis. The critic Just Havelaar was not the only one who wanted to ‘sweep all that flowery rubbish into the garbage’. Echoes of the same sentiment survive even today. It was not until 2006 that the artist received his first serious re-evaluation in the form of a major retrospective exhibition. If we wish to appreciate Van Huysum it is no good looking at his work through the filter an early 20th-century aesthetic prejudice. The purpose of this lecture is to place the artist’s achievement in its true cultural and artistic context.

  • Empire of Prints. the Imperial City of Augsburg and the Printed Image In
    OPUS Augsburg 2016 Peter Stoll Empire of Prints The Imperial City of Augsburg and the Printed Image in the 17th and 18th Centuries1 Detail from the frontispiece to David Langenmantel’s Historie des Regiments in des Heil. Röm. Reichs Stadt Augspurg (Augsburg 1734); engraving by Jakob Andreas Friedrich: Augsburg city hall; on top of the cartouche the pine cone from the city’s coat of arms; to the right the eagle signifying the Holy Roman Empire. 1 This text, in a Spanish translation, first served as one of the introductory essays in an exhibition catalogue dealing with Augsburg prints as modellos for baroque paintings in Quito, Ecuador (‘El imperio del grabado: La ciudad imperial de Augsburgo y la imagen impresa en los siglos XVII y XVIII’, in: Almerindo E. Ojeda, Alfonso Ortiz Crespo [ed.]: De Augsburgo a Quito: fuentes grabadas del arte jesuita quiteño del siglo XVIII, Quito 2015, pp. 17-66). For the present purpose, all passages of the text which only made sense in the context of the exhibition have been removed. Nonetheless, the 18th century bias of the text as well as the selection of artists which come under closer scrutiny still reflect the origins of the essay. As it was meant to address not only art historians, but also a general interest readership, it contains much basic information about print- making and the cultural history of Augsburg.

The artistic energy of a great nation is not a mere accident, of which we can neither determine the cause nor foresee the result. It is, on the contrary, the resultant of the genius and character of the people ; the reflection of the social conditions under which it was called into being ; and the product of the civilisation to which it owes its birth. All the force and activity of a race appear to be concentrated in its Art ; enterprise aids its growth ; appreciation ensures its development ; and as Art is always grandest when national prosperity is at its height, so it is pre-eminently by its Art that we can estimate the capabilities of a people.

  • The Vanitas in the Works of Maria Van Oosterwijck & Marian Drew
    The Vanitas In The Works Of Maria Van Oosterwijck & Marian Drew Both Maria Van Oosterwijck and Marian Drew have produced work that has been described as the Vanitas. Drew does so as a conscious reference to the historic Dutch genre, bringing it into a contemporary Australian context. Conversely, Van Oosterwijck was actively embedded in the original Vanitas still-life movement as it was developed in 17th century Netherlands. An exploration into the works of Maria Van Oosterwijck and Marian Drew will compare differences in their communication of the Vanitas, due to variations in time periods, geographic context, intended audience and medium. Born in 1630, Maria Van Oosterwijck was a Dutch still-life painter. The daughter of a protestant preacher, she studied under renowned still-life painter Jan Davidsz de Heem from a young age, but Quickly developed an independent style. Her work was highly sort after amongst the European bourgeoisie, and sold to monarchs including Queen Mary, Emperor Leopold and King Louis XIV. Van Oosterwijck painted in the Vanitas genre, and was heavily influenced by Caravaggio’s intense chiaroscuro techniQue, as well as the trompe l’oiel realism popular in most Northern BaroQue painting (Vigué 2003). Marian Drew is a contemporary Australian photographic artist. She is known for her experimentations within the field of photography, notably the light painting techniQue she employs to create a deep chiaroscuro effect. This techniQue also produces an almost painterly effect in the final images, which she prints onto large- scale cotton paper. In Drew’s Australiana/Still Life series, she photographed native road kill next to household items and flora, in the style of Dutch Vanitas and game- painting genres.

  • Martin Schongauer 1 Martin Schongauer
    Martin Schongauer 1 Martin Schongauer Martin Schongauer (c. 1448 – 2 February 1491) was a German engraver and painter. He was the most important German printmaker before Albrecht Dürer. His prints were circulated widely and Schongauer was known in Italy by the names Bellendo Martino and Martino d'Anversa. Biography His father was a goldsmith named henry, a native of Augsburg, who had settled at Colmar, where the chief part of Martin's life was spent. He may well have been trained by Master E. S.; A. Hyatt Mayor saw both their styles in different parts of one engraving, and all the works with Schongauer's M†S monogram show a fully developed style. Schongauer established at Colmar a very important school of engraving, out of which grew the "Little Masters" of the succeeding generation, and a large group of Nuremberg artists. As a painter, Schongauer was a follower of the Flemish Rogier van der Weyden, and his rare Ecce Homo, engraving from the Passion series by Martin Schongauer. existing pictures closely resemble, both in splendour of color and exquisite minuteness of execution, the best works of contemporary art in Flanders. Martin Schongauer 2 Among the very few paintings which can with certainty be attributed to him, the chief is a magnificent altar-piece in the church of Saint Martin at Colmar. The Musée d´Unterlinden in Colmar possesses eleven panels by him, and a small panel of David with Goliath's Head in the Munich Gallery is attributed to him. The miniature painting of the Death of the Virgin in the National Gallery, London is probably the work of some pupil.

  • The Functional Print Within the Print Market of the Late Fifteenth and Early Sixteenth Century in Northern Europe and Italy
    THE FUNCTIONAL PRINT WITHIN THE PRINT MARKET OF THE LATE FIFTEENTH AND EARLY SIXTEENTH CENTURY IN NORTHERN EUROPE AND ITALY Lyndsay Bennion A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2006 Committee: Dr. Allison Terry, Advisor Dr. Andrew Hershberger © 2006 Lyndsay Bennion All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Allison Terry, Advisor The focus of my thesis is the print market of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century. This market was a byproduct of the trade-based economy of Venice and cities in Northern Europe. The multiplicity of prints allowed for their widespread circulation among these cities. Religious prints were the first type of print to be disseminated via the various trade routes. Such prints experienced an immense popularity due to the devotional climate of early Renaissance society. Most often, they were utilized by consumers as devotional tools. Yet as the print market grew, so too did the tastes of consumers. A new type emerged who viewed the print as an art object and used it accordingly; collecting it and storing it away within their private print cabinets. It is these two different functions of the print that I am most interested in exploring. My intent is to view the print as a functional object whose use changed depending on the type of consumer who purchased it. The differing functions of the print resulted in a segmentation of the market into a larger devotional market and a much smaller fine print market.

    Spotlight: The New Apelles Albrecht Dürer and the Renaissance North of the Alps DR. JÖRN GÜNTHER · RARE BOOKS AG Manuskripte unD seltene Bücher [email protected] www.guenther-rarebooks.com How is it possible that the son of an ordinary – successful, but not outstanding – goldsmith became not only Germany’s most celebrated ar:st but also an interna:onal leading figure in Europe’s cultural life? Centuries of reflec:on, studies, and research on the topic of Albrecht Dürer have brought to light new insights and discoveries about the ar:st and his works. Moreover, Dürer – and his father before him – have passed down a family chronicle that tells us about the personal history of the ar:st and his next of kin. But s:ll, many ques:ons about the great ar:st remain open and Albrecht Dürer, Self-portrait at 13 years, unanswered. silverpoint, Vienna, Graphische Sammlung, Alber:na His father, as we can deduce from his own self portrait, was a very talented draughtsman, who apparently learned the best part of his craft during his years of travel in the Netherlands, where he became familiar with the celebrated works of the “great masters” (Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, and others), as his son would later call them in his chronicle. The young Albrecht Dürer learned his outstanding mastery in silverpoint pen and burin during his apprenticeship in his father’s workshop. Albrecht the Elder must have been very proud of his son and eager to hand the family business over to him one day.
