An exclusive look into the preparations behind the Naples in Paris exhibition at the Louvre, beautifully captured by the renowned photographer Robert Polidori. From June 2023 to January 2024, the Musée du Louvre in Paris welcomed sixty major masterpieces from the Museo di Capodimonte, on loan for the exhibition Naples in Paris: The Louvre Hosts the Museo di Capodimonte. The former Italian royal palace, which once served as a hunting lodge for Bourbon monarchs, is now one of the largest museums in Italy holding one of the continent‿s most important collections of Italian paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Among the artworks featured are the famously enigmatic Antea by Parmigianino, a poignant painting of the Crucifixion by Masaccio, The Transfiguration of Christ by Giovanni Bellini, and preparatory cartoons by Raphael and Michelangelo. On the occasion of this historic artistic exchange, acclaimed photographer Robert Polidori was granted exclusive access to the preparations of the exhibition in the Louvre‿s prestigious Grand Galerie. Known for his unique images of architecture and interiors, Polidori exquisitely captures the process and inner workings of the arrival, set-up, and display of the artworks. Part photography monograph, part art history book, this unique publication reveals the hidden workings behind one of the most significant collaborative efforts among major museums in recent years.

Rembrandt schuf über 80 Selbstdarstellungen in Form von Gemälden, Radierungen und Zeichnungen - mehr als jeder andere Künstler vor ihm. Das Selbstporträt war ihm vor allem stilistisches Experiment. Ob als verschmitzter junger Mann, in der Pose des Soldaten oder Orientalen, im biblischen oder mythologischen Gewand, mal als Melancholiker an der Staffelei, dann wieder als Bürger im Sonntagsstaat - jeder expressive Pinselstrich, jeder verschleierte Gesichtszug diente der Charakterisierung einer jeweils anderen Facette seiner Person.Durch die präzise Erfassung von Stimmungen, Mimik, und teils flüchtigen Momenten revolutionierte Rembrandt die Kunst des Selbstporträts. Nicht der repräsentative Idealtypus stand primär im Mittelpunkt, sondern die genaue Beobachtung eines Künstlers, der selbst sein häufigstes Modell war. Neben ihrer stilistischen Vielfalt und dem Gespür für das Menschliche bestechen die Werke durch große Experimentierfreude: die feinen, mit grober Rohrfeder in die feuchte Patina geritzten Locken, die subtil Licht reflektieren. Oder die radierten Bildnisse als virtuose Fingerübungen in der Darstellung des eigenen Mienenspiels.Dieser Band präsentiert sämtliche Selbstporträts - von den ersten Werken im Alter von 22 bis zum letzten Bildnis, das kurz vor seinem Tod entstand - und ist Zeugnis eines Lebens, das sich der Revolutionierung der malerischen Praxis in Inhalt und Form verschrieben hatte.

Drawing on his experiences in Berlin under Schleiermacher and his travels to the Vatican, Mendelssohn, as the Director of Prussian Church Music, wanted to offer an edifying worship experience where large-scale choral works would become an indispensable part of the liturgy, which he saw as a performative or representational act, centered around the life of Christ. Yet he quickly realized that the court and clergy were not interested in his foundational concepts; they merely wanted reforms based on the restauration ideals espoused by Winterfeld and Thibaut. Analyses of his 25 Domchor compositions and their revisions in this Element chronicle Mendelssohn's stylistic development and his ability to continue to offer a Christological worship experience within strictly prescribed parameters. The Berlin Domchor and its new repertoire by Mendelssohn and contemporaneous composers quickly became the model for the emerging a cappella movement throughout Protestant Germany.

"Born in Paris in 1749, Adâelaèide Labille-Guiard rose from shopkeeper's daughter to an official portraitist of the royal court, only to have her achievements reduced to ash by the French Revolution. While she defied societal barriers to become a member of the exclusive Acadâemie Royale and a mentor for other ambitious women painters, she left behind few writings, and her legacy was long overshadowed by celebrated portraitist and memoirist âElisabeth Vigâee-Lebrun. ... In this ... biography, Bridget Quinn applies her insightful interpretation of art history to Labille-Guiard's life. She offers a ... new perspective on the artist's feminism, her sexuality, and her vision of the world"--

Der Mann mit dem Schlapphut von Frans Hals gehört zu den bekanntesten Meisterwerken der Kasseler Gemäldegalerie. Schon Lovis Corinth bekannte 1907 bei seinem Besuch: "der Franz Hals hat genau so gemalt wie ich. [...] Ich brauche mich gar nicht zu verstellen." Das Ergebnis war eine schöpferische Kopie nach dem Gemälde, welche - bei aller Unterschiedlichkeit - die Seelenverwandtschaft beider Künstler offenbart. Erstmals sind beide Werke in Schloss Wilhelmshöhe gemeinsam zu sehen. Ergänzt werden sie durch eine moderne Paraphrase von Slawomir Elsner, die vom Museumsverein Kassel e. V. erworben wurde. Auch sie belegt: Frans Hals inspiriert bis heute! Frans Hals «Der Mann mit dem Schlapphut» Lovis Corinth Slawomir Elsner
