Bøger om Romantikken

250 years after the painter's birth, this luxurious exhibition catalog offers glimpses into the mystery of Friedrich's largely posthumous popularity as well as the latest research into his training and techniques. Largely ignored during his lifetime, Caspar David Friedrich was a meticulous painter of emotionally evocative landscapes, often featuring solitary figures or groups of people against dramatic scenery. His work has inspired many artists to the present day, and this volume explores the role that Berlin's Nationalgalerie played in bringing Friedrich into the forefront of modern art history. It also shines a light on Friedrich's remarkable use of pairs in paintings-including his most famous pairing, Monk by the Sea and Abbey in the Oakwood-which he employed to express a range of different perspectives and the concept of change. Finally it examines the latest research into Friedrich's technique: his early training in Copenhagen; his sketches, preparatory drawings and underdrawings; and his unconventional selection and use of pigments. Throughout this monograph readers will find stunning reproductions of sixty paintings, including several iconic works, and fifty drawings-representing collections from around the world. Coupled with the latest research, they combine to offer a completely up-to-date appreciation of Friedrich's extraordinary talent and his unquestionable status as a pioneer of modern art. With contributions by Birgit Verwiebe, Johannes Grave, Hilmar Frank, Werner Busch, Anna Marie Pfäfflin, Gerd-Helge Vogel, Kristina Mösl, Ralph Gleis, Sintje Guericke.

"This book examines the art gallery at Cleveland House, known in the 19th century as the 'Louvre of London' due to its internationally-renowned collection of Old Master paintings. Through detailed analysis of a wide range of visual, material, textual and archival sources, the book presents the gallery as a methodological case study on the intersection of domesticity and the display of art, and the construction of the notion of 'public', 'private' and 'national' galleries in the period. The book is essential reading for researchers in Regency-era British art, museum studies, collecting studies, and the histories of interior decoration and design"--

Ein Weihnachts-Countdown der besonderen Art: Neunzehn junge Autor:innen haben sich Gedanken über die Liebe gemacht und vierundzwanzig Gedichte verfasst. So ist ein lyrischer Adventkalender entstanden, der das Herz in der kalten Jahreszeit erwärmt.

Die Studie vergleicht Theodor Fontane und Adolph Menzel anhand der These der interferierenden Bildwelten: Die Romane wie die Gemälde zeigen eine Abkehr von einer ontologisch stabil geglaubten und zentralperspektivisch bzw. auktorial erfassbaren Realität zugunsten einer dynamisch verfassten und individuell gebrochenen Verfahrensrealität. Passagen aus Irrungen, Wirrungen und Effi Briest und zwanzig Gemälde werden auf ihre Korrespondenzen im Hinblick auf die explizite Realisierung geschehensimmanenter Wahrnehmungs- und Vorstellungsprozesse untersucht. Mit der Figurenperspektive auf der literarischen Seite und der bildimmanente Betrachterperspektive auf der malerischen Seite rücken die inneren Bilder und imaginären Tiefenstrukturen der individuellen Wahrnehmungs- und Vorstellungsbezogenheit als ikonische Manifestation der dargestellten Wirklichkeit des Textes oder Gemäldes in den Fokus. Die aufgezeigte phänomenologische Dimension der Wirklichkeit macht eine Vielzahl soziokultureller bzw. mentalitäts-, sozial- und kulturgeschichtlicher Implikationen offensichtlich. Damit verweist die Studie auf Fontanes und Menzels komplexen Verklärungsrealismus, sie erweitert und vertieft die bekannte Fontane-Menzel-Beziehung.

Die Göttliche Komödie von Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) gilt als größtes literarisches Werk der italienischen Sprache (vollendet 1321) und Meisterwerk der Weltliteratur. Das Opus beschreibt die Reise des Dichters durch Hölle und Fegefeuer in den Himmel, und auf einer tieferen Ebene den symbolischen Weg der Seele zu Gott.In seinen letzten Lebensjahren vollendete der Poet und Maler William Blake (1757-1827) 102 Illustrationen zu Dantes epischer Dichtung, die von Bleistiftskizzen bis hin zu fertigen Aquarellen reichen. Blake gelingt es, die visionäre Kraft von Dantes Sprache in Bilder zu übersetzen und in ihrer ganzen Spannbreite darzustellen: von den Qualen der Hölle bis zur Glückseligkeit des Paradieses, von grausamen Verstümmelungen der Verdammten bis hin zur göttlichen Schönheit der Erlösten. Wenngleich Blake dem Text Dantes treu blieb, brachte er seine eigene Betrachtungsweise zu zentralen Themen des Werkes ein.Heute befinden sich Blakes Zeichnungen in sieben verschiedenen Institutionen. Diese Ausgabe vereint sie wieder und stellt ihnen Schlüsselverse aus Dantes Werk zur Seite. Zwei Essays führen den Leser in das Werk von Dante und Blake ein. Wie groß der Einfluss der Göttlichen Komödie auf die Werke der bildenden Kunst war, zeigen Arbeiten von Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo, Eugène Delacroix, Gustave Doré und Auguste Rodin.Alle Illustrationen werden ausführlich erläutert und dank zahlreicher faszinierender Ausschnittvergrößerungen kommt jedes noch so kleine Detail zur Geltung. Diese Begegnung von zwei der größten Künstler aller Zeiten ist überwältigend und wird in so universellen Themen wie Liebe, Schuld, Sühne, Rache und Erlösung anschaulich.

When the Enlightenment thinker Gotthold Ephraim Lessing wrote his treatise Laocoon: An Essay on the Limits of Painting and Poetry in 1766, he outlined the strengths and weaknesses of each art. Painting was assigned to the realm of space; poetry to the realm of time. Space and Time in Artistic Practice and Aesthetics explores how artists since the eighteenth century up to the present day have grappled with the consequences of Lessing's theory and those that it spawned. As the book reveals, many artists have been - and continue to be - influenced by Lessing-like theories, which have percolated into the art education and art criticism. Artists from Jean Raoux to Willem de Kooning and Frances Bacon, and art critics such as Clement Greenberg, have felt the weight of Lessing's theories in their modes of creation, whether consciously or not. Should we sound the death knell for the theories of Lessing and his kind? Or will conceptions of temporality, spatiality and artistic competition continue to unfold? This book - the first to consider how Lessing's writings connect to visual art's production - brings these questions to the fore.

From porcelain to betel leaves, Chumash hats to natural history cabinets, this book examines how objects embody imperialism, knowledge, and resistance in various ways. While every era witnesses change, the eighteenth century experienced artistic, economic, and demographic transformations that exerted unique pressures on material cultures around the world.

Underpinned by case studies which feature objects and practices that span Asia, Europe, Australasia Africa and North America, the book expands beyond Eurocentric perspectives to discover the mobile, transcultural nature of eighteenth-century art worlds.Ranging from California to China, Bengal to Britain, this timely book illuminates the transformations within and between artistic media, follows natural and human-made things as they migrate across territories, and reveals how objects catalyzed change in the transoceanic worlds of the early modern period. Going beyond Eurocentric perspectives, it reveals the innate mobility and transculturality of eighteenth-century art worlds; charting new directions for global art history and cultural history of the period.
