Burglind Jungmann
Painters as Envoys : Korean Inspiration in Eighteenth-Century Japanese Nanga

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description It is well known that Japanese literati painting of the eighteenth century was inspired by Chinese styles that found their way to Japan through trade relations. However, because Japanese and American art historians have focused on Japanese-Chinese ties, the fact that Japan also maintained important diplomatic--and aesthetic--relations with Korea during the same period has long been neglected. This richly illustrated, cogently argued book examines the role of Korean embassies in shapingthe new Japanese literati style, known as Nanga in Japan. Burglind Jungmann describes the eighteenth-century Korean-Japanese diplomatic exchange and the circumstances under which Korean and Japanese painters met. Since diplomatic relations were conducted on both sides by scholars with a classical Chinese education, Korean envoys and their Japanese hosts shared a deep interest in Chinese philosophy, literature, calligraphy, and painting. Texts, such as Ike Taiga`s letter… [detailed...]

Andrea Bayer, Mina Gregori
Painters of Reality: The Legacy of Leonardo and Caravaggio in Lombardy

2004 y.
Publisher: The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Description: Inspired largely by Leonardo`s brilliant naturalistic work for the Sforza court in Milan, Lombard artists of the late fifteenth century began to use direct observation to investigate the natural world. This heritage was of considerable importance in northern Italian art for two centuries, finding its greatest expression in the works of Caravaggio and influencing the course of Baroque painting in Rome and eventually elsewhere in Europe. Painters of Reality identifies the salient characteristics of this naturalistic strand in Lombard art. Building on the scholarship of renowned art historian Roberto Longhi, the authors reexamine the subject in light of subsequent literature. Essays range from broad discussions of naturalism in Lombard paintings and drawings (including a fresh consideration of works by Caravaggio) to more specialized treatments of Leonardo`s influence, the schools of painting centered in Brescia, Bergamo, Cremona, and Milan, and Caravaggio`s most notable successors in… [detailed...]

Painting &, Experience in Fifteenth-Century Italy

1988 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Serving as both an introduction to fifteenth-century Italian painting and as a text on how to interpret social history from the style of pictures in a given historical period, this new edition to Baxandall`s pre-eminent scholarly volume examines early Renaissance painting, and explains how the style of painting in any society reflects the visual skills and habits that evolve out of daily life. Renaissance painting, for example, mirrors the experience of such activities as preaching, dancing, and gauging barrels. The volume includes discussions of a wide variety of painters, including Filippo Lippi, Fra Angelico, Stefano di Giovanni, Sandro Botticelli, Masaccio, Luca Signorelli, Boccaccio, and countless others. Baxandall also defines and illustrates sixteen concepts used by a contemporary critic of painting, thereby assembling the basic equipment needed to explore fifteenth-century art. [detailed...]

Description: Painting is more popular than ever. Collectors and museum goers can`t seem to get enough, with record auction prices and blockbuster exhibitions cementing the medium`s priveleged position in the public heart.
