The Art of Paolo Veronese 1528-1588
- 224 pages
- 8 hours of reading
No other artist was better able to evoke the visual splendor of 16th-century Venetian life than Paolo Veronese. His work provides a feast for the eyes, conjuring up visions that are stately, luxurious, and ripe with opulent beauty. Veronese’s work still speaks to us of the perennial pleasures associated with Venice’s golden age, and it is little wonder that his paintings and drawings have been eagerly sought by collectors for more than four centuries. This catalog, part of the worldwide celebrations that commemorated the 400th anniversary of his death, and the selection of works reproduced within should remind or perhaps even introduce the reader to a better-rounded view of Veronese’s oeuvre. The exhibition catalog illustrates every aspect of Veronese’s career and demonstrates the evolution of his style.

Prosluněné ovzduší Přístavu Svatého Marka nebo stříbřitý opar Pohledu na Londýn s Temží proslavily malíře Antonia Canala zvaného Canaletto (1697-1768) již za jeho života po celé Evropě. Jaká byla cesta tohoto malíře vzešlého z jednoho z nejsilnějších center radikálního barokního iluzionismu k vytříbenému smyslu pro skutečnost? Jak došlo k přebásnění dokumetární popisnosti v rafinovaně konstruované panoramatické záběry, které přes veškerou topografickou přesnost vlastně neodpovídají reálnému pohledu? Jakým postupem dosahoval Canaletto této licence, jaké měl při své práci pomůcky? Na tyto a na mnoho dalších zajímavých otázek najdeme odpověď v této knize Terisia Pignattiho, zasvěceného znalce benátského umění.

Zeichnungen – Unmittelbarkeit der Meisterhand: Cranach, Dürer, Leonardo, Raffael, Michelangelo, Rubens, Rembrandt, Picasso – sie alle waren begnadete Künstler. Kaum eines ihrer Meisterwerk der Malerei oder Skulptur entstand ohne Vorzeichnungen. Aber nicht nur als Vorstudien, sondern auch im Verlauf der Epochen als autonome Kunstwerke verströmen Zeichnungen unmittelbar die persönliche Handschrift und den Charakter des Künstlers. Sie enthüllen seine unverwechselbare Note, sein Temperament, seine Ideen und Inspirationen. Der vorliegende Band geht aber noch weiter, als nur die Zeichnungen der großen Meister zu zeigen. In über 300 prachtvollen Abbildungen erzählt er die Geschichte der Zeichnung von den Ursprüngen der allerersten Spuren menschlichen Daseins in den Höhlenmalereien von Altamira, über Ägypten, nach Japan und China bis hin zu den genialen Zeichnungen Picassos. Der neue Referenzband zur Geschichte der Zeichnung!
