Art of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries in Naples
His practice of painting directly from posed models violated the idealizing premise of Renaissance theory and promoted a new relationship between painting and viewer by breaking down the conventions that maintained painting as a plausible fiction rather than an extension of everyday experience.
1594; Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth), Caravaggio appropriated a scene of street life—a gullible, well-dressed youth being taken in by professional cheats—and, by abstracting it against a plain background and focusing on the expressions and actions of the various figures, gave it an artistic as well as moral interest.

 NCAW Autumn 05 | Marijke Jonker on Delecluze on History Painting and David
An art critic like Delécluze, holding on to the principles learned in youth and not changing his point of view when new artistic directions came to the fore, does not fit this paradigm.
He mistrusted the preoccupation with artistic progress and the superiority of French art, which dominated theoretical writing about history painting, and he criticized French artists for what he believed to be their systematic, insincere, and self-indulgent need to draw attention to themselves.
Great ideas shared by painters and their public were for him the only true source of great art; the teleological interpretation of the history of art, to which modern readers are used, was completely alien to his thinking.

 ARC :: Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) :: Page 1 of 7
POUSSIN, NICOLAS (1594—1665), French painter, was born at Les Andelys (Eure) in June 1594.
He found French art in a stage of transition: the old apprenticeship system was disturbed, and the academical schools destined to supplant it were not yet established; but, having met Courtois the mathematician, Poussin was fired by the study of his collection of engravings after Italian masters.
French art in his day was purely decorative, but in Poussin we find a survival of the impulses of the Renaissance coupled with conscious reference - to classic work as the standard of excellence.

Raphael's masterpiece was the source for a compositional type that Poussin returned to again and again, manipulating the conventions of classical art: the draped figures, rhetorical gestures, and architecture.
Poussin's sight was weakening during the years he produced his late landscapes, and they have an almost pointillist technique, which is particularly well suited to their subject matter.
Sometimes associated with an uncompromising, almost ascetic formalism, Poussin's art is, in fact, a marriage of poetry and reason, sensibility and intellect, a balance of two aspects of one character.

 ArtLex on Feminism and Feminist Art
Although it is not the goal of this article to recount the development of feminist theory in full, the history of feminist art cannot be understood apart from it.
Feminist art notes that significant in the dominant (meaning especially Western) culture's patriarchal heritage is the preponderance of art made by males, and for male audiences, sometimes transgressing against females.
Although feminist art has arisen more from the concerns of artists of one gender, and some of those concerns are sexual in nature, more often than not feminist issues have been about women's power in arenas of which sexuality (reproductive acts and roles) is an important part.

 The Frick Collection: Exhibitions: Past: 1998
This exhibition — culled from the holdings of the Winterstein family of Munich, the world’s most comprehensive and important private collection of German drawings and watercolors of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries — afforded viewers an opportunity to study fine works by forty-nine artists from the greatest period of German drawing.
The original exhibition was organized by the University of Iowa Museum of Art and the Royal Academy of Arts, London.
Whether compositional studies or finished works of art, all the drawings focused on the figure as a means of exploring form, narrative, or individual spirit.

 diGrasse's Rapier Fencing Manual, Video Version
In 1594 the writings of an Italian Fencing Master, Giacomo diGrasse, were "Englished" from the original Italian for the benefit of his London students.
I highly recommend the 1594 version, which uses the language of Shakespeare and the King James Bible, and is very readable.
To keep the text concise, my working assumption is that the reader is familiar with modern fencing jargon, which is used as applicable.

Take away whatever the x-factor is--magic, dimensionality, planar realities, metaphysical funnel, and all you're left with in a reproduction is pretty sunflowers and a sweet little smile.
Could it be that the commodification of art is a primitive attempt to control and cage—and for the very rich to try to possess—the power of the one true original object?
Think of poor Giocanda in her bullet-proof, bomb-proof tourist-cage in the Louvre: layers of plexiglas or whatever miracle-substance, velvet ropes to keep the hordes at a safe distance.

It is probable that the decay and ultimate dissolution of the monasteries had for the time inflicted a heavy blow on the development of agriculture as an art.
Norden in his Essex Described (1594) calls the county the "Englishe Goshen, the fattest of the Lande; comparable to Palestina, that flowed with milke and hunnye." So "manie and sweete" were the "commodeties" of Essex, that they compensated for the "moste cruell quarterne fever" which he caught among its low-lying lands.
The art was loved by Bacon; it was patronised by Burghley and Walsingham; it gathered round it a rich literature; it claimed the services of explorers and builders of Empire like Sir Walter Raleigh.

 glbtq >> arts >> Patronage I: The Western World from Ancient Greece until 1900
The interaction of Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte (1549-1627) with Caravaggio (1571-1610) constitutes the earliest known example of the fruitful collaboration of a queer patron and queer artist with the explicit goal of producing art that would celebrate their shared same-sex sexual desires.
Cardinal-Protector of the Accademia di San Luca, the painters' organization in Rome, Del Monte had a strong interest in the arts and assembled an impressive collection of modern and ancient works.
The depiction of beautiful youths, dressed in vaguely antique costume, evokes accounts of parties held by Del Monte, who is supposed to have encouraged street boys to participate in his musical soirees.
