Ambrosius Benson Video Gallery 2021-02-16 | Ambrosius Benson (c. 1495/1500, in Ferrara or Milan – 1550, in Flanders) was an Italian painter who became a part of the Northern Renaissance.While many surviving paintings have been attributed, there is very little known of him from records, and he tended not to sign his work. He is believed to be responsible for mainly religious art, but also painted portraits on commission. He sometime painted from classical sources, often setting the figures in modern-dress, or a contemporary domestic setting. In his lifetime he was successful; he had a large workshop, his work was sold internationally and he was especially popular in Spain.Benson became popular as a source for pastiche with 19th-century painters, who are sometimes known as the "followers of Benson". In particular his many variations of the Magdalen and Sibilla Persica were further copied and became popular with contemporary buyers.Music:musopen.org/music/3532-violin-concerto-in-a-minor-bwv-1041Violin Concerto in A minor, BWV 1041 - Complete PerformancePerformer: The Alsace Baroque Orchestracreativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0

Situated on Montjuïc hill at the end of Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina, near Pl Espanya, the museum is especially notable for its outstanding collection of romanesque church paintings, and for Catalan art and design from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including modernisme and noucentisme.

The Palau Nacional, which has housed the Museu d'Art de Catalunya since 1934, was declared a national museum in 1990 under the Museums Law passed by the Catalan Government. That same year, a thorough renovation process was launched to refurbish the site, based on plans drawn up by the architects Gae Aulenti and Enric Steegmann, who were later joined in the undertaking by Josep Benedito. The Oval Hall was reopened in 1992 on the occasion of the Olympic Games, and the various collections were installed and opened over the period from 1995 (when the Romanesque Art section was reopened) to 2004. The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (Museu Nacional) was officially inaugurated on 16 December 2004. It is one of the largest museums in Spain.Music:2 Hour Piano Jam For Sleep/Film/Meditation by Cirralisis is licensed under a Creative Commons License.soundcloud.com/cirralisis/2-hour-piano-music-jam-for-filmsleepmeditation

Fernando Botero Video Gallery 2020-12-26 | Fernando Botero Angulo (born 19 April 1932) is a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor, born in Medellín. His signature style, also known as "Boterismo", depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece. He is considered the most recognized and quoted living artist from Latin America, and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris.Self-titled "the most Colombian of Colombian artists" early on, Botero came to national prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958. He began creating sculptures after moving to Paris in 1973, achieving international recognition with exhibitions across the world by the 1990s. His art is collected by many major international museums, corporations, and private collectors. In 2012, he received the International Sculpture Center's Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award.While his work includes still-lifes and landscapes, Botero has concentrated on situational portraiture. His paintings and sculptures are united by their proportionally exaggerated, or "fat" figures, as he once referred to them.Botero explains his use of these "large people", as they are often called by critics, in the following way:"An artist is attracted to certain kinds of form without knowing why. You adopt a position intuitively; only later do you attempt to rationalize or even justify it.Recent exhibitions"Fund-Raiser" Exhibition with Sonia Falcone at Calvin Charles Gallery (2003), Scottsdale, Arizona"Botero at Ebisu" (2004), Tokyo"Fernando Botero" (2006), Athens"The Baroque World of Fernando Botero" (2007), Quebec City"Abu Ghraib Exhibit" (2007), University of California, Berkeley"Botero: Abu Ghraib" (6 November – 30 December 2007), American University Museum"Botero Abu Ghraib" Exposition (2008), Centro de las Artes I Monterrey, Mexico"The Baroque World of Fernando Botero" (May 2008), Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington"The Baroque World of Fernando Botero" (28 June – 21 September 2008), New Orleans Museum of Art"The Baroque World of Fernando Botero" (30 May – 16 August 2009), Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center"The Baroque World of Fernando Botero" (19 October – 11 January 2009), Brooks Museum of Art, Memphis, Tennessee"The Baroque World of Fernando Botero" (12 September 2009 – 6 December 2009), Bowers Museum, Santa Ana, California"Fernando Botero" (September 2009) Korea, Seoul, Bandi Gallery"Fernando Botero: Works On Paper, Paintings, and Sculptures" (11 February – 28 March 2010), David Benrimon Fine Art, New York, NY"The Baroque World of Fernando Botero" (1 May – 25 July 2010), Nevada Museum of Art, Reno, Nevada"Botero" (4 May – 18 July 2010), Pera Museum, Istanbul"The Baroque World of Fernando Botero" (21 August – 14 November 2010), Glenbow Museum, Calgary"The Baroque World of Fernando Botero" (10 December 2010 – 27 February 2011), Winnipeg Art Gallery, Winnipeg"Botero" (October 2011 – January 2012), Kunstforum, Vienna"Fernando Botero" (July 2015 – October 2015), Seoul Arts Center, Seoul"Botero in China" (November 2015 – January 2016), The National Museum of China, Beijing"Botero in China" (January 2016 – April 2016), China Art Museum, Shanghai"Botero: Celebrate Life!"

Kees van Dongen Video Gallery 2020-12-21 | Cornelis Theodorus Maria 'Kees' van Dongen (26 January 1877 – 28 May 1968) was a Dutch-French painter who was one of the leading Fauves. Van Dongen's early work was influenced by the Hague School and symbolism and it evolved gradually into a rough pointillist style.From 1905 onwards – when he took part at the controversial 1905 Salon d'Automne exhibition – his style became more and more radical in its use of form and colour. The paintings he made in the period of 1905–1910 are considered by some to be his most important works.[3] The themes of his work from that period are predominantly centered around the nightlife; he paints dancers, singers, masquerades and theatre. Van Dongen gained a reputation for his sensuous – at times garish – portraits of especially women.Music:The Fantasia in F minor by Franz Schubertmusopen.org

Caspar David Friedrich Video Gallery 2020-11-06 | Caspar David Friedrich (5 September 1774 – 7 May 1840) was a 19th-century German Romantic landscape painter, generally considered the most important German artist of his generation. He is best known for his mid-period allegorical landscapes which typically feature contemplative figures silhouetted against night skies, morning mists, barren trees or Gothic ruins. His primary interest was the contemplation of nature, and his often symbolic and anti-classical work seeks to convey a subjective, emotional response to the natural world. Friedrich's paintings characteristically set a human presence in diminished perspective amid expansive landscapes, reducing the figures to a scale that, according to the art historian Christopher John Murray, directs "the viewer's gaze towards their metaphysical dimension".Music:Beethoven Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61

The Nude in Russian Art in the 20th Century Video Gallery 2020-11-05 | RUSSIAN ART HAS OFTEN BEEN CONTRADICTORY IN ITS DEPICTION OF NUDES - AND CHANGING TIMES HAVE THEMSELVES CHANGED ETHICAL AND AESTHETIC VALUE SYSTEMS, AND OFFERED (AND/OR ORDERED) NEW PRIORITIES. THE 20TH-CENTURY INDUSTRIAL ERA WITH ITS REVOLUTIONARY TURMOIL TRIGGERED AN OVERTURNING OF TRADITIONAL MORAL STANDARDS IN SOCIETY, ESTABLISHING NEW AESTHETIC NOTIONS AND ALTERING ARTISTIC LANGUAGE ACCORDINGLY.THEMES OF NUDITY WERE NO LONGER CONFINED TO ART CLASSES. NUDE BODIES THAT HAD ONCE MADE THE RUSSIAN AUDIENCE NERVOUSLY BLUSH WITH EMBARRASSMENT APPEARED AS SUBJECTS OF PROPAGANDA IN A SOCIETY WHICH WAS AIMING AT DRASTIC CHANGE. THE YOUNG GENERATION OF BIG-CITY DWELLERS, RADICAL NUDISTS, CONSIDERED STROLLING THE STREETS WITHOUT CLOTHES TO BE A REVOLUTIONARY ACT.A new attitude to the human form was fostered at the courses in "biomechanics" for actors started by Meyerhold in petrograd in 19182 and in the laboratory of choreology opened at the Russian Academy of Artistic Sciences (RaKhN) in 19233. Those participating in such experiments were very serious about developing bodily expression. The essence of training and research was in differentiating between a "psycho-physical" naturalness and a "technical-artistic" embellishment of the body's plasticity, in treating them as opposites. It was as if the body was being reinvented.In visual art the interest in nude studies following classical standards sometimes gave way to a total ignorance of the harmony and perfection of the human body and moved towards formal analysis. Thus, the pronounced focus on things "of old" - popular prints (the lubok), pagan idols, and stone-carved women (the baba) - was explained by attempts to "research" national identity.You can support our work.Donate:paypal.me/ezoterist
Giotto di Bondone Video Gallery 2020-11-05 | Giotto di Bondone (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒɔtto di bonˈdoːne]; c. 1267 – January 8, 1337), known mononymously as Giotto (UK: /ˈdʒɒtoʊ/,US: /dʒiˈɒtoʊ, ˈdʒɔːtoʊ/) and Latinised as Giottus, was an Italian painter and architect from Florence during the Late Middle Ages. He worked during the Gothic/Proto-Renaissance period. Giotto's contemporary, the banker and chronicler Giovanni Villani, wrote that Giotto was "the most sovereign master of painting in his time, who drew all his figures and their postures according to nature" and of his publicly recognized "talent and excellence". In his Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, Giorgio Vasari described Giotto as making a decisive break with the prevalent Byzantine style and as initiating "the great art of painting as we know it today, introducing the technique of drawing accurately from life, which had been neglected for more than two hundred years".Music:Violin Sonata no. 2 in A minor
Hans Memling Video Gallery 2020-11-04 | Hans Memling (also spelled Memlinc; c. 1430 – 11 August 1494) was a painter active in Flanders, who worked in the tradition of Early Netherlandish painting.

Carl Frederik Aagaard Video Gallery 2020-11-02 | Carl Frederik Peder Aagaard (29 January 1833, Odense – 2 November 1895, Copenhagen) was a Danish landscape painter and decorative artist. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and under P. C. Skovgaard. Many of his paintings focused on spots frequented by tourists.Music:Chopin Ballade no. 4, Op. 52Frédéric Chopin composed his fourth Ballade, Op. 52, in 1842 in Paris. He dedicated it to Baroness Rothschild, who had invited him to play in her residence and introduced him to the Paris aristocracy. According to Schumann, this Ballade was inspired by Mickiewicz's poem 'The Three Budrys'. Chopin may be said to be the creator of the Ballade as a distinct genre, inspiring many musicians (such as Liszt and Brahms) to write their own Ballades. Though the pieces seem to be entirely different between them, analysts have shown that the Ballades share a number of traits, like a mirror reexposition (where the order of the first and second themes are inverted), and the so called ballade meter (a 6/8 or 6/4 meter). A distinguishing feature of this Ballade is its contrapuntal nature, which sets it aside from the others. Of the four, it is considered by many pianists to be the most difficult, technically and musically.

Chopin's Études were the foundation of a new system of technical piano playing that was radical and revolutionary. They are some of the most challenging and evocative pieces of all the works in concert piano repertoire. Because of this, they remain popular and are often performed in both concert and private stages.

Alessandro Allori Video Gallery 2020-10-25 | Alessandro di Cristofano di Lorenzo del Bronzino Allori (Florence, 31 May 1535 – 22 September 1607) was an Italian portrait painter of the late Mannerist Florentine school.In 1540, after the death of his father, he was brought up and trained in art by a close friend, often referred to as his 'uncle', the mannerist painter Agnolo Bronzino, whose name he sometimes assumed in his pictures.[1] In some ways, Allori is the last of the line of prominent Florentine painters, of generally undiluted Tuscan artistic heritage: Andrea del Sarto worked with Fra Bartolomeo (as well as Leonardo da Vinci), Pontormo briefly worked under Andrea, and trained Bronzino, who trained Allori. Subsequent generations in the city would be strongly influenced by the tide of Baroque styles pre-eminent in other parts of Italy.
