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

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!"

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

Many portraits of the Medicis exist in several versions with varying degrees of participation by Bronzino himself, as Cosimo was a pioneer of the copied portrait sent as a diplomatic gift.St. Mark (c. 1525) - Oil on Wood, Capponi Chapel, Santa Felicita, FlorenceSt. Matthew (c. 1525) - Oil on Wood, Capponi Chapel, Santa Felicita, FlorenceSt. Sebastian (1525–28) - Oil on panel, 87 x 77 cm, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, MadridPortrait of Lorenzo Lenzi (1527–28) - Oil on panel, castello Sforzesco, MilanPietà (c. 1530) - Oil on panel, 105 x 100 cm, Uffizi, FlorencePortrait of Dante (1530) - Oil on panel, MilanPortrait of a Lady in Green (1530–32) - Oil on panel, 76,7 x 65,4 cm, Royal Collection, WindsorHoly Family (1534–40) - Oil on wood, 124.5 x 99.5 cm, Kunsthistorisches Museum, ViennaAdoration of the Shepherds (1535–1540) - Oil on wood, 65,3 x 46,7 cm, Museum of Fine Arts, BudapestPortrait of Ugolino Martelli (before 1537) - Oil on panel, 102 x 85 cm, State Museums, BerlinPortrait of Bartolomeo Panciatichi (c. 1540) - Tempera on wood, 104 x 84 cm, Uffizi, FlorenceHoly Family (c. 1540) - Oil on wood, 117 x 93 cm, Uffizi, FlorencePortrait of a Young Man with a Book (c. 1540) - Oil on wood, 96 x 75 cm, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New YorkVenus, Cupid, Folly and Time (Allegory; 1540–45) - Oil on panel, 146 x 116 cm, National Gallery, LondonAdoration of the Bronze Snake (1540–45) - Fresco, 320 x 385 cm, Palazzo Vecchio, FlorenceDeposition of Christ (1540–45) - Oil on panel, 268 x 173 cm, Musée des Beaux- Arts, BesançonAlessandro de Médici (1540-1553) Oil on panel, 34,90 x 26,20 cm, Museum Cerralbo, Madrid.Crossing of the Red Sea (1541–42) - Fresco, 320 x 490 cm, Palazzo Vecchio, FlorencePortrait of a Young Girl (1541–45) - Oil on wood, 58 x 46,5 cm, Uffizi, FlorencePortrait of Bia de' Medici (c. 1542) - Tempera on panel, 63 x 48 cm, Uffizi, FlorencePortrait of Cosimo I de' Medici (1545) - Oil on panel, 74 x 58 cm, Uffizi, FlorencePortrait of Cosimo I de' Medici (c.1545) - Oil on panel, 76,5 x 59 cm, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid.Portrait of Giovanni de' Medici as a Child (c. 1545) - Oil on wood, 58 x 46 cm, Uffizi, FlorencePortrait of Eleanor of Toledo (c. 1545) - Oil on panel, 115 x 96 cm, Uffizi, FlorencePortrait of Lucrezia Panciatichi (c. 1545) - Oil on panel, 101 x 82.8 cm, Uffizi, FlorenceChrist on the Cross (c. 1545) - Oil on panel, 145 x 115 cm, Musée des Beaux-Arts, NicePortrait of Stefano Colonna (1546) - Oil on panel, 125 x 95 cm, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, RomePortrait of Don Garcia de' Medici (1550) - Oil on panel, Museo del Prado, MadridPortrait of a Lady (c. 1550) - Oil on wood, 109 x 85 cm, Galleria Sabauda, TurinVenus, Cupid and Jealousy (or Envy) (c. 1550) - Oil on wood, 192 x 142 cm, Szépművészeti Múzeum, BudapestPortrait of Andrea Doria as Neptune (1550–1555) - Oil on canvas, 115 x 53 cm, Pinacoteca di Brera, MilanSt. John the Baptist (1550–1555) - Oil on wood, 120 x 92 cm, Galleria Borghese, RomePortrait of Pierantonio Bandini (c.1550–1555) - Oil on wood, 106,7 x 82,5 cm, National Gallery of CanadaPortrait of Francesco I de' Medici (1551) - Tempera on wood, 58.5 x 41.5 cm, Uffizi, FlorencePortrait of Maria de' Medici (1551) - Tempera on wood, 52.5 x 38 cm, Uffizi, FlorencePortrait of Ludovico Capponi (1551) - Oil on wood, 117 x 86 cm, Frick Collection, New YorkChrist in Limbo, 1552, Florence, Museo dell'Opera di Santa CroceHoly Family (1555–1560) - Tempera on wood, 117 x 99 cm, Pushkin Museum, MoscowPortrait of Laura Battiferri (1555–1560) - Oil on canvas, 83 x 60 cm, Palazzo Vecchio, FlorenceNoli me tangere (1561) - Oil on canvas, 291 x 195 cm, Musée du Louvre, ParisAllegory of Happiness (1564) - Oil on copper, 40 x 30 cm, Uffizi, FlorencePortrait of the Dwarf Morgante (1564)Deposition of Christ (1565) - Oil on wood, 350 x 235 cm, Galleria dell'Accademia, FlorenceMartyrdom of St. Lawrence (1569) - Fresco, San Lorenzo, FlorenceMusic:Bach The Well Tempered Claviermusopen.org/music/43466-the-well-tempered-clavier-book-i-bwv-846-869

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. He was born in the Middle Rhine region, and probably spent his childhood in Mainz. He had moved to the Netherlands by 1465 and spent time in the Brussels workshop of Rogier van der Weyden. He was subsequently made a citizen of Bruges, where he became one of the leading artists in which he painted religious works that often incorporated portraits of his wealthy patrons. Memling's patrons included wealthy burghers (bankers, merchants, and politicians), clergymen, and aristocrats.Memling's portraits built upon the styles that he learned in his youth. He became very successful, and in 1480 was listed among the wealthiest citizens in a city tax list.He married Anna de Valkenaere sometime between 1470 and 1480, and they had three children. Memling's art was rediscovered, and became very popular, in the 19th century.Music:Bach Goldberg VariationsThe Goldberg Variations, BWV. 988, are a set of 30 variations for harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach.

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.
John Ottis Adams Video Gallery 2020-10-25 | John Ottis Adams (July 8, 1851 – January 28, 1927) was an American impressionist painter and art educator who is best known as a member of the Hoosier Group of Indiana landscape painters, along with William Forsyth, Richard B. Gruelle, Otto Stark, and T. C. Steele. In addition, Adams was among a group that formed the Society of Western Artists in 1896, and served as the organization's president in 1908 and 1909. Adams grew up in central Indiana, but received his formal art training at the South Kensington School of Art in London and spent seven years in Germany, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich.

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.
