Presentatie over de plaasteren beeldencollectie van de ateliers Bressers & Blanchaert, door Rie Vermeiren (KADOC) op de studiedag 'Heiligen in veelvoud' van het CRKC op 17 december 2010.
The Musee d'Orsay was originally built as a railroad station called the Gare d'Orsay in the early 20th century, but became unsuitable for longer trains in 1939. It was converted into a museum from 1980 to 1986, housing French art from 1845 to 1915 by artists like Van Gogh, Degas, Renoir, Monet and Cezanne. Located on the left bank of the Seine in Paris, it is now a major tourist attraction.
Jan van Eyck was one of the greatest revolutionaries in art. He radically changed the way in which men look at the natural world. His artistic achievements were well-known in Renaissance Italy. Vasari, who wrote about Van Eyck a hundred years later, wrongly attributed the discovery of oil painting to him. Only a few years after his death in 1441, Jan van Eyck was being hailed on both sides of the Alps as one of the greatest painter of the age.
Despite Van Eyck’s great fame, little is known of his life except for his last years. For the last 16 years of his life, he worked at the court of Philip the Good, The Duke of Burgundy. The Duke made use of his skills as both painter and diplomat, sending him on numerous secret missions.
The works of Jan van Eyck are celebrated for their visual splendor and precision of detail. Their brilliant colours and magnificent definition are due to Jan’s refinement of the oil-painting technique.
Yesterday, the merchant witnessed a street fight in Verona between the Montagues and the Capulets, two wealthy families who have been feuding for many years. The fight began between some servants from each family and soon others joined in. Luckily, the Prince of Verona arrived and was able to stop the fight before anyone was seriously hurt. The merchant plans to return home soon to escape the volatile situation between the two families in Verona.

The document discusses the history of the Louvre in Paris, including its original construction as a fortress in the 1200s, later use as a country home and palace, and designation as a museum in 1791. It also briefly mentions the famous theft of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre in 1911 and notes that the art is now protected behind glass despite the museum never being vandalized due to extensive security camera coverage.
Isis ancient greek original egyptian pronunciation more likely aset or iset...Deepak Somaji-Sawant
Isis was an important goddess in ancient Egyptian religion who was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife, as well as the patroness of nature and magic. She was associated with the throne and kingship as the mother of Horus and protector of the pharaoh. Her cult originated in local centers in Egypt but spread throughout the Greco-Roman world, and she was particularly worshipped at the temples of Philae and Behbeit El-Hagar.
Donatello was an Italian sculptor from Florence who worked during the Early Renaissance period. Some of his most famous works included the bronze statue of David from 1430, which was one of the first free-standing nude statues since antiquity. His relief sculptures like the Feast of Herod from 1427 showed early mastery of linear perspective and detailed carving. Donatello is considered one of the greatest sculptors of the Early Renaissance for his innovations in realistic sculpting techniques and influence on later artists.
The Proto-Renaissance in Italy from 1200-1400 saw a transition away from the Italo-Byzantine style. Artists like Cimabue and Duccio incorporated more realistic elements like realistic perspective and proportions in their works. Giotto is considered a pioneer of the Renaissance for works like the Scrovegni Chapel frescoes which used techniques like foreshortening and chiaroscuro modeling to depict religious scenes in a naturalistic style. Simone Martini's Annunciation and Ambrogio Lorenzetti's Effects of Good and Bad Government frescoes further advanced realistic painting techniques.
The document provides information about Cycladic art from the Cycladic Islands in the Aegean Sea. It describes distinct features of Cycladic art including small, simple female idols used for funerary purposes that ranged from 1 to 5 feet tall and had minimal facial features. A few male statues depicted musicians. The document also provides details about Minoan and Mycenaean art, including characteristics of Palace architecture and wall paintings at Knossos, distinctive features of Minoan pottery and figurines, and burial practices like beehive tombs and shaft graves.
This document summarizes key aspects of ancient Egyptian art including architecture, sculpture, and painting. It describes the main characteristics of Egyptian architecture as using large stone blocks in monumental structures like temples, palaces, and tombs. Tombs included mastabas, pyramids like those of Djoser and Khufu, and hypogea excavated in rock. Sculpture is described as featuring static, idealized human figures conveying a sense of eternity. Painting lacked perspective and used frontal and profile representations without shading.
El documento resume la vida y obra de Clara Peeters, una pintora flamenca del siglo XVII especializada en bodegones. Nació alrededor de 1588 en Flandes y desarrolló su carrera principalmente en Amberes, donde pintó unos cuarenta bodegones entre 1607 y 1621. El Museo del Prado organizó en 2016 la primera exposición dedicada a una mujer pintora, mostrando cuatro de sus mejores bodegones procedentes de la colección real.
Greek sculpture evolved over three main periods from the archaic to the classical and Hellenistic eras. In the archaic period, sculptures like kouroi and korai were rigid and geometric. The classical period saw a focus on idealized human beauty and proportions under artists like Polykleitos, Phidias, and Praxiteles. Finally, Hellenistic sculpture moved towards realism, emotion, and a variety of subjects influenced by the wider Hellenistic world.
The Dragon Boat Festival has a history of over 2,000 years in China. It falls on the 5th day of the 5th month of the Chinese lunar calendar, usually in June. The festival commemorates the death of the poet Qu Yuan by racing dragon-boats and eating zongzi rice dumplings. Traditional activities during the festival include hanging pictures of Zhong Kui and calamus/moxa to ward off evil, dragon boat races, making zongzi, wearing spice bags for good fortune, and drinking realgar wine for protection.
The document lists important artists and artworks from the Italian Renaissance and Northern Renaissance. It includes paintings, sculptures, and frescoes by Massacio, Botticelli, Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Dürer, Bosch, Brueghel, Holbein, and Van Eyck that showcase major developments and themes during these periods such as religious subjects, classical influences, and realistic depictions of nature and people.

Ancient Greek art developed naturalistic depictions of the human body that focused on nude male figures. Stylistic development between 750-300 BC was remarkable by ancient standards, especially seen through surviving sculptures. Important innovations also occurred in painting, though few originals survive apart from painted pottery. Greek architecture established harmonious styles using simple techniques that influenced later Roman and modern buildings. Pottery progressed through Geometric, Orientalizing, Black Figure, Red Figure, and White Ground styles, often depicting myths and daily life. Monumental sculpture also advanced from early kouros to naturalistic Classical and emotional Hellenistic works.
Ancient Roman rural villas were centers of agricultural production and trade. Farm goods like wheat and wool were transported locally by carts and ships, and traded within the Roman Empire and with other empires. Villas had farms that raised crops like wheat and sheep, and olive trees that were important for oil production. Olive trees matured slowly but could live for centuries, and olives were pressed for oil using millstones and presses.
Ancient Greece was the birthplace of Western civilization between 900-30 BCE. Some of the defining aspects of Greek culture included democratic city-states, a human-centered worldview, and the worship of many gods. Over time, Greek art evolved from geometric to naturalistic styles, with an increasing focus on idealized human and mythological figures. Major periods included the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic eras. The Parthenon exemplified Classical Greek architecture and sculpture at its height under Pericles in Athens. Works depicted gods, heroes, and important myths, often with balance, symmetry, and mathematical proportions. As Greek culture spread, it had lasting influence on Western art, philosophy, and society.
Bernini was an influential 17th century Italian artist and architect known for creating sculptures like Apollo and Daphne and The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa. He worked principally in Rome and was a leading sculptor of the Baroque period, credited with developing the Baroque style. In addition to sculpture, Bernini also painted, wrote plays, and designed metalwork, stage sets, and architectural structures like the Scala Regia.
