'Art in England: Notes and Studies' by Dutton Cook is a collection of biographical studies and excerpts chronicling the nation's art history. While not a formal history, Cook's carefully selected materials highlight the lives and influence of artists who may be less renowned but were of mark in their periods. Readers will be drawn in by the stories of artists who played significant roles in shaping the character and progress of art in England. Cook's book is a valuable tool for students and the general public alike, shedding light on the struggles, trials, troubles, and successes of England's past art scene and its relevance to its present and future. From early art schools to the Royal Academy, from Hogarth to Turner and Ruskin, this book provides a glimpse into the past that informs the present.
Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
This volume explores the history and interpretation of mediaeval technical treatises on the arts, and includes a catalogue of over 400 manuscript sources, many of them largely unknown.
