Venice, Italian Venezia, city, major seaport, and capital of
both the provincia (province) of Venezia and the regione (region) of Veneto,
northern Italy. An island city, it was once the centre of a maritime republic.
It was the greatest seaport in late medieval Europe and the continent’s
commercial and cultural link with Asia. Venice is unique environmentally,
architecturally, and historically, and in its days as a republic the city was
styled la serenissima (“the most serene” or “sublime”). It remains a major
Italian port in the northern Adriatic Sea and is one of the world’s oldest
tourist and cultural centres.
Since the fall of the Venetian republic in 1797, the city
has held an unrivaled place in the Western imagination and has been endlessly
described in prose and verse. The luminous spectacle of ornate marbled and
frescoed palaces, bell towers, and domes reflected in the sparkling waters of
the lagoon under a blue Adriatic sky has been painted, photographed, and filmed
to such an extent that it is difficult to distinguish the real city from its
romantic representations. The visitor arriving in Venice is still transported
into another world, one whose atmosphere and beauty remain incomparable.

(fireplace) and entry way etc. 'Orientalism' refers to the representation of
the East in Western art which often blurred the line between fantasy and
reality. The Orientalist art movement reached its height during the 19th
century and is perhaps best known today for its production of impressive oil
paintings and works on paper. These paintings were popular in the 19th century,
as Europeans and North Americans increasingly turned their attentions to
cultures overseas. The works were mostly by male Western artists, made to
satisfy an enormous public interest in the lands of the Middle East and North
Africa.
Many artists
travelled to the places they depicted, whether Constantinople, Jerusalem, Cairo
or Marrakesh. Others travelled no further than Paris or Vienna, using a mixture
of photographs, props and imagination for inspiration. Recurring images
included everything from detailed sketches of everyday life to highly
imaginative scenes of the harem. Interest in Orientalism developed in tandem
with European colonial activity, which allowed soldiers, traders and artists
greater access to the places and peoples of these regions. An important function of Orientalist
painting was to create a visual record of places of interest. Such images were
aimed at a growing market of Europeans and North Americans who either visited
the Middle East and North Africa or were interested in the regions from afar.
Travel was made easier by steamships and trains, so paintings tended to focus
on cities, such as Constantinople, Cairo and Marrakesh, the arrival points for
artists and their potential customers alike. Some images depicted sites of religious
importance, both Christian and Muslim, while others captured the ancient sites
of pre-Islamic history

A beautiful large and important masterpiece by Francois
Alfred Delobbe.
A similar artwork old master was sold April 18 2008 at
Sotheby's for $181,000.00 + 20%
Delobbe's two most powerful inspirations were his deep
connection to the French countryside and William Bouguereau, his teacher at the
École des Beaux-Arts. Born in Paris and absorbed in his studies for so many
years, the young artist had few opportunities to escape the city. It was not
until Delobbe journeyed to Concarneau, the native home of his friend and fellow
artist Alfred Guillou, that he began to explore Brittany's rocky fields and
ancient villages. While the region was painted by many of Delobbe's contemporaries,
most famously Jules Breton, Delobbe's Parisian upbringing perhaps made him
particularly sensitive to the effects of the open skies, verdant fields, and
sweeping, sandy beaches. Most of his traveling took place in spring and summer,
and he used the plein air sketches completed then during the winter in his City
Studio. Many of his favorite models came from the areas around Beuzec-cap-Sizun
and Lanriec,
As with his mentor's canvases, Delobbe's smooth brushwork
erases the presence of the painter and creates a balance between immobile,
static form and rich surface details, textures, and colors. Visual evidence
that a rustic, rural way of life remained, such portraits eased late nineteenth
century anxieties about France's growing industrialization. There is a
naturalistic truth to Delobbe's representation of the Characters, the skin
slightly reddened by rough winds and harsh sun, taking a break on a pile of Hay
by her infant and older daughter. Almost effortlessly, from her tool to the
back right side, while on her lap rests a large sifting tool. While this
process was notoriously labor-intensive, Delobbe's working woman reveals little
of the effort involved. With her stoic stance and calm expression the artist
creates an epic figure to join the ranks of Breton's strong-armed field hand in
or the maid busy haying in Julien Dupré's The Harvester (figs 2, 3). In her
solemnity, Delobbe's sifter becomes an icon of rural labor, her powerful
strength and work never ceasing, her connection to the land monumental, yet
sensitively portrayed.
She always remained the lifelong Mistress of Henry II “throughout all his wives”He even gave her Chateau D’Anet and the Chenanceau . A very well read and highly educated Woman , smart and loved hunting and trusted with the Crown Jewels of France Had always her 2 “levrettes” Dogs as part of the design and décor . Even when you go to the “Louvre” , you will see the sculpture made of her as a reclining nude with Her Levrettes dogs and a stag.

William Lester
Stevens
Born in Rockport,
Massachusetts, Stevens received his initial art training from Parker Perkins, a
local marine painter who charged him fifty cents an hour. He later spent four
years at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts School, where he studied under Edmund Tarbell,
among others. Although influenced by Tarbell, Stevens' wide range of
brushstrokes and impressionist style prevented him from being classified as a
"Tarbellist," as many of Tarbell's followers were labeled.
Stevens joined the
Army in 1917 and was sent to Europe where he continued to paint and sketch.
Upon his return to the United States, he was pleased to discover that Rockport
had become a popular haven for artists. Though he was the only native son among
them, such well-known painters as Frank Duveneck, Childe Hassam, Leon Kroll and
Jonas Lie also recorded the scenery of Rockport, Cape Ann and Gloucester. In
1921, together with fifty other artists, Stevens founded the Rockport Art
Association, primarily to plan exhibitions of the work of outstanding area
artists.
Throughout the
course of his long career, Stevens taught, first in Rockport, then at Boston
University (1925-1926) and Princeton (1927-1929). He later gave lessons and
held one-man shows in Charlotte and Asheville, North Carolina, where his work
was well-received. Southerners particularly enjoyed his views of famous
Southern gardens and cities.
Though the
Depression years were difficult for both the artist and his family, the 1930s
did bring Stevens some measure of commercial and personal success. He did a
number of covers for The American Legion Magazine and won prizes in New Haven,
Springfield and Rockport. In 1934, he abandoned Rockport to the growing tourist
population and moved to Springfield, and then to Conway, Massachusetts, where
he remodeled an old farmhouse and constructed a studio which looked north
towards Mount Monadnock. Except for summer trips made in the 1960s to Lubec,
Maine, Campobello Island and Grand Manan Island, Stevens lived and painted in
Conway for the rest of his life.
Primarily an oil
painter, Stevens also used watercolor and acrylics. Although he was proficient
in all three, oils allowed him greater versatility; more significantly, Stevens
simply liked oils better. A superb craftsman, Stevens painted rapidly and with
assurance, but always took time to find the best vantage point. He understood
the importance of placing himself where he could create the best composition
and "took the liberty of moving objects so that the composition would meet
his desires." This is perhaps why Stevens would later conclude that
"fine pictures are the result of fine minds (Greenfield, p. 13).
Stevens continued to
create views of New England until almost the final day of his life, June 10,
1969. He died in Conway, Massachussetts.

In the prime of his career, Allori headed one of the
"two most important workshops in Florence in the second half of the 16th
century" (the other being headed by Santi di Tito). He served as First
Consul of the Accademia del Disegno in 1573, and was made head of the Arazzeria
Medicea, Florence's state-owned tapestry workshop, in 1581. Allori also worked,
under the guidance of Giorgio Vasari, among the team of artists who decorated
the Studiolo of Francesco I. He contributed two painted panels, depicting a
Banquet of Cleopatra and a landscape with figures diving for pearls.
The cold and polished appearance of his painted figures
makes them resemble statues as much as living beings. The art historian Simona
Lecchini Giovannoni is more positive, remarking that Allori lends life and
immediacy to his paintings through his minute and realistic depictions of
vegetal motifs (especially flowers), household articles, and textiles of all
kinds; the "grandiose, introverted figures" are thus enabled to
"approach the spectator, not with dialogue and sentiment, but through the
tangible evidence of objects and details"
Among his collaborators was Giovanni Maria Butteri and his
main pupil was Giovanni Bizzelli. Cristofano dell'Altissimo Cesare Dandini Aurelio Lomi John Mosnier,
Alessandro Pieroni, Giovanni Battista Vanni, and Monanni also were his pupils.
He was the father of the painter Cristofano Allori (1577–1621).
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.

water came from cisterns that collected rain water, often in the center of
public squares and castles. The cisterns were topped with stone wellheads that
often were decorated with floral motifs, symbols family crests or emblems. Wellheads
were not only functional but also enhanced the architecture and aesthetics of
the city and were a medium through which the government, “scuole Grandi”, and
noble patricians expressed their identity.

the 15th century Renaissance period with the emblems family crest and motifs.
