Thomas Eakins: 110 Masterpieces . E-book. Formato Mobipocket Maria Tsaneva - Maria Tsaneva, 2014 -
Thomas Eakins was an American realist painter, photographer, sculptor, and fine arts educator. He is widely acknowledged to be one of the most important artists in American art history. For the length of his professional career, from the early 1870s until his health began to fail some 40 years later, Eakins worked exactingly from life, choosing as his subject the people of his hometown of Philadelphia. He painted several hundred portraits, usually of friends, family members, or prominent people in the arts, sciences, medicine, and clergy. In addition, Eakins produced a number of large paintings which brought the portrait out of the drawing room. These active outdoor venues allowed him to paint the subject which most inspired him: the nude or lightly clad figure in motion. Eakins also took a keen interest in the new technologies of motion photography, a field in which he is now seen as an innovator.
Edwin Landseer: 101 masterpiece. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Maria Tsaneva - Maria Tsaneva, 2014 -
Sir Edwin Henry Landseer was an English painter, well known for his paintings of animals — particularly horses, dogs and stags. The best known of Landseer's works, however, are sculptures: the lions in Trafalgar Square, London. Much of his fame—and his income—was generated by the publication of engravings of his work, many of them by brother Thomas. Reproductions of his works were common in middle-class homes, while he was also popular with the aristocracy. Queen Victoria commissioned numerous pictures from the artists. Initially asked to paint various royal pets, he then moved on to portraits of gamekeepers. Landseer was particularly associated with Scotland, which he had first visited in 1824 and the Highlands in particular, which provided the subjects for many of his important paintings. His works can be found in Tate Britain, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Kenwood House and the Wallace Collection in London.
