Goya en El Prado: Inicio Los documentos manuscritos de Goya, especialmente sus cartas, tienen un papel esencial para su conocimiento como artista y ser humano. La investigación sobre el pintor pasa necesariamente por el estudio riguroso y sistemático de toda su obra, y por tanto de todos los documentos escritos con él relacionados. En este sentido las cartas a su amigo Martín Zapater, escritas entre 1775 y 1799, los años del ascenso de Goya en la corte hasta su nombramiento como Primer Pintor de Cámara, además de aportar información biográfica de tipo profesional y personal, revelan sin reservas su carácter. Lo mismo ocurre con una de las últimas cartas escritas por el pintor desde su exilio en Burdeos, en este caso al banquero Joaquín María Ferrer, que constituye lo más parecido a un testamento vital del artista en su vejez. Por último, el comentario manuscrito de los Caprichos es una fuente excepcional para comprender el significado otorgado a esta serie en época de Goya.

Rembrandt Signature Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (en néerlandais Écouter[1]), habituellement désigné sous son seul prénom Rembrandt, est un peintre et graveur néerlandais, né à Leyde le 15 juillet 1606 ou 1607[b] et mort à Amsterdam le 4 octobre 1669. Vieux maître innovant et prolifique, il est généralement considéré comme l'un des plus grands artistes visuels de l'histoire de la peinture et l'un des plus importants peintres de l'École hollandaise du XVIIe siècle[2], le siècle d'or néerlandais. Dans ses œuvres, il a exposé sa connaissance de l'iconographie et de la composition classiques, la représentation de ses scènes bibliques étant basée sur son érudition des textes spécifiques. Une des caractéristiques majeures de son œuvre est l'utilisation de la lumière et de l'obscurité (technique du clair-obscur inspirée du Caravage) qui attire le regard par le jeu de contrastes appuyés. Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Famille[modifier | modifier le code] Le 27 avril 1630, son père meurt.

Closer to Van Eyck The panels of the Ghent Altarpiece are coated with layers of varnish. Varnish serves as a protective coating for paint layers and has important optical functions, since it saturates a painting's colors and creates a more even surface. However, most varnishes gradually degrade over time, getting brittle and opaque, and becoming a darkened and yellowed layer that can dramatically impact the perception of a painting's colors and tonal values. Since a degraded varnish will make the dark areas appear lighter, it will also affect our perception of the rendering of volume and space. During the 2010 urgent conservation treatment of the Ghent Altarpiece, cleaning tests were performed to establish the condition, compounds used, and solubility of the varnish layers. The condition of the varnish layers is very poor indeed, and the color balance of the paintings is now dramatically affected by the dirty, degraded coatings.

James Pradier l'atelier de peinture et de dessin : apprendre la peinture et le dessin Remembering an Artist: Jean-Paul Laurens Jean-Paul Laurens (28 March 1838 – 23 March 1921), was a French painter and sculptor, and one of the last major exponents of the French Academic style. Born in Fourquevaux, he was a pupil of Léon Cogniet and Alexandre Bida. Strongly anti-clerical and republican, his work was often on historical and religious themes, through which he sought to convey a message of opposition to monarchical and clerical oppression. Laurens was commissioned to paint numerous public works by the French Third Republic, including the steel vault of the Paris City Hall, the monumental series on the life of Saint Genevieve in the apse of the Panthéon, the decorated ceiling of the Odéon Theater, and the hall of distinguished citizens at the Toulouse capitol. Laurens was a professor at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he taught André Dunoyer de Segonzac and George Barbier. Among Laurens' many students are: Artistic Works:
