British Women Artists Emerge - An Overlooked 20th Century Phenomenon

/
Western art before the 20th-century was dominated by male artists. There had been celebrated female painters, such as Artemisia Gentileschi, Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun and Rosa Bonheur, but it wasn’t until the early 1900s that women began to enjoy comparable success with their male counterparts.
The exhibition features more than sixty works by the four artists
Now a new exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery explores this breakthrough which has been taken for granted for nearly a century. The roots of this lay in the Victorian era, when those born, raised and educated in the later decades of the 1800s were able to seize upon the huge changes in society, occurring during a time of burgeoning modernism, transformation and increasing emancipation.

In praise of shadows: artists inspired by darkness | Christie's

In the painting
Salvator Mundi, circa 1500, Leonardo depicts Christ as a supernatural apparition, an ethereal form surrounded by a smoky darkness where God is thought to exist.
Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606-1669)
By the 17th century, many artists had begun to use darkness as a way of conveying the mysteries of religion. An artist with an intense preoccupation with the night was Rembrandt, whose paintings often appear overwhelmed by shadows.

Who was Marcantonio Raimondi? | Christie's

The Climbers, 1510. Engraving on laid paper. Sheet 284 x 224 mm. Sold for £4,750 on 14 December 2017 at Christie’s in London
Raimondi was also skilled enough to combine different sources in one print, as he did with The Climbers (above): a landscape copied from Lucas van Leyden, in which he set three male nudes lifted from the cartoon for Michelangelo’s never-realised fresco,
The Battle of Cascina.
By around 1510, Raimondi had settled in Rome. It was there that he struck up one of the greatest artistic double-acts of the Renaissance: with Raphael.
Giorgio Vasari thought Raimondi worthy of a whole chapter in his book,

"Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel Exhibition" at The Croft Downtown Brings Rome to Phoenix

The exhibit consists of large fabric panels, organized for the most part just like the real Sistine Chapel in the Vatican in Rome: above your head are scenes from Creation; along the walls are the panels depicting scenes from Genesis, Biblical prophets, and ancestors of Christ.
Mark Biallas, CEO of See Global Entertainment, the company that produced the show, says the inspiration came from a visit to Rome.
"It goes back to an experience I had at the Sistine Chapel," he says. "The lines, the noise, the crowd, you can’t take pictures. [The panels] are up there — people don’t realize how big they are.

Jean-Etienne Liotard portrait Philibert Cramer | Christie's

Jean-Etienne Liotard’s
Portrait of Philibert Cramer — a masterpiece of the Enlightenment
From London to Constantinople, Liotard was the portraitist of choice for princes, popes and kings. Still owned by the descendants of the sitter, this depiction of Voltaire’s publisher is a sublime example of why his skills were in such great demand
Jean-Etienne Liotard (1702-1789) is occasionally referred to as a ‘journeyman’ artist. However, it would be entirely wrong to imagine him on the move from place to place soliciting commissions. During the 18th century, his services as a portraitist were in constant demand from royals, aristocrats and other elite clients across Europe.

n stark chronological terms, Graham Greene (1904-1991) was a member of that spangled generation of British writers born in the golden decade between 1900 and 1910, a logjam of talent that included such mighty timbers as George Orwell and Evelyn Waugh (both born in 1903), Christopher Isherwood (1904), Anthony Powell and Henry Green (both 1905) and W.H. Auden (1907). Generational solidarity went only so far among this gang of highly individual Edwardian contenders, and so the views of Greene held by his professional peers are always worth attending to.

In this pandemic year, many of us will be celebrating Christmas under the shadow of grief and uncertainty. But Christmas, like the pagan winter festivals that preceded it, has always carried more than a hint of darkness. The joyous celebration of the birth of the Christian savior has often been an occasion for melancholy and nostalgia, particularly when families are separated by war or other tragic events.
