Hi, all,This’s is my first post created in this subreddit. I’d like to share an interesting digital project of bookplates with you.https://ift.tt/2DSHxQ9 bookplate is a small printed work indicate the ownership of books. It’s pasted into a book, often inside the cover or on the front endpapers. Its origin was situated in Europe of the 15th century and scholars date the earliest example of bookplate to the 1470s. It’s a dying art. that’s why I’m gonna invite you to explore the world of bookplates so as to keep people knowing this art.this’s a project under Creative Commons license. Thank you, hope you will enjoy this!! via /r/ArtHistory https://ift.tt/33LbEni

hey guys. recently i’m thinking really hard about a question. i think it’s an art related one. i couldn’t find the answer for three days. here’s the tips for the answer:- resized into a smaller form later.- the person who created this (thing/artifact/art), was also a painter.- it represents its period really well.- it’s one the firsts in his class.- it was planned to be completed until an important anniversary (of something or someone)- many writers and painters contributed for this thing.and the answer is not ‘the gypsy girl mosaic’, by the way.could you please help me? via /r/ArtHistory https://ift.tt/33OX0ve

Hi!I’m currently preparing a presentation on cityscape paintings in Northern painting (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland). I’m specifically looking for artists who were active in the period from 1860 to 1940. So far I’ve found depictions by Sigrid Hjertén, Anders Zorn and Harald Sohlberg.Do you know any other Northern artists who painted cityscapes? It doesn’t matter whether they did the paintings in Scandinavia or the rest of Europe. I’m also thankful for any suggestions concerning authors or literature that give insights on that matter.Thank you! via /r/ArtHistory https://ift.tt/33PfDPL

Hello all! I’d love to hear about the careers of those who have studied Art History at university. What do you do for a living and how has this degree helped you? Either in securing that position or in your day-to-day life.I’m also particularly interested to hear from those who don’t work as curators in art galleries or museums. via /r/ArtHistory https://ift.tt/2DG0bLf

Years ago my mom bought a large framed print while in New Orleans. It reminded me of The Garden of Earthly delights with all the strangeness Going on in it but it absolutely was not the Garden of Earthly Delights. I can remember, carrots walking around with faces, a barn, pigs, lots of green grass, a fountain and stream. The more you looked at it, the stranger it become. Every thing in the picture had a tiny number by it and there was a chart on the bottom of the picture and you could look at the corresponding number and it would tell you what the character was. All I remember about the name of this print is its something The E___________. I can not remember the E word. Can anybody please help me out? We can’t find what we did with this picture and would like to get another. Thank you all via /r/ArtHistory https://ift.tt/2LcUzfA

Doing a compare/contrast paper. Are my choices good?

Hello! So I’ll be writing a 5-page compare/contrast research paper, and I was just wondering if the artworks that I’ve picked are good enough. So far for my thesis, I’d like to focus on the use of color by the artists to create the mood in the setting. So I’d like to compare either one of these:Manet’s Skating (1877)Lancret’s Dance Before a Fountain (1724)to another painting:Lhermitte’s The Farmworkers’ Meal (1913)But if anybody who could lead me to write a better thesis or suggest some ideas, that would be really helpful. Thank you! via /r/ArtHistory https://ift.tt/2r2IzX1

Reviving Ruined Pompeii Frescoes

Reviving Ruined Pompeii Frescoes (scroll down to see art)For a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFull Article On Medium: https://ift.tt/35F7Vcm Hello to r/ArtHistory!For a Full Catalog, email Orders@HouseOfDivino.comHi Art History Reddit! I wanted to share my work with you all. I’m an Art History nerd and Creative Director. I guide a curated team of illustrators to reviving designs and motifs from the pages of art history, re-engineering them for Fashion. I do this for fun and for a hobby. The result is a catalog of my study into these timeless works of art. I call this project: The House of Divino.For a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comI take my time studying and gravitating to historic sources of art from various cultures, enjoying time in each culture I study. My entry to this realm of modern printmaking was through Neo-Classical elements which always sparkled to me.For a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comAnd so I began my studies by looking into the Frescoes of Pompeii. Their colors and vibrancy, fantastical architectural visions and scenes were made to embellish the room a viewer inhabits and transform it into a world. Such magnitude and power to these delightful visions, which were ruined in the great eruption we all speak of. Luckily, saints through history went back to the ruins, and imagined what the original frescoes looked like, before the ruin. And thanks to their work, I have a color and base reference to further embellish with sources of detail I pull from all matters of books on the subject. I’m able to take the source, and re-imagine it for a modern audience.It’s an apt exercise and something I do for pure pleasure. I’ve divorced myself from the societal delusion of what it is to be a fashion designer, and am doing things my way. What this simply means is I am creating a catalog of my studies into historic arts, and am leaving a trail of fashion behind to be ordered through the ages. My House will have every studied piece available for order to people of all shapes and sizes. I have made a size standard that incorporates traditional to plus size and presents them together on one scale. Each of my designs is fitted custom into the patterns for 12–15 sizes. I don’t want to leave anyone behind, or deny anyone the access to wear the beauty of these historic artworks.If you’re interested in purchasing a piece, feel free to email me at [orders@houseofdivino.com](mailto:orders@houseofdivino.com) , and I can send you a catalog of my designs. I do collect orders and do production runs 4 times a year.Thanks for appreciating my work!​Adam Divino​For a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.comFor a Catalog email, Orders@HouseOfDivino.com​Social Media:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/houseofdivino/https://www.instagram.com/AdamDivino/Twitter:https://twitter.com/theadamdivinoFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/HouseOfDivino/https://www.facebook.com/AdamDivino<3 via /r/ArtHistory https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtHistory/comments/e3pbmj/reviving_ruined_pompeii_frescoes/?utm_source=ifttt

Need some advice – where to study?

I want to transition over to the art world, and think I want to go back for a Masters to do so. I currently work on the business side of music and have for the last 5 years. I hold a Business bachelors degree, with little to no visual art experience. I paint in my free time, and have a rather knowledgeable understanding of art history, but ideally I’d like to learn and train in panting and installation/contemporary art. Though it seems all MFA programs require previous experience with art or a portfolio?I love the way the Sotheby’s MA program looks – it’s centered around the business of art and seems achievable in terms of getting in but…Does anyone have any recs of schools or programs where I could ideally build some of that technical skill in actual art creation?Please let me know! Grazie!! via /r/ArtHistory https://ift.tt/2sfMnV7
