Лейпциг, 1898 год. Издательство "Verlag von Velhagen & Klasing". Издание со 101 иллюстрацией. Типографская обложка. Сохранность хорошая. Монография посвящена творчеству немецкого художника Франца Фон Ленбаха (1836 - 1904). Вместе с Францем фон Штуком и Фридрихом Августом фон Каульбахом считается представителем мюнхенской школы изобразительного искусства. Ленбах был ведущим персонажем в жизни художественного Мюнхена, а круг друзей-художников Ленбаха, в который входили Вильгельм Буш, Франц Дефреггер и Рудольф Эпп, доминировал в культурной жизни города.

Он стремился в первую очередь передать индивидуальные персональные черты, в то время, как до него было принято показать статус человека в обществе при помощи всевозможных символов и атрибутов.

Francisco de Goya was a Spanish painter and engraver. He began his work in etching by copying the works of Velazquez, but was quickly recognized in his own right.

Goya was famous for his technique and his freedom of expression. This book assembles all of the artist’s masterpieces, including his The Majanude
Pierre-Auguste Renoir is one of the most famous French impressionist painters. Influenced in his early works by Raphael, and creator of more than 6,000 paintings, Renoir gave more importance to the human figure than to the landscape. His works, enriched by a palette that was exclusive and unique to the artist, show us life in Paris at the time. His greatest masterpiece remains the Bal du Moulin de la Galette
Diego Velazquez is one of the world’s most famous artists. Representative of 17th century European painting, he worked for the Spanish court and for the most important figures, completing numerous portraits. Yet, passionate about the human figure, his oeuvre also encompasses bodegones, representations of daily life in the taverns and kitchens of Spain. Considered the father of Spanish painting, Velazquez inspired entire generations of the artists who followed him, including Picasso, Dali, and Bacon. His mysterious painting Las Meninas, which contains the essence of his work, is still today an inexhaustible source for writing and research.
Many great writers like Manzoni, Chateaubriand or Rilke saw, in Michelangelo, an undisputed mastery of the renewal of Western art. His superhuman genius and creative energy qualify Michelangelo as the embodiment of the Italian Renaissance artist; his work unequalled, save only by Leonardo Vinci. His masterpieces the Pietaand David that adorn the Sistine Chapel are evidence of his skill.
Giovanni Antonio Canal, called Canaletto, is one of the most popular of all old master painters, admired for his magnificant views of Venice and London. In the words of one of his contemporaries, Canaletto had the power to paint so that 'the eye is deceived and truly believes it is the real thing it sees'. Apprenticed to his artist father, Canaletto began his career as a scene-painter. He spent his formative years in Venice and is best known for his depictions of the buildings, canals and festivals of his native city, but he also spent several years in England, where he painted many stunning London scenes, including Westminster Bridge, Whitehall and the Old Horse Guards, as well as views of Warwick Castle and Eton College.
