Study for a Portrait of a Lady. Artist: Anthony van Dyck (Flemish, Antwerp 1599-1641 London). Dimensions: 19 7/8 × 11 13/16 in. (50.5 × 30 cm). Date: early 17th century.The Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck, Rubens's most brilliant pupil, streaked across the history of British art like a shooting star. After working (1620-21) at the court of James I, van Dyck returned to London in 1632 at the invitation of Charles I. There, he portrayed the sophisticated and privileged members of the Caroline court in a suitably glamorous manner. His distinctive lace-and-satin costumes and dazzling brushwork set the standard for later British portrait painters.Here, van Dyck sketched the dress and hands of an unidentified female sitter (the finished portrait is in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich) using characteristically agitated, darting strokes. The woman's Flemish costume suggests a date of 1627-32 or 1634-35, when van Dyck was in Antwerp and Brussels, away from the political and religious agitation of t

Study in Orange 1903 René Le Bègue French In 1888 George Eastman introduced the first Kodak camera, which came with a one-hundred-exposure roll of newly patented flexible film. Once the consumer had used all the exposures, the camera and film were shipped back to the Eastman Dry Plate Company, where the pictures were developed, printed, and returned to the photographer. Marketed with the promise, "You press the button, we do the rest," the camera made photography available to a much wider audience. Serious art photographers, however, believed that photography's unique expression was best represented by "the rest"-that is, by the very processes taken over by Eastman. As a result, they began to explore more complex printing techniques that imitated other graphic arts. Known internationally as the Pictorialists, they formed the first collective and cogent movement to argue aggressively for photography's place among the fine arts. Le Bègue was a leading French Pictorialist who, beginning

Luohan, after a set attributed to Guanxiu stone carved in 1757; rubbing 18th or 19th century Unidentified Of the many luohan painters throughout Chinese history, none was more influential than the Buddhist monk Guanxiu (832-912), whose wild caricatures inspired generations of artists to depict luohans as exotic, superhuman beings. Guanxiu’s paintings were already considered rare in 1757, when the Qianlong emperor encountered what he believed to be an authentic set in a monastery in Hangzhou. To preserve their appearance, the emperor commissioned copies and had them carved in stone so that rubbings like these could be made. The original paintings are now lost, making these copies some of the most important surviving evidence of Guanxiu’s style.. Luohan, after a set attributed to Guanxiu.
