Jan Boeckhorst: Drawings & Paintings (Annotated)

Raya Yotova

Sinopse

Jan Boeckhorst was a multifaceted artist who produces historical paintings on religious and mythological themes, figurative works, genre scenes, and portraits. Boeckhorst has also worked as a designer for tapestry projects. He is known to have designed eight tapestries on Apollo's myths and also designed for publishers in Antwerp.
There are only three of his signed and dated pictures and five only dated. Because of the small number of signed paintings, it is difficult to locate Bockhorst's works with certainty, and some attributes are disputed amongst art historians.
As was common practice among artists in Antwerp, Boeckhorst often collaborated as an artist with landscape designers Jan Wildens and Jan Brueghel the Younger. Boeckhorst may also have collaborated with Frans Snyders for garland paintings. This genre was initially related to the visual images of the Counter-Reformation Movement and usually involved collaboration between a pictorial artist and a still-life artist. Since the late 1650s, Bockhorst's cooperation with other artists seems to have been suspended.

Louvre and the Hermitage The:...

Charles River Editors

The very name of the Louvre conjures up scenes of art and elegance, and of long halls filled with beauty and people strolling through them whispering quietly among themselves about the glories they are witnessing. Even those who have never been to the Louvre know some of its most prized possessions, from ancient statues to Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”. As the world’s largest museum, the Louvre is unquestionably the cultural highpoint of Paris, a city that has long been considered the cultural center of Europe.
However, life is rarely as simple as one imagines, and the life of the Louvre is no different. While just about everyone is familiar with its history as an art museum, the Louvre’s history goes back over 800 years, and it used to have far different purposes, both as a medieval fortress and a palatial residence for French kings. The Louvre bore witness to mass murder during the French Revolution, and there have been countless accusations of theft and other questionable actions since its opening.
Catherine the Great came to power in the midst of the Enlightenment, which was flourishing in France and Britain, and she would rule as an Enlightened ruler. A known correspondent of Voltaire’s, Catherine sought to modernize Russia and turn it into a force in its own right, creating a rich and cultured court at the same time. Over the course of nearly 35 years in power, Catherine ushered in the Russian Enlightenment and presided over a period of time known as the Golden Age of the Russian Empire.
Moreover, Catherine had an unmatched passion for the arts, and she began a private art collection that would eventually evolve into galleries upon galleries of historical treasures shipped in from all over the world. This fabled museum was none other than the Hermitage, located in the heart of Saint Petersburg, a city founded by the imperial empire's very own Peter the Great.

Adventures of Philip Marlowe The...

Gene Levitt

Philip Marlowe was the most hard-boiled of gumshoes, a Private Investigator who could smell a ruse, taste a betrayal and track down anyone hiding in the shadows.   
 
The radio series was so successful but by 1949 it had the largest audience of any radio show.  That’s quite a claim, and even if not absolutely accurate it’s near the mark.   
 
Marlowe, created by Raymond Chandler, is someone we all seem to know, a door who’s door we would  knock on in times of trial.  His methods might not be totally within the law but hey, these were bad people he was up against and as anyone in the law business knows – needs must. 
 
Gerald Mohr is Philip Marlowe. And he’s ready for his next case.
