Poet
A poet is a person who studies and creates poetry. Poets may describe themselves as such or be described as such by others. A poet may simply be the creator (thought, thinker, songwriter, writer, or author) who creates (composes) poems (oral tradition, oral or literature, written), or they may also performance, perform their art to an audience. The work of a poet is essentially one of communication, expressing ideas either in a literal sense (such as communicating about a specific event or place) or metaphorically. Poets have existed since prehistory, in nearly all languages, and have produced works that vary greatly in different cultures and periods. Throughout each civilization and language, poets have used various styles that have changed over time, resulting in countless poets as diverse as the literature that (since the advent of writing systems) they have produced. History Ancient poets The civilization of Sumer figures prominently in the history of early poetry, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Italian Brigands Surprised By Papal Troops
''Italian Brigands Surprised by Papal Troops'' is an 1831 painting produced in Rome by Horace Vernet. It is kept at the Walters Art Museum, in Baltimore. History The painter Horace Vernet came to Italy in 1829, when he was already a well-known artist. He remained there until 1834 and worked as the director of the French Academy in Rome. During his travels, he made around 20 paintings with the same colorful subjects and episodes of local life in the Roman countryside. They were works comparable to other painters who traveled Italy and mixed artistic classicism with research into color and local costumes. Vernet was considered a leader among these French painters, making him the juste milieu between the traditions of Romanticism and Neoclassicism. The painting was recorded in the "John T. Johnston Collection", which was sold by its owner to William T. Walters of Baltimore on 20 December 1876 for $10,110, the most expensive work in Johnston's collection. In 1894, it passed to Henry ...

Portrait Of Louise Vernet
''Portrait of Louise Vernet'' is a portrait painting by the French artist Horace Vernet depicting his daughter Louise Vernet. While Vernet was known for his battle and history paintings, he also produced a number of portraits during his career. Around sixteen years old when she sat for the portrait, Louise later became the wife of the artist Paul Delaroche. At the time Horace Vernet was serving as director of the French Academy in Rome. He shows his daughter in the latest Parisian fashions with the gardens of the Villa Medici, which houses the Academy, in the background. The critic Gustave Planche felt the painting didn't reflect classical aesthetics. However, Vernet had deliberately set out to paint his daughter in the style of Renaissance Art. He originally portrayed Louise holding a rose but altered this to a mallow to emphasise her naturalness. Louise sat for several artists before and during her married life. It was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1831. Today the paintin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Horace Vernet
Émile Jean-Horace Vernet (; 30 June 178917 January 1863) more commonly known as simply Horace Vernet, was a French painter of battles, portraits, and Orientalist subjects. Biography Early career Vernet was born to Carle Vernet, another famous painter, who was himself a son of Claude Joseph Vernet. He was born in the Paris Louvre, while his parents were staying there during the French Revolution. Vernet quickly developed a disdain for the high-minded seriousness of academic French art work which was distinguished by art influenced by Classicism, and decided to paint subjects taken mostly from contemporary life. During his early career, when Napoleon Bonaparte was in power, he began depicting the French soldier in a more familiar, vernacular manner rather than in an idealized, Davidian fashion; he was just twenty when he exhibited the ''Taking of an Entrenched Camp'' Some other of his paintings that represent French soldiers in a more direct, less idealizing style, include ...
