The Blue Boy, Thomas Gainsborough


Gainsborough painted the portrait in response to the advice of his rival Sir Joshua Reynolds,[3] who had written:
It ought, in my opinion, to be indispensably observed, that the masses of light in a picture be always of a warm, mellow colour, yellow, red, or a yellowish white, and that the blue, the grey, or the green colours be kept almost entirely out of these masses, and be used only to support or set off these warm colours; and for this purpose, a small proportion of cold colour will be sufficient. Let this conduct be reversed; let the light be cold, and the surrounding colour warm, as we often see in the works of the Roman and Florentine painters, and it will be out of the power of art, even in the hands of Rubens and Titian, to make a picture splendid and harmonious.



 Wheatfield with Crows is a July 1890 painting by Vincent van Gogh. It has been cited by several critics as one of his greatest works.

“We have come a long way from the powerful conviction that induced knights and ladies to draw carts of Stone up the hill for the building of Chartres Cathedral. And yet the notion of ideal love, and the irresistible power of gentleness and beauty, which is emblematically conveyed by the homage of these two fierce beasts, can be traced back for three centuries; we may even begin to look for it in the north portal of Chartres.”~~~ Kenneth Clark: Civilisation.

Ivory statuette of Virgin and Child in the Gothic style









 This is an ivory panel relief representing two Maries at the Sepulchre, made in ca. 1320 in France, Paris. Shortly after its discovery this ivory relief was associated with four other reliefs from the Passion, all of similar dimensions, but being the work of more than one sculptor and having originated from a number of different ensembles. The present relief seems to have been cut down at the bottom

“People have suggested that the graceful curve of a Gothic Virgin was due to the curve of the elephant’s tusk out of which it was carved. Not impossible: but this flowing rhythm spread far beyond material necessities. In the ivory plaque of the Maries at the Sepulchre the figures have a musical relationship to one another.” ~~~ Kenneth Clark: Civilisation. Ch3 Romance and Reality

Prov.1:33
 "But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil."


“Well, civilization as I understand it can be created in a monastery or a court just as well as in a city-perhaps rather better. But all the same, the social and economic system that grew up in Italian towns, particularly in Florence in the thirteenth century, had a point. As opposed to the system of chivalry, it was realistic: and the proof is that it has survived. Industrial and banking conditions in Florence at the time of Dante, were surprisingly similar to those that exist in Lombard Street today, except that the double entry wasn’t invented till the fourteenth century.”~~~Kenneth Clark: Civilisation. Ch3 Romance and Reality


“Two dimensional art –tapestry art-is enchanting. It creates its own world of suspended belief. It allows the artist to free his fancy and to decorate his surfaces. But for some reason it can’t develop. It arrives at a limited perfection and there it sticks. But the moment you introduce a third dimension-space, solidity- then the possibilities of expansion and development are limitless.” ~~~Kenneth Clark: Civilisation. Ch3 Romance and Reality


“Giotto had, more than any artist before him, the ability to make his figures look solid. He manages to simplify them into large, comprehensible, apprehensible shapes; and it gives one a profound satisfaction to feel that one can grasp them so completely. He makes his figures more vividly credible because he wishes us to feel more intensely the human drama in which they are involved. Once we have, so to say, learnt Giotto’s language, we can recognize him as one of the greatest masters of painted drama that has ever lived.” ~~~Kenneth Clark: Civilisation. Ch3 Romance and Reality






The Mystic Marriage of St. Francis is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Sasetta, currently housed in the Musée Condé of Chantilly, France.
