Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In November of 1747, the people of Boston rose up against the British Navy and their impressment practices. They placed a deputy sheriff in the stocks, seized officers of the Lark as hostages, and broke the windows of the Council chamber. #2 Following in the tradition of English riots, American colonists took to the streets to demonstrate their opposition to the British taxation which followed the French and Indian War. By the end of 1765, the stamp distributors in all colonies except Georgia had resigned their posts. #3 The Stamp Act riots were a result of the British Parliament trying to stamp out American independence. They were a mix of poor laborers and seamen who were angry at the rich merchants and officials who flaunted their wealth or abused their power. #4 As the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act, many colonists objected to the abuse of power by the British Parliament. The issue was simple and straightforward: no taxation without representation.
Raphael at the Metropolitan

Pages : 78
Book Description
Raphael has been the indispensable reference point for countless artists, great and small, Italian and non-Italian. His frescoes in the Vatican quickly asserted themselves as paradigms of the Grand Manner, while his serenely beautiful Madonnas and calmly dignified portraits redefined their respective genres. The combination of clarity and complexity in his compositions results in an ineffable quality of innate grace that many artists have since tried to emulate. Not only Parmigianino, Carracci, Poussin, Ingres, and Degas but Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Manet, and Picasso also mined Raphael's works for inspiration. The Colonna Altarpiece is the only altarpiece by Raphael in an American collection. Raphael painted this work in his early twenties for a convent of nuns in Perugia on the eve of his move to Florence. The two main panels of the altarpiece were bought by former Museum president J. Pierpont Morgan, and later given as a gift to the Museum's Collection in 1916. This volume accompanies an exhibition that reunites all seven parts of the altarpiece for the first time since the seventeenth century: the two main panels in the Metropolitan together with the five components of its predella, divided among the Metropolitan, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, and the National Gallery and the Dulwich Picture Gallery, both in London. Also included is a fine selection of paintings and drawings by Raphael executed during the same period, 1502-5 A.D. Additionally, this exhibition showcases a preliminary study, now in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, for the landscape in the Metropolitan's altarpiece, as well as the beautiful painting Madonna and Child with a Book from the Norton Simon Art Foundation in Pasadena. These works document one of the pivotal moments in Raphael's career, when the young artist abandoned Perugia, in Umbria, and set his sights on Florence, where he encountered the work of Fra Bartolommeo and Leonardo da Vinci. To contextualize the transformative effect of this move, paintings by his master, Perugino, as well as by Pinturicchio and Fra Bartolommeo are also exhibited. -- Metropolitan Museum of Art website.
