Описание:

Joaqu n Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene he was painting.

Some of the first nudes by Sorolla was gifted to his future father in law, the photographer Antonio Garcia and mother in law Clotilde del Castillo.

When Sorolla won a stipend to study in Rome, nudes were obligatory, but his skills developed being able to convey expressions that the jury back in Valencia found morally improper.

Sorolla painted two magnificent nudes of his wife, a beautiful tribute to their love.

Joaqu n Sorolla however, is especially famous for his nudes of happy children and youth on the beach under the dazzling Valencian sun.

Joaqu n Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene he was painting. He was a master of light.

Joaqu n Sorolla loved his wife and his family. He painted them all the time. He lived in the time when photography was being invented and commercialized. Sorolla created a virtual family album with his wonderful paintings. He invited us to see and share his happiness. Sorolla was not shy about his family as many of his contemporaries were.

He sold many paintings that showed his family, especially his daughter Mar a was a favorite with the public, and Sorolla jokingly called Mar a the breadwinner of the family. He wanted us to share his view of the ideal family as he shared his view of a great and united Spain. Sorolla painted dogs and a cat as pets, as part of the family, superbly catching their soul and character.

Joaqu n Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene he was painting. He lived while photography was being invented and popularized. Some of his breathtaking seascapes show how he was familiar with and employed similar techniques as the photograph. His landscapes are also a great introduction to Spanish history.

Most of his paintings of boats and the sea capture the fishermen in Valencia, who fished from the beach. He has painted several masterpieces of the returning boats being pulled to the beach. The oxen used to pull the boats are captured so strong, so life like, with so much love. He also painted the waiting fisherwomen and the children happily playing. He painted scenes from the lives of the fishermen. Sorolla's paintings are extremely powerful and colorful and although he is usually labelled an impressionist, he is also often very naturalist and detailed. The reader is kindly referred to our book about Sorolla's landscapes.

Описание:

Visit Edo, modern day Tokyo, as experienced by Utagawa Hiroshige in this wonderful tourist guide from the 1850s.

Experience Edo as the Japanese loved it, a sophisticated city catering to a wealthy elite of damiyo, local rulers that regularly had to spend time away from their lands, in Edo, where the shogun could keep an eye on them.

The 100 Famous Views of Edo was one of the popular print series made in Japan, like Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which had been published earlier in the 1830s and which influenced Hiroshige tremendously (ISBN 9782919787159 as hard cover).

But much more important is the influence the 100 Famous Views of Edo had on European impressionists like Van Gogh, Degas, Manet and Monet. Hiroshige impressed with cropped items to create focus and his horizontal format.

Trier is one of the oldest cities in Germany close to one of the smallest countries of the world - The Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, which Christmas Market we already have visited.

The Christmas Market in Trier in its present form has been held for 40 years and is a romantic experience in a Roman and Medieval setting. It is often visited together with the Christmas Market in the picturesque village of Bernkastel-Kues.

The Christmas Market appears to have started in the late Middle Ages in Germany. The Middle Ages is a long historic period in Europe starting abt 500 AD with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and lasting to abt 1500 AD when the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery took over.

It started as the Welcoming of Christ the Child - "Christ Kind" in German - at the beginning of the four Sundays of Advent that ends with Christmas Day, which is the 25 December.

The Christmas market is a fair connected with the seasonal period and infused with our religion, which very much organized everybody's lives back then.

In Medieval times, rights to hold fairs were often granted by the feudal lords to convents and bishoprics both as income generation for the religious work and as a city development tool. Many towns trace their prosperity to the market rights. The close association between the local cathedral and the Christmas market is still evident although the taxes now go elsewhere.

The Malaga Christmas Market is a completely different experience from the Christmas Markets in the German speaking World. This is not only due to the lovely weather but also to significant cultural differences.

Malaga is one of the oldest cities not only in Spain but in the World, inhabited for almost 3000 years.

Malaga has the warmest winters in Europe with an average of 17.3 ^oC in December through February. The Montes de Malaga protects against the Northern weather systems and it is beautifully situated on the Mediterranean Sea. It has close to 600,000 inhabitants, including many pensioners from Northern Europe.
