Katharine Baetjer Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

"This authoritative book surveys the remarkable collection of 18th-century French paintings at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in the context of the institutions that governed the visual arts in the 1700s -- the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, the Académie de France à Rome, and the Paris Salon. The works catalogued feature stunning examples by leading painters of the period, including Antoine Watteau, Jean Siméon Chardin, François Boucher, Joseph Siffred Duplessis, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, Hubert Robert, Jacques Louis David, the Van Blarenberghes, and François Gérard. Katharine Baetjer provides an incisive history of the Académie Royale, its formation, principles, and regulations, and explores the beginnings of public art discourse in France. Organized chronologically by artists' birth years, the book includes a short biography of each artist and in-depth discussions of individual paintings that incorporate the most up-to-date scholarship, while numerous comparative illustrations provide essential context."--Yale University Press website

Constable/Links is a highly esteemed catalogue raisonné, first published in 1962 after over 40 years of research by W. G. Constable and later revised by J.G. Links in 1969. Since then, new material has emerged, including lost paintings and receipts from Canaletto's time in England, which Links has compiled in a supplement. He also provides insightful essays on several paintings and a comprehensive introduction reflecting the current state of Canaletto scholarship. The catalogue features 48 pages of plates illustrating these new works and comparative material. Canaletto (1697–1768) initially gained recognition for his Venetian views, becoming the most successful Italian painter in the 1730s and 1740s. His enduring popularity among Old Master painters stems from the effortless enjoyment his oeuvre provides. While often perceived as focusing solely on the visible world, Canaletto infused his early work with reflective insight and occasionally ventured into fantasy. This book accompanies the first exhibition of Canaletto's work in the U.S., tracing his artistic evolution through various phases. It highlights collections, including those owned by Queen Elizabeth II and the National Gallery, London, which features "The Stonemason's Yard." Essays by notable authorities, including J.G. Links and Michael Levey, further illuminate Canaletto's life and work, with discussions by curators from The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
