Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) is the most important painter of
sketches in the history of European art. His Italian and Flemish
predecessors had for the most part prepared their paintings by
using drawings. Rubens transformed this process by systematically
making sketches in colour, with oil paint, and nearly always on
panel supports. Rubens's oil sketches were essentially a new form
of painting. They brought together the design and colour stages of
preliminary work. Because their purpose was to advance another work
of art, oil sketches demanded less effort and time than the final
products, and this translated into a less polished finish and
smaller size. Rubens's sketches invite us to indulge in his art.
They are powerful, vivid renditions of a variety of themes, from
ancient history and mythology to religion, still life and
portraits. They combine seriousness of purpose and a zest for life,
transmitted through a masterly lightness of touch. Their small size
and appearance of incompleteness draw us in and entice us to look
closely. Their sheer quality is a great source of pleasure and
learning. This catalogue presents detailed studies and superb
illustrations of eighty-two of Rubens's most eloquent oil sketches,
and two essays explaining the historical context from which they
emerged, their salient features and how they were viewed by
contemporaries.
By the age of just twenty-two, Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641) had
produced over 160 paintings, many of them ambitious compositions of
remarkable quality. This book offers an in-depth study of the
artist's early career, spanning the eight years between 1613, when
the artist was just fourteen, to his departure for Italy from
Antwerp in October 1621. Were the paintings he created during these
years his only legacy, he would still be recognized as one of the
greatest artists of the 17th century. Van Dyck's precocious talents
are brilliantly demonstrated in the many important works reproduced
here, among them such strikingly original masterpieces as The
Betrayal of Christ and Saint Jerome in the Wilderness. Others - The
Entry of Christ into Jerusalem and The Lamentation, for example -
reveal Van Dyck at his most experimental, in search of new ways of
increasing the visual impact of his compositions. Van Dyck was also
one of the first painters to rise to the challenge of Rubens'
omnipresent influence, evident in works such as Christ Crowned with
Thorns.
La presente investigacion realiza un acercamiento a factores
relevantes que se encuentran presentes en el proceso de
ensenanza-aprendizaje y que afectan a los adolescentes, tales como
Autoestima, Motivacion y Apoyo familiar. Su objetivo principal es
conocer y describir dichos factores, ademas medir el nivel en estas
tres areas mencionadas en los alumnos del nivel NM1 del Colegio
Juan Piamarta de la ciudad de Talca. Es en aquel establecimiento
donde se llevo a cabo la investigacion, durante el primer semestre
del presente ano, para ello se adopto una metodologia de trabajo
sustentada en el paradigma cuantitativo, siendo una investigacion
de tipo no experimental, ademas es de caracter transeccional, es
decir, recolecta datos en un momento determinado (Primer Semestre
2007). A su vez en la forma en que aborda el fenomeno de
investigacion lo hace de manera descriptiva. En cuanto a las
tecnicas de recopilacion de informacion, se aplicaron tres
instrumentos, uno para cada area, los cuales arrojaron buenos
niveles en las tres areas estudiadas."
