Vietnamese pottery and ceramics were an essential part of the trade between Vietnam and its neighbors during feudalistic times, throughout many dynasties. Данное издание не является...

Painted ca. 1660-1661, the painting of the Dutch artist's hometown is among his most popular. Painted at a time when cityscapes were not commonplace, it is one of three known paintings of Delft by Vermeer, along with The Little Street and the lost painting House Standing in Delft. The use of pointillism in the work suggests it postdates The Little Street. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд после получения заказа.

View from the Window at Le Gras (La cour du domaine du Gras) was the first successful permanent photograph, created by Nicephore Niepce in 1826 at Saint-Loup-de-Varennes. Niepce captured the photo with a camera obscura focused onto a sheet of 20 x 25 cm oil-treated bitumen. As a result of the 8-hour exposure, sunlight illuminates the buildings on both sides. After an unsuccessful trip to Britain to attempt to interest the Royal Society in the process, Niepce gave the photo to the botanist Francis Bauer. It was last publicly exhibited in 1898, and was thereafter forgotten. Helmut Gernsheim brought the photo to...

It is now in the Prado. There is some controversy as to its date, with some scholars believing it was made during the artist's first trip to Italy (1629-31) and others feeling its advanced technique must mean it belongs to his second trip (1649-51).

Austrian,Viktor Lowenfeld (1903–1960) was a professor of art education at the Pennsylvania State University. Born in Linz, Austria in 1903, Viktor Lowenfeld had always been drawn to the arts. Through his personal narration, Lowenfeld mentioned that he was pulling toward music at an early age – probably four or five. He started to play violin at the age of nine or ten. And because he used to play from sound, rather than notes, he was often called a “Gypsy.” That same year Lowenfeld started painting. This early exposure to the visual and performing arts led him to a career devoted to the practice of...

Her love for literature began at the age of twelve, when her mother read her "Skripka Rotschil'da," (“Rothschild's Violin”), a short story by Chekhov.[1] However, this love for literature did not immediately translate into a desire to be a writer – as a young woman, Tokareva initially applied to study medicine. When her application was rejected, she decided to study music instead, spending four years studying the piano at the Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory. Данное издание не является...
