Josef Kramolín
Josef Kramolín (11 April 1730 – 27 April 1802) was a Czech Jesuit brother and painter. He primarily painted religious-themed frescoes. Early life The registry records in Nymburk parish show a record of the baptism of 12 April 1730. He was baptized as Josef Karel. His parents were already permanently settled in Nymburk, named Joseph George Kramolín (1706 - 1733) and Barbara, née White (1701-1751). Kramolín had two siblings, a brother Wenceslas (1733-1799), who was also a painter by vocation, and a sister, Barbara, Dorothy (1732 -?). Kramolín was guided by his parents to sing, and in 1743 he worked briefly in a chorus in the St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague. He also lived in a Benedictine monastery in the church. After Prague began besieging Prussians he briefly returned to Nymburk, then soon went to Kutná Hora, in seminars at the church to complete his education. In Kutna Hora he received the rudiments of the art of painting from the artist Vit Hrdlicka. In 1751 Kramolín ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Altarpiece
An altarpiece is an artwork such as a painting, sculpture or relief representing a religious subject made for placing at the back of or behind the altar of a Christian church. Though most commonly used for a single work of art such as a painting or sculpture, or a set of them, the word can also be used of the whole ensemble behind an altar, otherwise known as a reredos, including what is often an elaborate frame for the central image or images. Altarpieces were one of the most important products of Christian art especially from the late Middle Ages to the era of the Counter-Reformation. Many altarpieces have been removed from their church settings, and often from their elaborate sculpted frameworks, and are displayed as more simply framed paintings in museums and elsewhere. History Origins and early development Altarpieces seem to have begun to be used during the 11th century, with the possible exception of a few earlier examples. The reasons and forces that led to the developme ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Baroque
The Baroque (, ; ) is a style of architecture, music, dance, painting, sculpture, poetry, and other arts that flourished in Europe from the early 17th century until the 1750s. In the territories of the Spanish and Portuguese empires including the Iberian Peninsula it continued, together with new styles, until the first decade of the 19th century. It followed Renaissance art and Mannerism and preceded the Rococo (in the past often referred to as "late Baroque") and Neoclassical styles. It was encouraged by the Catholic Church as a means to counter the simplicity and austerity of Protestant architecture, art, and music, though Lutheran Baroque art developed in parts of Europe as well. The Baroque style used contrast, movement, exuberant detail, deep colour, grandeur, and surprise to achieve a sense of awe. The style began at the start of the 17th century in Rome, then spread rapidly to France, northern Italy, Spain, and Portugal, then to Austria, southern Germany, and Russia. B ...

Suppression Of The Society Of Jesus
The suppression of the Jesuits was the removal of all members of the Society of Jesus from most of the countries of Western Europe and their colonies beginning in 1759, and the abolishment of the order by the Holy See in 1773. The Jesuits were serially expelled from the Portuguese Empire (1759), France (1764), the Two Sicilies, Malta, Parma, the Spanish Empire (1767) and Austria, and Hungary (1782). This timeline was influenced by political manoeuvrings both in Rome and within each country involved. The papacy reluctantly acceded to the anti-Jesuit demands of various Catholic kingdoms while providing minimal theological justification for the suppressions. Historians identify multiple factors causing the suppression. The Jesuits, who were not above getting involved in politics, were distrusted for their closeness to the pope and his power in the religious and political affairs of independent nations. In France, it was a combination of many influences, from Jansenism to free-thou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
