Portrait Of Jean Benner 1877, By Jean-Jacques Henner
A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expressions are predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer. History Prehistorical portraiture Plastered human skulls were reconstructed human skulls that were made in the ancient Levant between 9000 and 6000 BC in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period. They represent some of the oldest forms of art in the Middle East and demonstrate that the prehistoric population took great care in burying their ancestors below their homes.

Musée Des Beaux-Arts De Mulhouse
The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Mulhouse is a municipal art museum in Mulhouse, France. It originated with the '' Société industrielle de Mulhouse (SIM)'', a learned society established in 1826 by local industrialists such as Dollfus, Koechlin, and Schlumberger, which had begun collecting artworks in 1831, and was founded in 1864 by Frédéric Engel-Dollfus. The building Since 1985, the museum is housed in a former hôtel particulier, the ''Villa Steinbach'', which consists of a core from 1788 and a wing of 1924, added by the then owner, the SIM. Between 1883 and 1944, the museum had been housed in the monumental building now used for the Musée de l'impression sur étoffes. The collection Due to the insufficient size of the current building only a small fraction of the ca. 1,000 paintings in the collection can be shown. Over half of the paintings still belong to the ''Société industrielle de Mulhouse'' and are on permanent loan to the museum. Many of the paintings belong ...

Painters From Alsace
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the "matrix" or "support"). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. In art, the term ''painting ''describes both the act and the result of the action (the final work is called "a painting"). The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials, including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and even whole objects. Painting is an important form in the visual arts, bringing in elements such as drawing, composition, gesture (as in gestural painting), narration (as in narrative art), and abstraction (as in abstract art). Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in still life and landscape painting), photographic, abstract ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
