Little Gunver

picture info	Little Gunver ''Little Gunver'' (Danish: Liden Gunver) is a song and fictional character in Johannes Ewald and Johann Hartmann's singspiel ''The Fishermen'' (Danish: Fiskerne) which premiered at the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen in 1780. It is also the name of a bronze sculpture by Theobald Stein in Rosenborg Castle Garden. ''The Fishermen'' was partly inspired by true events which had taken place a few years earlier. A group of fishermen from Hornbæk saved the crew from a wrecked British ship and later refused to receive the customary reward. Instead a nobleman granted them an annual amount for the rest of their lives. Song The song about Little Gunver is about a young girl who is drawn to the bottom of the sea by an alluring but deceitful merman. The song is song by one of the eponymous fishermen to show their superstition. The song is a pastiche written in the style of a traditional medieval ballade (''folkevise''). It is based on '' Nøkkens svig'' which is included in Peder Syv's c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Pastiche A pastiche is a work of visual art, literature, theatre, music, or architecture that imitates the style or character of the work of one or more other artists. Unlike parody, pastiche pays homage to the work it imitates, rather than mocking it. The word is a French cognate of the Italian noun , which is a pâté or pie-filling mixed from diverse ingredients. Metaphorically, and describe works that are either composed by several authors, or that incorporate stylistic elements of other artists' work. Pastiche is an example of eclecticism in art. Allusion is not pastiche. A literary allusion may refer to another work, but it does not reiterate it. Moreover, allusion requires the audience to share in the author's cultural knowledge. Both allusion and pastiche are mechanisms of intertextuality. By art Literature In literary usage, the term denotes a literary technique employing a generally light-hearted tongue-in-cheek imitation of another's style; although jocular, it is ...

picture info	Bronze Sculptures In Copenhagen Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12–12.5% tin and often with the addition of other metals (including aluminium, manganese, nickel, or zinc) and sometimes non-metals, such as phosphorus, or metalloids such as arsenic or silicon. These additions produce a range of alloys that may be harder than copper alone, or have other useful properties, such as strength, ductility, or machinability. The archaeological period in which bronze was the hardest metal in widespread use is known as the Bronze Age. The beginning of the Bronze Age in western Eurasia and India is conventionally dated to the mid-4th millennium BCE (~3500 BCE), and to the early 2nd millennium BCE in China; elsewhere it gradually spread across regions. The Bronze Age was followed by the Iron Age starting from about 1300 BCE and reaching most of Eurasia by about 500 BCE, although bronze continued to be much more widely used than it is in modern times.

picture info	Sculptures By Theobald Stein Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. Sculpture is the three-dimensional art work which is physically presented in the dimensions of height, width and depth. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramic art, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or Molding (process), moulded or Casting, cast. Sculpture in stone survives far better than works of art in perishable materials, and often represents the majority of the surviving works (other than pottery) from ancient cultures, though conversely traditions of sculpture in wood may have vanished almost entirely. However, most ancient sculpture was brightly painted, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
