Jacques Joseph Coiny
Jacques-Joseph, Jacques Joseph or Joseph Coiny (19 March 1761 – 28 May 1809) was a French engraver. The Aretin or Collection of Erotic Postures His best-known work remains his 20 engravings of erotic poses for Augustine Carracci's The Aretin or Collection of Erotic Postures, published by Pierre Didot in Paris in 1798. Its title refers to the supposed but impossible collaboration between Agostino Carracci (1557-1602) and Pietro Aretino (1492-1556) on a collection of erotic images and verse entitled ''I Modi'', but it was not based on their work. Instead, Coiny's works seem to have been inspired by the erotic poses in 'The Loves of the Gods' executed in Antwerp at the start of the 17th century in burin by Pieter de Jode I (1570–1634). This theory is one of at least two theories that each describe what images Augustine Carracci's The Aretin or Collection of Erotic Postures was based on. In effect, Coiny seems to have had a set of six anonymous prints, but it is difficult to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Giulio Romano
Giulio Romano (, ; – 1 November 1546), is the acquired name of Giulio Pippi, who was an Italian painter and architect.

Pierre-Narcisse Guérin
Pierre-Narcisse, baron Guérin (13 March 1774 – 6 July 1833) was a French painter born in Paris. Background A pupil of Jean-Baptiste Regnault, he carried off one of the three ''grands prix'' offered in 1796, in consequence of the competition not having taken place since 1793. In 1799, his painting ''Marcus Sextus'' (Louvre) was exhibited at the Salon and excited wild enthusiasm. Part of this was due to the subject – a victim of Sulla's proscription returning to Rome to find his wife dead and his house in mourning – in which an allusion was found to the turmoil of the French Revolution. Guérin on this occasion was publicly crowned by the president of the Institute, and went to Rome to study under Joseph-Benoît Suvée.

Académie Des Beaux-arts (France)
An academy ( Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of secondary or tertiary higher learning (and generally also research or honorary membership). The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, '' Akademos''. Outside the city walls of Athens, the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe". In these gardens, the philosopher Plato conversed with followers. Plato developed his sessions into a method of teaching philosophy and in 387 BC, established what is known today as the Old Academy. By extension, ''academia'' has come to mean the accumulatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
