Beschreibung

A collection of 15 pictures and a supposed portrait of the painter (in black and white), with introduction and interpretation by Estelle M. Hurll. According to Wikipedia: "Antonio Allegri da Correggio (August 1489 - March 5, 1534), usually known as Correggio, was the foremost painter of the Parma school of the Italian Renaissance, who was responsible for some of the most vigorous and sensuous works of the 16th century. In his use of dynamic composition, illusionistic perspective and dramatic foreshortening, Correggio prefigured the Rococo art of the 18th century... Estelle May Hurll (1863-1924), a student of aesthetics, wrote a series of popular aesthetic analyses of art in the early twentieth century.Hurll was born 25 July 1863 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, daughter of Charles W. and Sarah Hurll. She attended Wellesley College, graduating in 1882. From 1884 to 1891 she taught ethics at Wellesley. Hurll received her A.M. from Wellesley in 1892. In earning her degree, Hurll wrote Wellesley's first master's thesis in philosophy under Mary Whiton Calkins; her thesis was titled "The Fundamental Reality of the Aesthetic." After earning her degree, Hurll engaged in a short career writing introductions and interpretations of art, but these activities ceased before she married John Chambers Hurll on 29 June 1908."

Autor

Estelle May Hurll (1863-1924) was a 19th-century art critic and author, renowned for her contributions to the field of art history and art criticism. Hurll's work focused on the aesthetic education and appreciation of art through detailed analysis of individual artists and their works. Her scholarly approach often combined biographical details with critical assessments of artists' styles and techniques, making art more accessible to a lay audience. One of her notable works is 'Correggio', which delves into the life and art of Antonio Allegri da Correggio, an influential Italian Renaissance painter. This book exemplifies Hurll's ability to articulate the nuanced characteristics of Renaissance art, emphasizing Correggio's use of chiaroscuro and his skill in depicting emotions and movement, elements that have made him lauded as a precursor to the Baroque style. Hurll's literary style frequently employed a didactic tone, intending to educate readers on the importance of art's cultural and aesthetic qualities. Her writings stand as an important contribution to early art history pedagogy, influencing the way art has been taught and appreciated in the years following her passing. Her works continue to serve as valuable resources for those interested in the art and artists of the Renaissance period.
