Stories of painters, sculptors, sculptors and architects. Extract from the text of Plate LIII of the American edition of Boydell’s Illustrations of Shakespeare.
It seems appropriate to devote this page to the misadventures that often occur with men of genius in the hope of striking a sympathetic chord. To him the world owes all that is beautiful and useful in art. It is important to know that men have fine imaginations and delicate tastes, which are generally distinguished by keen sensibility, and a lack of more practical qualities. They are often eccentric, and ill-adapted to face the coldness and indifference of the world, much less its scorn and hostility. The history of art is full of examples of sadness.
Contest #817 Summary
When Michelangelo’s contemporary Torregiano finished his beautiful group of Madonna and Child for the Duke of Arcos, he sent two servants with two bags full of money to bring them, with the assurance of a rich reward. There was an order. When the carvers of his palace opened their pockets, they found only a copper maravedi! Filled with rage, he seized his hammer in a moment of uncontrollable rage, and smashed the beautiful group into a thousand pieces, and said to the servants: “Go, take your base metal to your humble master, and tell him That he never would. I have no statue on my hand! The humble nobleman, burning with shame, resolved on a terrible revenge. He brought the unfortunate artist before the Inquisition, charged with desecration for destroying the sacred image. In. Torregiano was captured and sentenced to death by torture. But to avoid this terrible fate he destroyed himself in the dungeon.
It is not necessary to look beyond the history of this work to find a gloomy example of genius experience. Thomas Banks unsuccessfully attempted to introduce high style and heroic sculpture into his country. He could not obtain commissions to create the most beautiful and sublime compositions in marble, and he was forced to confine himself to monumental sculpture. James Barry, after struggling all his days with poverty and neglect, died in a garret, a raging lunatic. A subscription was started to support it. But it was all spent on paying his funeral expenses and building a monument to his memory in the cathedral of St. Louis. Died, Feb. 1806, aged 65! His remains lie in state in the great room of the Adelphi — a true and fitting monument to his genius. The Society asked members of the Royal Academy to decorate their rooms and when everyone else refused, Barry respectfully offered his services free of charge, which were gladly accepted. He spent seven years decorating the apartment with fresco paintings, which the public described as “a national ornament as well as a monument to the artist’s talent and genius”. And Dr. Johnson said, “They show that you won’t find anywhere else.” Note the contrast: Cunningham says that he had only a shilling in his pocket when he began this great work, and that during the execution he lived on extravagant fare, miserable clothing, and occasionally selling pictures. Lived from He can find a buyer!
The life of William Blake paints a less gloomy picture. An eccentric and extraordinary genius, he seemed to communicate with the spirits of the dead in the flights of his wild imagination. And in some of his works there is a truly beautiful grandeur of conception and grandeur of execution. Although not acclaimed during his lifetime, he toiled in extreme poverty with tireless industry while dreaming of future fame. And ancient times were his greatest favourites. Three days before his death he sat up in bed and touched again and again with the best colors in his most cheerful manner. Then he took her by the hand and cried: “There! that will do! I can’t make it right.” When he saw his wife crying, he said, “Hush, Kate! As you are.” I will take a picture of you, because you were an angel to me.” He obeyed, and the dying artist created an illustration. He was cheerful and content till the end. “I am glorious,” said he, “to die, and no sorrow but to leave you, Catherine. We lived happily and we lived long. We were together but soon to be parted.” Why should I fear death! Or do I fear it. I have tried to live according to Christ’s commandments, and to worship God truly.” On the day of his death, August 12, 1827, he wrote and sang hymns of praise to his Creator, which were dear to his ears.
