Seite 385 - This passage, though it may possibly perplex the critics, is a true and an artist-like description of the effect of glazing or scumbling, such as was practised by Titian and the rest of the Venetian painters. This custom, or mode of operation, implies at least a true taste of that in which the excellence of colouring consists : which does not proceed from fine colours, but true colours ; from breaking down these fine colours which would appear too raw, to a deeptoned brightness. Perhaps the manner...
Seite 306 - Colours," translated by Sir C. Eastlake. "When a yellow colour is communicated to dull and coarse surfaces, such as common cloth, felt, or the like, on which it does not appear with full energy, the disagreeable effect alluded to is apparent. By a slight and scarcely perceptible change, the beautiful impression of h're and gold is transformed into one not undeserving the epithet foul, and the colour of honour and joy reversed to that of ignominy and aversion. To this impression, the yellow hats of...
Seite 417 - It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
Seite 11 - The eye cannot for a moment remain in a particular state determined by the object it looks upon. On the contrary, it is forced to a sort of opposition, which, in contrasting extreme with extreme, intermediate degree with intermediate degree, at the same time combines these opposite impressions, and thus ever tends to a whole, whether the impressions are successive, or simultaneous and confined to one image.
Seite 308 - This colour has a peculiar and almost indescribable effect on the eye. As a hue it is powerful, but it is on the negative side, and in its highest purity is, as it were, a stimulating negation. Its appearance then is a kind of contradiction between excitement and repose.
Seite 329 - In a narrower sense a mass of shadow lighted by reflexes is often thus designated ; but we here use the expression in its first and more general sense. 851. The separation of light and dark from all appearance of colour is possible and necessary. The artist will solve the mystery of imitation sooner by first considering light and dark independently of colour, and making himself acquainted with it in its whole extent.
Seite 32 - During the day, owing to the yellowish hue of the snow, shadows tending to violet had already been observable ; these might now be pronounced to be decidedly blue, as the illumined parts exhibited a yellow deepening to orange. But as the sun at last was about to set, and its rays, greatly mitigated by the thicker va* Reservoirs in which water is collected from various small streams, to work the mines.
Seite 3 - If we pass suddenly from the one state to the other, even without supposing these to be the extremes, but only, perhaps, a change from bright to dusky, the difference is remarkable, and we find that the effects last for some time. 10. In passing from bright daylight to a dusky place we distinguish nothing at first : by degrees the eye recovers its susceptibility ; strong eyes sooner than weak ones ; the former in a minute, while the latter may require seven or eight minutes.
Seite 366 - At a certain distance — the colour being always assumed to be unimpaired by interposed atmosphere — the reflections appear kindled to intenser warmth ; the fiery glow of Giorgione is strikingly apparent ; the colour is seen in its largest relation ; the macchia,^ an expression so emphatically used by Italian writers, appears in all its quantity, and the reflections being the focus of warmth, the hue seems to deepen in shade.
Seite 312 - The effect of this colour is as peculiar as its nature ; it conveys an impression of gravity and dignity, and at the same time of grace and attractiveness. The first, in its deep dark state ; the latter, in its lighter tint, and thus suits both the aged and the young. Green. — The eye experiences a healthy and peculiarly grateful impression from this...
