| | |  Delacroix: Encyclopedia - Pablo PicassoPablo Ruiz Picasso (Full name) (October 25, 1881 in Málaga, Spain – April 8, 1973) was a Spanish painter and one of the most recognized figures in 20th century art, probably most famous as the co-founder, along with Georges Braque, of cubism.

| | | | Delacroix: Encyclopedia - Ary Scheffer Ary Scheffer (February 10, 1795 - June 15, 1858), French painter of Dutch extraction, was born at Dordrecht.
After the early death of his father, a poor painter, Ary was taken to Paris and placed in the studio of Guérin by his mother, a woman of great energy and character. The moment at which Scheffer left Guérin coincided with the commencement of the Romantic movement. He had little sympathy with the directions given to it by either of its most conspicuous representatives, Sigalon, Delacroix or Géricault, and made various t ...

| | | | Delacroix: Encyclopedia II - Hector Berlioz - Biography Berlioz was born in France at La Côte-Saint-André, between Lyon and Grenoble. His father was a physician and young Hector was sent to Paris to study medicine at the age of eighteen.

| | | | Delacroix: Encyclopedia II - Pablo Picasso - Personal life Picasso hated to be alone when he wasn't working.

Picasso married twice and had four children by three women.

| | | | Delacroix: Encyclopedia II - Titian - Maturity During the next period (1530-1550), as was foreshadowed by his Martyrdom of St. Peter, Titian devoted himself more and more to the dramatic style. From this time date his historical scenes, of which unhappily it is difficult to judge, the most characteristic having been much injured or destroyed; thus, the Battle of Cadore, the artist's greatest effort to master movement and to express even tumult, his most violent attempt to go out of himself and achieve the heroic, wherein he rivals the War of Pisa, The Battle of An ...

Rococo - Furniture and Decorative Objects.
The lighthearted themes and intricate designs of Rococo presented themselves best on a smaller scale than the imposing Baroque architecture and sculpture. It is not surprising, then, that French Rococo art was at home indoors. Metalwork, porcelain figures, and especially furniture rose to new pre-eminence as the French upper class ...

| | | | Delacroix: Encyclopedia II - Lithography - Printing
Lithography - The principle.
In lithography the entire print block comes in contact with the paper sheet, and a chemical process confines the ink to the desired image on the block. This contrasts with relief printing where the ink is carried on a raised image, and intaglio, where it lies in the grooves of an incised image. Because the print block is flat rather than relief, lithography is described as a planographic print process.
Li ...

Caravaggio - Early life 1571-1592.
Caravaggio’s father Fermo Merisi was a household administrator and architect-decorator to Francesco Sforza, Marchese of Caravaggio, a town some thirty kilometers from Milan. His mother, Lucia Aratori, came from a propertied family of the same district.

In 1576 ...
