The visual arts, indeed, were regarded with some suspicion, particularly by the increasingly powerful middle classes. This was not only due to Puritan dislike of Church imagery, but there was also a popular association of European art with the Roman Catholic Church on one hand, and political absolution and royal prerogative on the other.

He patronised Rubens and Van Dyck and built up a major collection of European paintings and drawings, and had ambitious plans drawn up for Whitehall palace in modern monumental style befitting a major European capital.

But his political blunders turned almost everyone against him. As it was, the most important artists active in England during the 17th century were limited to the portraitists Anthony Van Dyck , William Dobson and Peter Lely ; and the limner Samuel Cooper , who raised the status of miniature painting to that accorded to oil painting.

Fine Art: Definition, Meaning, History

Among the leading architects and designers were Inigo Jones , Nicholas Hawksmoor , John Vanbrugh and of course Christopher Wren Painting Our coverage of fine art painting centres on the medium of oil painting, but we also answer questions about the earlier encaustic and tempera methods. Our section on colour in painting traces exactly how the main colour pigments evolved, and outlines the theory of colour , as well as the main colour palettes from Antiquity onwards.

We look at the history and development of oil paint as it expanded from damper areas of Northern Europe to Italy and Spain, and also examine methods such as buon fresco and mezzo-fresco murals, and linear perspective. Painterly methods like chiaroscuro , tenebrism , and impasto are also examined, as are automatic painting techniques like frottage and decalcomania. The Conspiracy of Gianluigi Fieschi.
