The Death Of General Warren At The Battle Of Bunker's Hill, 17 June 1775, Art Poster by Trumbull Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)John Trumbull (1756-1843) made it his mission to commemorate the great events of the American Revolution.Starting in 1785 he began a project of thirteen canvases depicting scenes from the American Revolution.He only finished eight, of which the most famous is certainly "The Declaration of Independence, 4 July, 1776."But most of the rest of them are recognizable to students of American history, which would certainly be the case with "The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker's Hill, 17 June, 1775."

Dr. Joseph Warren was the family doctor for John and Abigail Adams, and when the Stamp Act was passed by the British Parliament in 1765 he published several articles in Boston papers opposing the legislation.As a result he became close friends with Samuel Adams.Warren continued to publish articles attacking Britain's policies, protecting his family by signing them "A True Patriot."But his identity was soon well known regardless and Loyalists in Boston called him "the crazy doctor."Before the Battle of Bunker Hill, Warren was best known as the man who signaled Paul Revere from the Old North Church for his famous midnight ride.In the spring of 1775 he was named second Major General of the Massachusetts militia, despite his complete lack of military experience (he tended to the wounded on the road back from Lexington).When General Artemus Ward ordered William Prescott to fortify Bunker Hill, Warren joined the troops although Prescott wanted him to stay out of the action.His arrival heartened the troops and he was one of the last to retreat when he was shot and killed.His death was arguably the most significant of the Revolution for the American side as Warren would have been considered one of the major Founding Fathers had he survived.

Trumbull had joined the Connecticut First Regiment in the spring of 1775 and his talent for drawing was used to produce accurate maps of enemy positions and he became an aide-de-camp to George Washington.It is believed that Trumbull observed the British attacks on the colonial fortifications on Breed's Hill in Charlestown.In addition to sketches made on the battlefield at a later day, Trumbull had collected facts from various sources and persons who had fought in the battle.It is believed that Trumbull probably copies the portrait of Copley for his likeness of General Warren, while that of Major John Pitcairn was based on his son, Dr. Pitcairn of London, and Lieutenant William Pitcairn was probably based on his brother Thomas.The portraits of the British officers (Howe, Clinton, and Small) were painted in London between 1784-1786 either from life of from existing portraits.

Trumbull's painting represents the pivotal moment when the Americans had run out of ammunition and the third assault by the British troops forced the colonials to retreat.During those final moments General Warren was killed by a musket ball through the back of his head.As Warren expires, being held by an American soldier, a British grenadier tries to run him through with a bayonet.Standing above Warren holding a muskett is Major Knowlton; on the left is Israel Putnam waving his sword, with William Prescott sitting below him.Colonel Small is shown seizing the musket of the grenadier and behind him is the mortally wounded Major Pitcairn of the British marines, falling into the arms of his son. At the feet of Colonel Small is the dead body of Colonel Abercrombie.Behind the principal group are see Generals Howe and Clinton, the British commanders.The figure with the fancy hat in the bottom right is Lt. Grosvenor, with Peter Salem behind him.

The painting was done in the studio of Benjamin West in London (and it clearly owes a debt to West's own "Death of Wolfe at Quebec") and completed by March of 1786.The painting now hangs in the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, as a result of an indenture Trumbull signed in 1831 to sell 28 eight of his paintings and sixty miniature portraits to the university.IN return Trumbull, then 75 years old, received an annuity of $1,000 for the rest of his life.Yale also constructed a fireproof building, designed by Trumbull, to house his paintings on campus.The original oil on canvas painting measures 19 3/4 x 29 3/4 inches, which makes this 8 x 12 inch reproduction on a 11 x 14 art poster, slightly smaller than half size.

Miranda and the Tempest 20x30 poster Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a fine print of a great piece of art (referring to Amazon/Shopzeus version).You don't need to know the story of the Tempest to see what is going on in this 1916 John William Waterhouse.Miranda sits on the shore watching the wrecking of a large ship in a tempest with surrender and complacence for it's fate while she herself seems oblivious to what the tempest might do to her.The painting is composed in such a way that, from a distance, it actually looks like a peaceful ocean scene.

As for this particular print, the colors seem to be about right and the paper used is 20 lb+ glossy photo.There may be some slight cropping, I don't have a reference to confirm that.The print is either based on the original or a very fine reproduction.The size is a "poster size", so you might find that obtaining a frame is a bit difficult (they do exist or you can have one made).Though it is a print of an oil on canvas painting, because of the glossiness of the print, it looks best in a somewhat modern frame under glass (a matted frame (I can never remember the proper term)also improves the look greatly).It can also be at home in an apartment or dorm treated just like a poster and pinned to the wall.

The price on this print is spot on.A person printing one for themselves will spend just as much on the paper (not to mention the ink, use of a wide format printer, and obtaining a high resolution image).

It's a great conversation piece and, if you haven't already done so, an inspiration to delve into Shakespeare's story

Incidentally:
Miranda and the Tempest (AKA, "Miranda, the Tempest") is a 1916 painting by John William Waterhouse (I guess I said that already).It appears to be a revisit to a previous J.W. Waterhouse from 1875 called simply "Miranda", but with a more detailed and darker theme.The original of this painting sits in a private collection as of this writing.

Oil on canvas reproductions of Miranda and the Tempest can fetch as high as 5000 USD.Reproductions in the approximate size of the offered product above go for anywhere from 400 to 125 USD.

(Don't confuse a reproduction with a print).

It's actually hard to review products like this because of personal tastes - so I hope this was helpful.

Tom Lynch Porcelain Watercolor Palette Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before using this palette I used a porcelain platter divided with caulk.It was effective, but now that I have used the Tom Lynch palette, I realize what I was missing!The palette is large and very heavy, meaning that it will not move around at all, no matter how hard I jab my brush at it.The surface is smooth, the paint will not bead, but spread smoothly, and it wipes perfectly clean with just a tissue.It also comes with a plastic cover and a strip of sticky foam to place around the lip of the lid so that it fits snugly onto the palette.I keep a wet sponge in my palette when I am not painting, and my paints stay moist.I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it for a watercolorist looking for a great studio palette.This will last longer than your lifetime.

Kids Wall Stencil Kit - Forest Friends Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the jungle version of this kit.First, let me say that the video they produced to guide you says you can do all this in a weekend.NOT!Especially if you have anything else to do like laundry, eat a meal or watch a toddler.The instructions are GREAT - but three weekends later I am still not finished.

Also of note - if you have 'orange peel' walls, the stencils really don't stick very well which makes the painting process take way more time that if you had a flat surface to stick to. It also means that the edges of your characters will not be nice and smooth...because your wall is not nice and smooth.This means you have to do a lot of touch up painting when you finish with all the stenciling.

Although it seems like a deal that they supply the brushes when you purchase directly from their site, the sponges just don't work as well as real bristle brushes and again - it takes you a while to figure that out so that increase the amount of time it takes to do the painting.

Overall, I LOVE how may son's new paint job looks - he even helped on a couple of pieces of it and he is 6.However, don't think it will be done in one weekend.We had to take everything out of his room and it has been sitting in my office now for almost a month.Inconvenient to say the least.

I did however, rate this at 4 stars as these are all minor compared to the cool room my son now has!Just be forewarned to schedule a good deal of time to make it happen.

Boy on Mt. Fuji Art Poster Print by Katsushika Hokusai, 15x11 Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), the Japanese painter and wood engraver born in Edo (now Tokyo), is considered one of the outstanding figures of the Ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world" ("everyday life"), school of printmaking. After learning the new and popular art of woodcut printmaking, Hokusai produced maybe 30,000 color prints and book illustrations during his life, most of which represented the lives, traditions, and legends of the Japanese people.Hokusai has always been more admired in the West than he is in Japan. His prints were among those imported to Paris in the mid-19th century where they had a big impact on Impressionist artist including Claude Monet and Edgar Degas.His most recognizable work is "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa," also known as "In the Hollow of a Wave Off the Coast of Kanagawa" but commonly known in the West as "The Wave." The color woodcut is the first in the series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" that Hokusai worked on between 1823 and 1827 during his Iitsu Period, with ten supplementary prints added over the next.

What we have here is not one of those woodcuts, but a painting, more commonly known as "Boy Viewing Mount Fuji," which makes more sense since he is sitting on a tree and is not on the mountain itself, is one of his most serene and atmospheric landscapes.The young peasant boy sits in a tree, playing a flute as if to serenade the mountain.The use of muted shades of green and gray add to the painting's charm, but it is the striking use of angles: the way the first part of the tree trunk parallels the left slope of the mounting while Fuji's right slope is matched by the rolling water.The black cloud behind the mountain is countered by the haze that obscures it lower regions, adding another dimension to the painting.The sheer simplicity of the design and the execution make this a compelling work of art.

Hokusai's wood-block prints, silk screens, and landscape paintings showed an evolution of free curved lines that defined his style evolved into a series of spirals that achieved a even greater sense of simplicity. The original painting of "Boy Viewing Mount Fuji" was personally purchased by Freer Gallery of Art founder Charles Lang Freer in 1898, and is currently part of a stunning Hokusai exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution's Arthur M. Sackler Gallery (March 4-May 14, 2006).The original hanging scroll of this ink and color on silk painting measures 14 1/4 x 20 1/5 inches.That marks the reproduction on this 10.5 x 14.5 inch fine art print about two-thirds the size of the original.

Victorian Alison Jr. Dollhouse Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a "plum pudding" model of this brand. I did mine at Think Small by Rosebud, 3209 N Clark st, Chicago 773-477-1920. There's no online store and it's not the easiest to find online, either. I reprint this info for you b/c I've read the instructions for these, and am more than grateful to have infinite help in the last Chicago dollhouse store and workshop.

This is my second house, and it's 20 times better with working dorbell, inside and outside lights, genuine cherry and mohogany flooring, working neon bar signs. Eventually, I'll have a working TV set. I spend a lot of time there, and these are the nicest people who bend over backwards to help. It's a great social opportunity to hang out with neighbors or your kids. I've met a lot of nice people over there.

These are very tough and strong 3/8 plywood and MDF houses, and while they cost more than say the lower-quality Greenleaf stuff, you also get much better materials. Think Small only sells this brand, as after 200 houses, you learn that thinner materials split if you drill holes for wiring. Their prices are more than fair at online prices, but without shipping. When I bought mine, I looked for three days at various sites, and never did find better prices for anything cheaper than Think Small offered.

I build my house there, and they help with tools and experienced knowledge, make cuts for extra windows and doors for me (no charge), and can easily match furniture,flooring and wallpaper stuff to it, as the house is right downstairs. I can also use their paint, primer, shellac, varnishes, cutters, knives, brushes, and cleaners for no extra cost than the monthly rent of 45 bucks a month. If you've been to the store, you know all this stuff is not cheap and it quickly adds up. I have a bright pink and purple house stored there, and will be glad to meet you when you come by.

Elephants On The Wall D I Y Paint a Mural, Large Jungle Story Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great tool for even the least creative amoung us. The mural comes in four panels, and its basically really large sheets of paper with the mural printed on it and tracing paper. The rest is just paint by number.

A couple of things could be improved. The colors are only for Americana paints, which we found sort of hard to match all of them in the craft store. It would be really helpful to give conversions for other companies so you don't have to guess (you can search for these online).

I also wish the numbers for the paint by numbers would come on something other than the mural pieces. Like on a large sheet of paper so you don't have to keep referencing the large mural panels.

Other than that, its a great product!

Backpack for Full French Box Easels Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for the Jack Richeson Academy Weston Full French Easel. While it does fit, it's a very tight squeeze to zip it all in properly at the top - the legs of the easel just seem a tad long for this particular bag. Some of the sewing/zipper/seam construction internally appears cheap. That said, it will be serviceable, the pockets will be handy. I primary bought it to take it through security at the airport or it I take the train to a nearby park to draw, I think it will come in handy.

Cotman Watercolor Field Set Plus by Winsor & Newton Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since I like to collect art supplies, I picked up this set shortly after it was released.If waterbrushes were not becoming so readily available, this set would be a convenient portable sketching kit.In reality, it is rather bulky for sketching on-the-go.It does have a generous amount of mixing palettes space and its 4-half-pan holding brackets are practical for quickly customizing the color choices in the set.The water bottle and holding caps are not so useful, but add some small convenience for those that like to carry this kit in an art bag around as a source of water for refilling waterbrushes and holding small watercolor washes.I have removed the original Cotman pans and replaced them with artist grade watercolors for increased performance.I would avoid this set at MSRP, but it's worth a look once it gets discounted if you like to have several options of watercolor boxes available.

V-J Day at Times Square, New York City, 1945, Art Poster by Alfred Eisenstaedt Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"In Times Square on V.J. Day, I saw a sailor running along the street grabbing every girl in sight. I was running ahead of him with my Leica looking back over my shoulder. Then suddenly, in a flash, I saw something white being grabbed. I turned around and clicked the moment the sailor kissed the nurse....I took exactly four pictures. It was done within a few seconds."

The photograph that "Life" printed that Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898-1995) took in Times Square, New York City, on August 14, 1945 of "the kiss heard around the world" is one of the famous photographs in American history.Considered the father of photojournalism, Eisenstaedt first began creating photo essays in Berlin during the 1920s and early 1930s. When he emigrated to the United States in 1935 he joined the original photography staff at "Life" magazine and a decade later he took the photograph that appears on this 22 x 28 art poster that has come to symbolized the joy of peace being declared ever since it first appeared in "Life."

According to a follow up article "Life" did in 1980 the sailor in the famous photograph was Bill Swicegood or George Mendonsa or Clarence "Bud" Harding or Jack Russell or Marvin Kingsbury or James Kearney or Walker Irving or Donald Bonsack or John Edmonson or Arthur Leask orWallace C. Fowler (who confessed to his wife).Each points to a different part of the sailor as proof (a hairline, a mole, the positioning of the left hand, a newly acquired Quartermaster 1st Class rating patch, or a bare patch).At that point only three women claimed to be the girl being kissed, Edith Shain, Greta Friedman, and Barbara Sokol. Apparently there was a lot of kissing going on in Times Square on V-J Day, and the fact that you cannot really see the faces of the sailor and the nurse actually creates a universality to the kissing figures that makes the photograph so compelling.

In 1989 "Time" did a special issue on "150 Years of Photo Journalism" and named Eisenstaedt's photograph one of the ten greatest images in the history of photojournalism.For the record, the others were: The flag raising at Iwo Jima by Joe Rosenthal, Alexander Gardner's posed photograph of a dead Confederate sharpshooter at the Devil's Den at Gettysburg, the "Hindenburg" disaster captured by Sam Shere, Dorothea Lange's haunting photograph of a migrant mother, the death of a loyalist solider captured by Robert Capa during the Spanish Civil War, Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald taken by Robert Jackson, the execution of a Viet Cong officer by a South Vietnamese police chief caught by Eddie Adams, Neil Armstrong's shot of Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the moon, and W. Eugene Smith's photograph of a mother bathing her son whose body has been deformed by mercury poisoning in the Japanese fishing village of Minimata.

Product Description:
The most eagerly awaited event in the editorial cycle at TIME Magazine is always the selection of the cover. The best covers capture the zeitgeist of the week while surviving the judgment of history. As browsing this collection of TIME cover art prints shows, TIME is as good a record as any of who and what mattered over the past 80-plus years. And so when TIME captures a person, an event or a trend within its iconic red borders, the magazine is adding that extra dose of significance that no other publication can quite match.That is one reason why the original artwork for more than 800 TIME covers now resides in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington. Thanks to an amazing roster of artists, photographers and graphic designers, from TIME's earliest charcoal drawings of cover subjects to its later black-and-white photography to the more recent paintings and stunning color photography, TIME covers have always been, sometimes quite literally, works of great art. And, while the times may change, the TIME cover, with its iconic red border, has never lost its power to immediately send the signal that this person or event or idea is important to our lives, that in some way history is being made before our eyes.
