Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Op de plaats van het kasteel van Arenberg stond sinds de 12de eeuw de burcht van de Heer van Heverlee. In de loop van de volgende eeuwen verarmde deze familie, zodat in 1445 de toenmalige heer verplicht was de heerlijkheid te verkopen.

Op die manier kwam het domein in handen van de Picardische familie van Croÿ. Onder Willem II van Croÿ werd de middeleeuwse burcht geleidelijk vervangen door het huidige kasteel. Deze Willem van Croÿ stichtte ook het Celestijnenklooster op het domein van het kasteel (de huidige bibliotheek van de campus).

Nadat de laatste hertog Karel III van Croÿ in 1612 kinderloos overleed, kwam het kasteel, via het huwelijk van zijn zus, in handen van de hertogen van Arenberg. Deze Duitse familie bewoonde het kasteel tot aan de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Veel van de hertogen waren geboeid door de wetenschap en onderhielden nauwe contacten met de universiteit.

Alle etsen zijn voorzien van een certificaat van echtheid, hebben een droogstempel en zijn ingelijst.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.
