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.

Het poortgebouw, in 1671 gebouwd in rubensiaanse barokstijl is fraai versierd met twee geringde zuilen. Bovenaan in de nis staat een Mariabeeld, omringd met bloemenslingers, festoenen en engelenkopjes. Met een zinsnede uit het Hooglied uit het Oude Testament (4:12-13): Comt in mynen Hof, Myn suster Bruyt, aangebracht vlak boven de imposante boog, worden wij uitgenodigd om het Besloten Hof te betreden. In dit lied bezingt Salomon de bruid als een omsloten hof (Hortus Conclusus). De begijnen die zichzelf als de bruid van Christus zien, vinden hierin de geschikte metafoor voor hun geestelijk leven dat ook in een omsloten hof beleefd wordt. De hofjes zijn de concrete voorstelling van de verborgen paradijstuin waarin zij spiritueel in contact staan met God. Aan de binnenzijde van het poortgebouw staat in een nis het beeld van de H. Catharina van Alexandrië, patrones van het begijnhof. Het geheel straalt de triomf, gulheid en overdaad van de zegevierende kerk uit.

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.
