Reproductie George 3e graaf Cowper - Anton Raphaël Mengs – Boeiende introductie Het doek "George 3e graaf Cowper" van Anton Raphaël Mengs is een iconisch werk dat de elegantie en verfijning van de achttiende eeuw belichaamt. Dit schilderij, dat een Britse edelman voorstelt, weerspiegelt een tijdperk waarin kunst en adel nauw verweven waren. Mengs, meester van het neoclassicisme, slaagde erin niet alleen de fysieke verschijning van zijn model vast te leggen, maar ook zijn essentie, karaktereigenschappen en sociale status. Bij het bekijken van dit werk wordt de toeschouwer meegenomen naar een wereld waar elk detail zorgvuldig is bedacht, elke kleur harmonieus is gekozen, waardoor een sfeer van intimiteit en grootsheid ontstaat. Stijl en uniekheid van het werk De stijl van Mengs onderscheidt zich door zijn oog voor detail en zijn vermogen om de klassieke strengheid te combineren met een bijna romantische gevoeligheid. In "George 3e graaf Cowper" zien we een palet van zachte kleuren en lichtspelingen die het gezicht van de graaf accentueren, terwijl ze de rijke texturen van zijn kleding benadrukken. De houding van het onderwerp, zowel majesteus als toegankelijk, getuigt van een uitzonderlijke beheersing van de compositie. Mengs gebruikt elementen uit de klassieke traditie, zoals de draperie en de houding, en geeft er een moderne toets aan die eigen is. Het werk onderscheidt zich niet alleen door zijn techniek, maar ook door de psychologische diepgang die het uitstraalt, waardoor de toeschouwer een connectie met het onderwerp kan voelen. De kunstenaar en zijn invloed Anton Raphaël Mengs wordt vaak beschouwd als een van de voorlopers van het neoclassicisme, een artistieke beweging die de geschiedenis van de Europese kunst diep heeft beïnvloed. Geboren in 1728 in Duitsland, wist Mengs zich te onderscheiden op het artistieke toneel dankzij zijn talent en zijn vermogen om traditie en innovatie te combineren. Geïnspireerd door de meesters van de Renaissance en de barok, wist Mengs deze stijlen te herinterpreteren om een nieuwe esthetiek te creëren die bij zijn tijd paste. Zijn impact op zijn tijdgenoten en toekomstige generaties is onmiskenbaar, zowel door zijn techniek als door zijn artistieke visie. Via werken zoals "George 3e graaf Cowper" heeft hij niet alleen het aristocratische portret herdefinieerd, maar ook de weg geopendShipping Notes

Great book, funny and enjoyable
Format: Hardcover
My 8 yo son asked us to purchase this book after Mr. Dan Santat visited his school. He loved this book, so much so that he has now read it 2 times. While he was reading, I would catch him giggling and smiling the whole time. He talks about Sashimi all the time and is looking forward to the next book.

Fun aquatic comic romp!
Format: Hardcover
Strange things are happening in Barnacle Bay! When Sashimi comes to shore, grabs a hoodie, and joins Miss Wilcox's classroom, the students ask a lot of questions, but don't get a lot of answers. Joey is assigned to show Shashimi around, but since he is new himself and a target of Billy's bullying, he's reluctant to be seen with a bug eyed student who sweats a lot. This, of course, is how Sashimi, who is really a fish boy, breathes. While he's living in the school and talking to Kevin, the class goldfish, he feels like he should investigate the Beast of Barnacle Bay, since there is a huge festival surrounding the creature. He has a bad experience at a grocery store with some high octane sugar soda and is kicked out after he goes nuts; Billy is there and takes him home to meet his grandfather. Poopdeck Pete is obsessed with the Beast, and gives tours of the bay. Sashimi tells Joey the truth after an incident where Sashimi tries to flush himself down the toilet: he is a fish boy and was chased ashore by Joey's grandfather, and has been living in the school. After meeting with Ben at the local history museum, Sashimi decides to enter the contest to catch the Beast, since there's a $10,000 prize. There is all kinds of drama in the community's participation in this, but in the end, Sashimi donates one of his own scales to the museum, and is rewarded with $500. He donates this money to the school, where budget cuts have been rife, and settles into life in Barnacle Bay. Poopdeck Pete's boat tours experience a resurgence with the interest in the creature, so Joey is happy as well. More adventures, perhaps ones including the very suspiciously damp Ben, are heading to shore.
Santat's illustrations are always a delight, and he brings Sashimi to life in an engaging way. There's even an informational diagram of how Sashimi breathes; of course, there are extra laughs since he is depicted in tighty whities! The use of the hood to hide his more defining aquatic features is inspired, since young readers these days live in hoodies, often (to my chagrin) with the hoods up. Santat must have a deep and abiding interest in the sea, since his 2022 Aquanaut also involves ocean life living on land. Sashimi is much happier and less traumatic than that graphic novel!
Sashimi gets himself involved in many ridiculous situations, which makes this a perfect book for older readers (who pretend to be too sophisticated for jokes about Poopdeck Pete) to read to younger ones. Sashimi gets revenge on Billy in a spitball fight, he has a massive sugar buzz and subsequent crash, and we get snarky but informative inserts about what a poop deck is named that and how Sashimi is able to live on land. The illustration style is colorful and unique, and will appeal to older readers who have been raised on Santat's picture books like Are We There Yet, Beekle, and After the Fall.
Dav Pilkey gets a shout-out in the dedication, which makes perfect sense, since readers of Captain Underpants and Dogman will be thrilled with Sashimi's odd adventures. Santat worked with Tom Angleberger on Princess Pit Stop, and must have absorbed some of Angleberger's Two-Headed Chicken Energy. I'm looking forward to the further adventures of this intrepid fish boy, and hope that he and Joey are able to calm Billy down quite a bit and can continue to support their struggling school.
The box that the publisher sent with the ARC was delightful, and contained a helpful water bottle (so Sashimi can keep breathing), a sticker, poster, and small container of "fish flakes" that I have on good authority actually contains Swedish fish candy!

Things I’d prefer my children not repeat.
Format: Hardcover
My kids found it entertaining, but as a parent I was not thrilled with all the “poop” and “fart” jokes, as well as characters belittling and calling each other “stupid” and “butthead.”

Funny and clever
Format: Hardcover
Sashimi, a fish boy, is trying to find someone just like him. Instead he finds unlikely friends. The book is very funny and clever with just the right sense of humor for kids 2-100.
I won my copy from a Goodreads giveaway. I will be sharing my copy with my grandchildren who will fall in love with Sashimi, too.
