Record Type: concept
kit-cat (figures (representations), <visual works by subject type>, ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to a portrait, generally painted, a print, or other two-dimensional media, of a particular size. It is typically around 36 x 28 inches in size and of a distinctive format that is less than half-length, but includes one or both hands. The name derives from the series of members' portraits painted by Godfrey Kneller ca. 1700-1720 for the dining room of the literary Kit-Cat club in London, where the ceiling was too low to allow half-size portraits and Kneller used this unusual format instead.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 指稱肖像畫,通常為繪畫、版畫或是其他平面媒材。其尺寸一般約36乘以28英吋,其格式相當獨特,較半身像的範圍還小卻常將人像的一隻或兩隻手入畫。此一名稱源於高弗瑞‧科涅爾勒(Godfrey Kneller)於西元1700至1720年間,為了裝飾倫敦「奇卡文藝俱樂部」的餐廳所繪製的一系列會員肖像畫,因餐廳的天花板過低,無法懸掛半身肖像畫,因此科涅爾勒便使用這種不尋常的形式取而代之。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een portret van een bepaalde omvang, meestal geschilderd, een afdruk of een ander tweedimensionaal medium. Het is meestal ongeveer 90 x 70 centimeter groot en heeft een opvallende compositie: niet helemaal tot aan de knieën, maar wel met een of beide handen. De Engelse term is afgeleid van de serie portretten die Godfrey Kneller rond 1700-1720 maakte voor de eetzaal van de literaire club Kit-Cat in Londen, waar het plafond te laag was voor portretten tot aan de knieën. Daarom koos Kneller voor dit ongebruikelijke formaat. 
Spanish ..... Se refiere a retrato, generalmente pintado, grabado u otro medio bidimensional, de un tamaño específico. Típicamente mide alrededor de 36 x 28 pulgadas en tamaño y de un formato distintivo que es menos que la mitad del largo, pero incluye una o dos manos. El nombre deriva de las series de retratos de miembros pintados para el comedor del club literario Kit-Cat en Londres por Godfrey Kneller ca. 1700-1720, donde el cielo raso era demasiado bajo para permitir retratos de medio tamaño y Kneller usó este formato inusual.
