Indeed, Haydn's accomplishment was the establishment of these genres in the modern sense." Even in his own lifetime, this perspective was prevalent. In 1797, the Tonkünstler-Societät of Vienna passed the resolution to make him a life member, "by virtue of his extraordinary merit as the father and reformer of the noble art of music.

Together with Henry Van de Velde, Georges Lemmen, Xavier Mellery, Willy Schlobach and Alfred William Finch and Anna Boch he "imported" this style to Belgium. Seurat was invited to the next salon of Les XX in Brussels in 1887. But there his La Grande Jatte was heavily criticized by the art critics as "incomprehensible gibberish applied to the noble art of painting".

Empty books or blank books are novelty books whose title indicates that they treat some serious subject, but whose pages have been left intentionally blank. A number of such titles have been published as attempts at satire or polemic, to some commercial success. The joke is that "nothing" is the answer to whatever the title of the book asserts. In 2017, The Guardian commented that the trend of publishing political empty books had led to "the noble art of political parody [descending] into a one-joke turn that avoids words".

Literary characteristics of the movement include: fragmentation, interdisciplinarity, emphasis on the over-saturation of pop culture amongst the Spanish youth at the beginning of the 21st century, and the constrasting of so-called 'high culture' with that pop culture. It is referred to as "zapping literature", populated by a large number of characters who come and go without understanding why or the outcomes. Collage, appropriation of texts in the name of the "noble art of recycling", and stories with open structures that begin without knowing when to end, are all also common. Many of the writers create hybrid literary genres and publish literature online through blogs.

Carter of Castle Martin: a talbot standing on a mural crown. 1891 artist's impression The breed is said to have originated in Normandy, perhaps to have been the white St. Hubert Hound, and to have been brought to England by William the Conqueror, but this is not supported by evidence. There are no known references to the talbot as a breed of hound in Medieval French, and none have been found in English before the mid-16th century. In Medieval times, "Talbot" was a common name for an individual hound, as used before 1400 in Chaucer's The Nun's Priest's Tale (line 3383), and is used as an example of a hound name in George Turberville's 1575 work The Noble Art of Venerie or Huntyng.

Tim comments how Britain had colonized far away places to keep alive the noble art of playing cricket, and he and Bill argue about keeping politics out of sport. The Minister of Sport asks the Goodies for help, informing them that all other member countries have left the Commonwealth, apart from the tiny August Bank Holiday Islands (where the next Commonwealth Games are to be held). "August Bank Holiday Islands - where's that?" asked Graeme, to which the Minister for Sport replied: "Between Easter Island and Christmas Island." The Goodies are asked to train the British Commonwealth athletic team to top fitness, but the potential members of the team are all former Members of Parliament, and not athletes — they are also very old and fail the test, and the Goodies have to take their places in the team.

Innes designed a plaque for the Ancient Order of Froth Blowers, a charity "to foster the noble Art and gentle and healthy Pastime of froth blowing amongst Gentlemen of-leisure and ex-Soldiers", which was created by Albert Temple in gratitude to Alfred Downing Fripp whose surgical skills saved his life. The charity was at its most popular in the 1920s, with most of the funds raised donated to the Invalid Children's Aid Association. The plaque designed by Innes Fripp was created to accompany donations of £500 (about £20,000 in today's money) to fund the costs of 50 children's hospital beds. Most of his best-known works are of fantasy or religious themes, including "The Centaur at Play", "Madonna and Child", and his series of illustrations for "The Gateway to Romance" by Emily Underdown, for which Innes Fripp did the illustrations in 1909 for publisher Thomas Nelson And Sons, and Lancelot and Guenevere by Gladys Davidson, illustrated by Fripp, published in 1912 by Dana Estes and Co. He married Winifred Mary Pottow on 1 August 1899 in Bristol, Gloucester.
