Synopsis Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age by : Marcel Wanders

"Er zijn maar liefst 35.000 exemplaren van 'Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age' verkocht. Wegens het grote succes van deze uitgave is het tijd voor een nieuwe druk, en wel de 5e druk! Aan de 4e druk werden de twee beroemde huwelijksportretten van Marten Soolmans en Oopjen Coppit (Rembrandt - 1634) toegevoegd. De 5e druk bevat opnieuw extra pagina's. Na een tournee door de 12 provincies van Nederland, zal het imposante portret 'De Vaandeldrager' (Rembrandt - c. 1636) vanaf 2023 permanent worden opgenomen in de Eregalerij van het Rijksmuseum. Uiteraard verdient ook dit meesterwerk het te worden opgenomen in 'Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age'. 'Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age' brengt ons oog in oog met de iconische schilderijen uit de prestigieuze Eregalerij van het Rijksmuseum. Met de prachtige details van de kunstwerken en de commentaren van hedendaagse kritische denkers zoals Erwin Olaf, David Allen, Angela Missoni en Jimmy Nelson, is dit boek een waar eerbetoon aan de 17e-eeuwse Nederlandse meesterstukken."-- Provided by publisher.

Synopsis Stories in Gilded Frames by : Lyckle de Vries

"Paintings from the Dutch Golden Age have been praised for many years, but it took a long time before such praise was extended to history paintings. Today, these paintings by Rembrandt, Goltzius, Lastman, Ter Brugghen and De Lairesse are truly considered part of the seventeenth-century canon. The works showing biblical and mythological images are regarded as highly as their contemporary still lives, landscapes and genre scenes. Stories in Gilded Frames is the first coherent overview of history paintings. History painters tell tales using paint and brush and this book highlights one hundred paintings by the most important representatives of the genre. The emphasis is placed on the way the painters bring their topics out into the open. The reader is invited to consider the choices the artists made"--Back cover.

Synopsis Drawn to Warmth by : Peter Schatborn

In the 16th and 17th centuries Italy acted like a magnet to artists from Northern Europe. They went to draw the classical monuments and the landscape, and to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the Renaissance. Back in the Low Countries, they used the impressions they had absorbed during their stay in the south in their paintings, drawings, and prints. Drawn to Warmth presents the first representative survey of drawings by these artists. An account of their travels and their adventures in Italy accompanies illustrations of many of the works they made there. There are examples by Paul Bril, Cornelis Poelenburch, Jan Aselijn, Jan Both, among others. Many of these drawings appear in print for the first time. The book also looks at a number of artists who did not themselves go to Italy, but who were inspired by their more widely traveled colleagues in the Netherlands.

Synopsis Still-life Paintings from the Netherlands, 1550-1720 by : Alan Chong

This stunning book presents the very best still lifes produced in the Netherlands at the height of the genre, from the early beginnings in the 16th century, with Pieter Aertsen and Joachim Beuckelaer, to the late highlights in the 18th century, with Rachel Ruysch and Jan van Huysum. Despite the popularity and abundance of flower paintings in modern collections, the book includes a wide range of subjects and styles, from the simple to the complex, the charmingly small to the opulent and extravagant, and from flowers to hunting still lifes or objects in the corner of a painter's studio, along with an occasional trompe l'oeil. The visual delights of still-life painting have a strong historical context. Collectors and connoisseurs purchased them because of their realism, visual appeal, and relevance to their own lives. Poets praised the wonders of still-life paintings and evoked the power of painting to transcend the seasons and the passing of time. Contemporary observers lauded the expensive and elaborate objects often on display. The book therefore considers the visual achievement of the Netherlandish still life painters in the context of contemporary reactions to pictures, art theory, and issues of patronage. Numerous artists were tempted to try their hand at still life, drawn by a new and enchanting genre that allowed an artist to create independent worlds of inanimate objects on the flat surface of a picture -- imaginary realms that had an exceptional following among connoisseurs of the time. These images continue to work their magic on present-day art lovers.
