What is Quality in Art? A Meditation Based on European Paintings from the 15th to the 18th Centuries"
, Hannibal Books, 2024 Hardcover, 127 pages, ENG. edition, 220 x 145 mm, NEW, illustr. in color / b/w, Quadrichromie. ISBN 9789464941197.
In-depth art-historical reflection on value judgments in art by one of Europe?s leading curators "This is a necessary book. The concept of quality is key in the history of art, and often little understood." ? Miguel Falomir, Director, Museo del Prado "That this is a legitimate question, even a necessary one, is argued by Vergara in a pleasurable manner, with the pace and attitude of a peripatetic thinker. There is something here that reminds one of Montaigne or Stendhal." ? Antonio Mu oz Molina, El Pa s "This wonderful and wise book made me look at the artwork without intimidation or any confusion. It is a great pleasure to be guided by the experienced eye of Alejandro Vergara." ? Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Throughout history, human beings have excelled at creating art of the highest quality. Aristotle wrote that Homer ?surpassed all others? while Pliny the Elder referred to ?masterpieces that we never tire of admiring?. Vel zquez distinguished between portraits ?made with art? and those that were not. What did they all mean exactly? And what do we mean when we say that a work of art is good, of high quality? This book is an attempt to explain this central question, which remains surprisingly unexplored. Alejandro Vergara-Sharp argues that ?a deep knowledge of the history of art provides us with the tools to approach this issue objectively?. He then invites the reader to share with him a Socratic voyage of discovery, gradually unveiling arguments that can assist us in understanding this elusive and crucial concept. Alejandro Vergara-Sharp (b. 1960, Washington DC) is Senior Curator of Flemish and Northern European Paintings at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid.

, Museo Nacional del Prado, 2007, 2007 Paperback, 55 paginas, Spanish text, Illustraciones,.240 X 190 X 10 mm ISBN 9788484801214.
Joachim Patinir, que trabaj en Amberes entre 1515 y 1524, fue el primer artista europeo especializado en pintar paisajes. Sus sorprendentes cuadros reflejan la curiosidad por el mundo natural que era caracter stica del Renacimiento, y al mismo tiempo evocan la idea de un universo trascendente. Este documental aborda el enigma de un pintor cuya biograf a apenas se conoce, y que revolucion el mercado del arte e incluso el concepto mismo de la pintura en los albores del siglo XVI. Como conservador del Museo del Prado, Alejandro Vergara ha sido responsable de una gran exposici n retrospectiva de su obra (3 de julio - 7 de octubre de 2007) que le ha llevado a buscar sus pinturas por diversos museos del mundo. A trav s de sus viajes y de diversos encuentros con expertos, Vergara investiga las claves de la pintura de Patinir. El an lisis y la reflexi n que se ofrecen al espectador le gu an en el conocimiento de una bell sima y casi desconocida producci n.
Illuminating Women Artists- Clara Peeters
, Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd, 2025 Hardcover, 128 pages, Illustrated. Text English, 25x20cm *New. ISBN 9781848225718.
Clara Peeters was one of the most talented and creative among the early practitioners of still-life painting in Europe. This timely book sheds light on the limitations she encountered because of her gender and how she responded to them in her art, while also assessing her importance as a painter. This book serves to establish Clara Peeters, one of the most talented and creative among the early practitioners of still-life painting in Europe in the early 17th century, as a leader in her field. The book not only discusses the artist?s biography but also examines the historical and cultural context of Peeters? art, her artistry and the material culture reflected in her paintings. Part of the first generation of European artists to specialise in still-life painting, Peeters was in fact the only Flemish woman known to have focussed on this genre of painting in the early 17th century. She was also one of the few women to dedicate her professional life to painting in early modern Europe. This timely book sheds light on the limitations that Clara Peeters encountered because of her gender and how she responded to them in her art, while also assessing her importance as a painter of still-life.
Rubens Schilder van schetsen.
, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen., Softcover, PB, 300 x 240 mm, 245 p, NL edition. nieuw, illustraties in kleur en z/w ISBN 9789069183046.
Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) is de belangrijkste schilder van olieverfschetsen in de Europese kunstgeschiedenis. Terwijl zijn voorgangers in Italie en Vlaanderen hun schilderijen voorbereidden met tekeningen in pen of krijt op papier, gebruikte hij hiervoor vrijwel altijd olieverf op paneel. Rubens' olieverfschetsen betekenden een nieuwe manier van schilderen. De traditioneel gescheiden stadia van het ontwerp en de invulling met kleur bracht hij samen in een voorbereidend werk. Deze snel opgezette, relatief kleine schetsen zijn veel minder ver uitgewerkt dan de erop gebaseerde grote schilderijen. De olieverfschetsen van Rubens nodigen uit om je onder te dompelen in zijn kunst. Het zijn krachtige verbeeldingen met een enorme varieteit aan thema's, van de klassieke geschiedenis en mythologie tot religieuze onderwerpen, stillevens en portretten. Uit de virtuoze losse penseeltoets spreekt zowel toewijding als levenslust. Hun kleine formaat en ogenschijnlijk onvoltooide staat verleiden je om ze van dichtbij te bestuderen. Van deze schetsen kun je zowel genieten als leren. Tweeentachtig van Rubens' mooiste olieverfschetsen worden in deze schitterend geillustreerde catalogus uitvoerig behandeld. Twee inleidende essays plaatsen de werken in hun historische context.
