Rubens a Genova
, Electa, 2022 Paperback, 416 pages, ITA., 280 x 240 x 35 mm, in good condition, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9788892822795.
The volume is the catalogue of the homonymous exhibition held in Genova at Palazzo Ducale from 6 October 2022 to 22 January 2023, an extraordinary exhibition to tell the greatness of the most important Baroque painter ever: Peter Raul Rubens and his relationship with the city. The project was born on the occasion of the fourth centenary of the publishing in Antwerp of the Rubens? famous volume of Palazzi di Genova (1622). Rubens stayed on several occasions in Genova between 1600 and 1607 and thus had direct contacts relations ? in some cases very close ? with the city?s richest and most influential aristocrats. In exhibition and in the catalogue are presented more than 150 works, including more than twenty Rubens works, playing the role of protagonists, from European and Italian museums and collections (with some very significant ?re-entries?), which sum up to the ones present in the city, reaching a number such as there has not been since the end of the 18th century in Genova; since, that is, the crisis of the aristocracy with the repercussions of the French Revolution triggered an inexorable diaspora of masterpieces towards the collections of the world. From the Rubensian nucleus, the story of the cultural and artistic context of the city in the period of its utmost splendour is completed by paintings by artists whom Rubens certainly saw and studied (Tintoretto and Luca Cambiaso); whom he met in Italy and in particular in Genoa during his stay (Frans Pourbus the Younger, Sofonisba Anguissola and Bernardo Castello) or with whom he collaborated (Jan Wildens and Frans Snyders). Drawings, engravings, tapestries, furnishings, antique volumes, even clothes, feminine accessories and jewels allow to celebrate the grandeur of an artistic capital visited by one of the major artists of all times and confirm that appellation of Superb, given to Genoa. The catalogue is richly illustrated and gives account of the long path of studies and scientific insights by the curators and the thematic essays see contributions from a consistent number of international scholars. The exhibition guide and the guide to the Rubens? Genoa, a fascinating urban itinerary on the trail of Rubens? masterpieces, complete the proposal for the visitors and enthusiasts.

BLIND DATE, The Bold and The Beautiful in Flemish Portraits
, Hannibal / Kannibaal , 2020 Hardcover, 290 x 250 mm, 288 pages, English edition. ISBN 9789463887403.
Portraits from the late Middle Ages and the early modern period, what should we do with those long forgotten people from centuries ago? They stare at us, sometimes with a little monk, or ignore us completely. Without saying a word. Yet they have so much to tell us. About their fascinating lives, who they were or hoped to be. This book wants to offer the reader an appointment with history, or rather, a blind date with portrayed men and women from days gone by. Blind Date shows an exceptional sample of portraiture from the past. The Phoebus Foundation possesses a wealth of such portraits, so many and diverse that they could compile an exhibition and a book that illuminate the genre of portrait painting in all its facets, from selfie to group portrait.

One remarkable feature of European culture as it developed in the Renaissance was the accommodation it made with ancient paganism. The classical gods and their legends were allegorised, transformed into symbolic figures or emblematic scenes that might accord with Christian morality. At the same time a secular space was created in art for the depiction of the most popular myths, above all the love stories recounted by the ancient poets. These stories were not only attractive in themselves; they offered the opportunity to depict nude figures in narrative action, which the example of antiquity held forth as the highest goal for painting. Rubens was one of the greatest creators of classical allegory; he was also a supreme interpreter of the classical stories. No painter was so at home in the literature of the Greeks and Romans. When he painted for pleasure, which, increasingly in the course of his life, he felt able to do, he used pagan myth to express and celebrate themes of love, beauty and the creative forces of nature, often in wonderfully idiosyncratic ways. At the same time, as a Christian committed to the ideals of the Catholic Reformation, Rubens respected the restrictions generally placed on the depiction of pagan tales. Most of his mythological paintings were made for private settings, for display within houses (including his own) or in the galleries of princes, noblemen and prelates. It is happy accident of history that these splendid paintings are now widely visible in the great museums of the world.
