Dutch Landscapes of the Golden Age
UK, Royal Collection , 2010 Holland in the seventeenth century presented artists with the most man-made landscape in Europe, and one which still exerts a timeless fascination on our imaginations today. The human narrative within the painted landscape ranged from peasants working and relaxing in the tradition of Bruegel to an evocation of aristocratic estates. Meanwhile, other Dutch artists were discovering in Italy a range of different subjectmatter, from streetscapes to the Roman campagna. Finally there was the sea, which played a vital role in the Dutch mentality, and which was used to suggest the drama of the nations life and history. This book presents each of these types of landscape, exploring the way they relate to one another, how they stand apart, and how each enables us today to enter the Dutch Golden Age.

The Conversation Piece : Scenes of fashionable life
London, United Kingdom, Royal Collection Trust 2009, 2009 Softcover, 192 pages, English, 210 x 250 mm, 14 Illustrations, black and white; 157 Illustrations, color, book is in perfect order !. ISBN 9781905686070.
'The Conversation Piece' is an intriguing contradiction - the high-life group, but caught informally, off-guard. Popular in 17th-century Dutch painting, the genre was extended to include sporting events and 'Grand Tourists', and reached its apogee in the 18th-century in the masterpieces created by Johann Zoffany for his English patrons, including George III. This new publication, the first on this subject for over thirty years, presents early Dutch and French genre paintings against their successors in the informal portraiture of Stubbs and Hogarth, as well as iconic works by Zoffany. It provides a unique opportunity to connect the study of 'the conversation' in 18th-century English art to its 17th-century European predecessors.

THE BRITISH ROYAL COLLECTION. VAN BRUEGEL TOT RUBENS,
Brussel, Mercatorfonds / Koninklijke Musea voor Schone Kunsten, 2008 Gebonden, rood linnen onder geillustreerde stofomslag in kleur, 240 x 285mm., 224pp., 160 illustraties in kleur. ISBN 9789061538134.
Dat zo'n keur aan Vlaamse meesters in een collectie zit, is op zich al bijzonder. Dat die collectie op reis gaat, mag nog uitzonderlijker heten. De indrukwekkende Vlaamse afdeling van de Royal Collection verliet nog nooit eerder bijna in zijn geheel de Britse eilanden. De selectie van een vijftigtal schilderijen biedt een uitgelezen kans om het gezamenlijke topniveau van de kunstenaars van de lage landen in te schatten. De schilderijen werden tussen de 15de en de 17de eeuw gemaakt, in aanvankelijk voorspoedige maar, na de opstand tegen de Spanjaarden, ook woelige tijden. Tegen 1550 was Vlaanderen een van de rijkste streken ter wereld. Antwerpen zoog als het wereldcentrum van welvaart kunstenaars en verzamelaars, intellectuelen en burgers naar zich toe. De schilders haalden the rich and the famous voor hun ezel, en die betaalden graag voor de luisterrijke Vlaamse portretten vol realistische details. De meesters vonden de oude verhalen van bijbel en mythe telkens opnieuw uit, en de katholieke kerk zette de schilderijen graag in bij de contrareformatie. Ook in het landschapsgenre werden ze wereldvermaard. De Tachtigjarige Oorlog (1568-1648) maakte aan de voorspoed van deze streken een einde, maar de schilders weken uit en bleven meesterwerk na meesterwerk maken. Nieuw boek.
