‎JAN ROMBOUTS. THE DISCOVERY OF AN EARLY SIXTEENTH-CENTURY MASTER IN LOUVAIN,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2011 Bound, black cloth, illustrated paper dustjacket, 210 x 305mm., 312 p., 237 b/w ill. 48 colour illustrations. . ISBN 9782503525693.‎

‎This monograph introduces the sixteenth-century Louvain artist Jan Rombouts (c. 1480 - 1535), whose oeuvre was previously assigned to Jan van Rillaer. Debates concerning Rombouts's identity are explored in detail by means of reinterpretation of published archival documents and the discovery of numerous new documents. The publication of the sources, most with full transcriptions, provides a sound basis for the author's arguments supporting the new identification.The remaining oeuvre of the artist, as it is known today, comprises engravings and paintings. This monograph argues for the expansion of Rombouts's oeuvre with some dozen stained-glass windows, roundels and a drawn design for a church window, while suggestions are put forth for other possible attributions. Attention is given to the historical context for Rombouts's activity as a glass painter, and the attributions of these works, none of which are monogrammed, are made by comparing their style with that of works securely attributed to the artist. This section is backed up by numerous illustrations of the windows, many of which are quite inaccessible. Finally, a discussion of archival sources concerning the Louvain confraternity of St Luke and commissions for works of art to local artists in the period covered by the book, form the rich historical background against which Jan Rombouts executed his oeuvre of engravings, paintings, roundels and stained-glass windows. The size, individuality, diversity and craftsmanship of this oeuvre enable us to finally identify and place him securely within the history of south Netherlandish art of his time. New book. ‎

‎De Kunstreeks. Norman Bryson verkent een van de meest constante genres in de Westerse schilderkunst : het stilleven. HIj onderzoek de geschiedenis en de betekenis van dit genre van de Romeinse muurschilderingen tot Chardin en Cezanne. Als geen ander slaagt hij erin de grenzen van zijn vak te doorbreken met behulp van opvattingen uit de semiotiek, literatuurwetenschap en cultuurgeschiedenis. Door het stilleven in verband te brengen met denkbeelden over cultuur en natuur, overproduktie en ascese, vrouwelijke ruimte en mannelijke blik blaast hij het stof van deze traditionele categorie en brengt schilderijen die lang gezwegen hebben opnieuw tot spreken.‎

‎Zwolle/ Den Haag, Waanders/ Mauritshuis, 2010 Gebonden, geillustreerde kartonomslag in kleur, 210 x 275mm., 92pp., uitgebreide kleurillustratie. ISBN 9789040076794.‎

‎Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) is wereldberoemd vanwege zijn taferelen van het dagelijks leven, zoals een keukenmeid die melk inschenkt, een vrouw die muziekles krijgt, of een dame die een brief schrijft. Als beginnende schilder richtte Vermeer zich echter op traditionele onderwerpen, ontleend aan de Bijbel en de klassieke mythologie. De jonge, tot nu toe onderbelichte schilder Vermeer is het onderwerp van dit rijk geillustreerde boek en een tentoonstelling in het Mauritshuis. De tentoonstelling herenigt de drie meesterwerken uit het begin van Vermeers artistieke loopbaan: Diana en haar nymfen (c. 1653, Mauritshuis), Jezus in het huis van Martha en Maria (ca. 1655, Edinburgh) en De Koppelaarster (1656, Dresden). Deze drie schilderijen zijn recent gerestaureerd en voor het eerst samen in Nederland te zien. Ze tonen een kunstenaar op zoek naar zijn eigen stijl. Verscheen naar aanleiding van de gelijknamige presentatie in het Mauritshuis te Den Haag.‎

‎The works discussed span the entirety of Rubens?s career and attest to the complexity of the iconographic division in which the depictions of Jesus Christ?s public life were thought and created. The present volume V - 2 of the Corpus Rubenianum catalogues Rubens?s exploration and representation of the theme of the public life of Christ. The period in Christ?s life during which he spread his message by wandering and preaching with the apostles in the Holy Land, offered a particularly poignant and important part of religious discourse within the context of the Counter-Reformation period in the Netherlands. In order to rebut the Calvinists and their call for the stripping of imagery and lavish decoration from churches, and the destruction of furniture and altarpieces that followed, the Roman Catholic Church sought to establish an innovative and powerful visual rhetoric with renewed urgency. The scenes from the ministry of Christ could serve as potent reminders of the core values of Roman Catholic spirituality. Rubens, as a devout Catholic, created a number of impressive paintings to express this, although most of the works he produced seem to have been intended for the open market. The works discussed span the entirety of Rubens?s career and attest to the complexity of the iconographic division in which the depictions of Jesus Christ?s public life were thought and created.‎

‎edition of the collected works on the art of painting by the Scottish artist John Burnet (1784-1868), illustrated by himself. He dedicated the present work to Sir Thomas Lawrence, the President of the Royal Academy. It is divided into three parts: on composition, chiaroscuro (light and shadow), and colour. The text does not instruct the reader to paint but rather to understand painting, making this a manual for looking at paintings and an introduction to connoisseurship. Being able to converse about art had become an important part of social life for the upper class and this work would prove welcome for anybody who wished to be able to understand art better. It was a valuable work, in a luxurious binding and illustrated thoroughly, partly with coloured plates. Burnet was a respected artist who made all of the reproductions himself, for which he used a combination of etching, aquatint and hand-colouring. As examples Burnet used many famous paintings of Italian, Flemish and Dutch artists, such as Paulus Potter, Adriaan van Ostade, Claude, Rubens, Albert Cuyp, Ter Borch, Rembrandt, Pieter de Hooghe, Van Dyck, Gab. Metsu, Ger. Dou, Adr. van de Velde, David Teniers, Wouwermans, Hondecoeter, Frans Hals, Corregio, Raffael, Titian and Veronese. ‎
