‎Met bloeiende havens in Antwerpen, Brugge en Gent groeide Vlaanderen in de 17de eeuw uit tot een ware culturele hotspot en tot een belangrijke transitzone voor de import en export van decoratieve luxeartikelen. Fijn gedecoreerde pronkkisten en -kasten en andere kostbare kleinnoden in lakwerk werden eerst door de Portugezen en later door de V.O.C vanuit het Verre Oosten naar Antwerpen verscheept, toentertijd een van de belangrijkste stapelmarkten van Oostaziatische producten. Deze luxeartikelen met hun glanzende laklaag en decoratief inlegwerk spraken tot de verbeelding en al snel oversteeg de vraag het aanbod, wat de Europese ambachtslui stimuleerde om ook zelf met de techniek te experimenteren. Op deze manier ontstonden her en der, en niet in het minst in Vlaanderen, nieuwe laktradities in een herkenbare stijl en met eigen motieven. Dit boek situeert het Vlaamse lakmeubel - in de geschiedenis van de decoratieve kunsten lange tijd stiefmoederlijk behandeld - voor het eerst in haar historische context. Zijn jarenlange passie voor de lakkunst zette auteur Wilfried De Kesel aan tot het schrijven van dit waardevol cultuurhistorisch document over een bijna vergeten stukje Vlaams erfgoed. Seventeenth century Flanders was a cultural hotspot for both the fine and decorative arts. With well established ports in Bruges, Antwerp and Ghent, it became an important transit region, both for the export of local produce and the import of highly ornamental luxury products and valuables, such as lacquer boxes and ornamental lacquer cabinets imported from the Orient. These oriental high-gloss items, richly inlaid with wood and intricate mother of pearl motives, were built to stand the test of time. As the demand for these luxury items increased, Flemish craftsmen mastered the skills and techniques and created their own lacquer tradition. They didn't merely imitate Oriental lacquer decoration, but designed a peculiarly Flemish lacquer style that has long been overlooked in art history, outshined by the English and French lacquer art from the Chinoiserie era. Many years of interest in lacquer art encouraged author Wilfried De Kesel to investigate the subject. This is the first comprehensive book on 17th century Flemish lacquers and an in-depth study to help preserve the skill and the survival of this part of Flemish cultural heritage. ‎

‎Corporate Splendour. A Typological, Iconographic and Social Approach to Civic Group Portraits in Brabant 1585-1800 ‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2014 Hardback, approx. 450 p., 150 b/w ill., 190 x 250 mm Languages: English . ISBN 9782503550374.‎

‎Civic group portraits, depicting trades and guilds, militias, magistrates, governors of charitable institutions and confraternities, were in the old duchy of Brabant during the Ancien Regime much better represented than is generally thought. Some hundred paintings are revealed, especially in the cities of Antwerp, Brussels, Leuven and Mechelen. For the first time, the book zooms in on this important subgenre of Flemish portraiture. The paintings present a wide variety of compositional types and integrated iconographic elements. Monumental life-size portraits coexist with small scale representations. At the same time, there is a clear differentiation in typology according to the city where they were produced. Along with the formal analysis, attention is paid to the material-technical genesis of these compositions, combining in some cases visual observation with scientific imagery and archival evidence. Also the question why patrons would order a group portrait, and how to interpret such ?corporate splendour?, is dealt with, making use of the richly collected contemporary documents, which permit to contextualize the portraits and, in some cases, reconstruct their original habitat. They thus shed light on a number of factors that were involved in the realization of Brabantine civic group portraits: the type of patrons and their socio-economic and political position; the immediate cause for ordering a group portrait; the artists called upon; the prices and terms of payment; and the destination ? (semi)public / private, sacral / secular ? of the paintings‎

‎Michael Sweerts (1618-1664): Shaping the Artist and the Academy in Rome and Brussels ‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2015 Hardcover with dusjacket, 340 p., 58 b/w ill. + 42 colour ill., 216 x 280 mm, 2015 Languages: English. FINE CONDITION . ISBN 9782503555300.‎

‎This book examines the career of the Brussels artist Michael Sweerts through an examination of the artistic, intellectual and cultural contexts that shaped his work and academy in the Netherlands and Italy in the seventeenth century. The Flemish artist Michael Sweerts has long been considered one of the most fascinating and enigmatic painters of the seventeenth century. His peripatetic career, which stretched from his native Brussels to Rome, and later Amsterdam and the Far East, included work for the papal family and the foundation of a drawing academy in the Southern Netherlands. Despite this rich and varied career, Sweerts has yet to be fully examined within the artistic, intellectual and cultural contexts of Brussels and Rome in the seventeenth century. This book aims to retrace the artistic traditions that shaped Sweerts? development and evolution as a painter, etcher and teacher, firmly situating him at the crossroads of artistic exchange between the Netherlands and Italy. The author demonstrates how Sweerts responded to contemporary notions of artistic practice and pedagogy in his work, and how he played a critical role in the formation of a Netherlandish academic tradition. Approaching Sweerts from these new perspectives, this book examines the classicizing and artistic contexts of Brussels as a center of tapestry production, and reconstructs Sweerts? familial and social networks in the Netherlands and Rome. The artist emerges as a sophisticated figure amongst his contemporaries, including the French painter Nicholas Poussin (1594-1665), his patron, Camillo Pamphilj (1622-1666), nephew of Pope Innocent X, and the Flemish sculptor Francois Duquesnoy (1597-1643). Alongside a consideration of his sensitive scenes of peasants and artists in Rome?s urban landscape and strikingly life-like portraits and head studies, Sweerts? remarkable depictions of artists learning and practicing their profession are contextualized within the evolving conceptions of the academy in the early modern period. The author provides the first inclusive investigation of the artistic and socioeconomic frameworks that surrounded Sweerts? establishment of a drawing academy for artists and tapestry designers in Brussels in the 1650s. She brings to light the academy?s significance as a site of artistic learning and innovation, and the importance of working directly from life, while ultimately redefining Sweerts? place in the history of Flemish art. ‎
