Charles King (1844-1933) was an American soldier and a distinguished writer. Born in Albany, NY King was the son of Civil War general Rufus King, grandson of Columbia University president Charles King, and great grandson of Rufus King, who was one the signers of the United States Constitution. He graduated from West Point in 1866 and served in the Army during the Indian Wars under George Crook. He was wounded in the arm and head during the Battle of Sunset Pass forcing his retirement from the regular army as a captain in 1879. During this time he became acquainted with Buffalo Bill Cody. King would later write scripts for several of Cody's silent films. He also served in the Wisconsin National Guard from 1882 until 1897, becoming Adjutant General in 1895. Frederic Sackrider Remington (1861-1909) was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in depictions of the American Old West, specifically concentrating on scenes from the last quarter of the 19th century, and featuring images of cowboys, American Indians, and the U.S. Cavalry. Edwin Willard Deming (1860-1942) was a painter and a sculptor. His active career of painting and illustrating took him repeatedly to the lands of the Blackfoot, Crow, and Sioux, as well as to Arizona and New Mexico. After the turn of the century, Deming devoted more time to sculpture but also began work on a series of romantic murals of Indian life, which were subsequently installed in the American Museum of Natural History and the Museum of the American Indian in New York.

Willem Key (1516-1568). Portrait of a Humanist Painter .

Hardback with dusjacket., Languages: English, 345 pages., 50 b/w ill. 150 colour ill., 190 x 250 mm, fine condition . ISBN 9782503536781. Willem Key was one of the leading portrait and history painters in sixteenth-century Antwerp. He was born in Breda in 1516. Following in his older brother Wouter's footsteps, Willem went to Antwerp to become a painter. He studied under Pieter Coecke (1529) and later, like Frans Floris, apprenticed in the workshop of Lambert Lombard in Liege before becoming a free master in 1542. In 1568, just when he had reached the top of his abilities and enjoyed the patronage of outstanding individuals and institutions, Willem Key died suddenly. The artist?s biographer and painter Karel van Mander tells us that Key was blessed with ?Sulcke edele gheesten,? such a noble mind. And, he had a ?Docta manus,? a learned hand, as the Bruges humanist and painter Domenicus Lampsonius phrased this topos in 1572. This is the first monograph to place Willem Key and his oeuvre in a historical framework. It demonstrates why the nobility, including the Duke of Alba and Cardinal Granvelle, considered him the best portrait painter of his day and why leading humanists viewed his many history paintings as eloquent visualizations of contemporary art theory. The reason why Willem Key's peers regarded him as such an exceptional painter lay in his creative ability to do battle on an uneven playing field with the artists who had been to Italy. In his reconciliation of the Netherlandish tradition with the rapidly advancing Italian manner, Key grasped the spirit of the Renaissance as formulated by Alberti. The quintessence of Key's art inspired numerous artists in his own time and later, including the grandmaster of the Baroque, Pieter Paul Rubens. By shedding light on this amazing confrere of Pieter Bruegel, Pieter Aertsen, Anthonis Mor and Frans Floris and placing him in the highly complex and fascinating time he lived in, this monograph and catalogue raisonne of the art of Willem Key restores the artist to his rightful place in sixteenth-century Antwerp art.

subjects from history. III. The Constantine Series, Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard part XIII subjects from history. volume 3.

Hardback 400 pages ., 180 x 265 mm, Languages: English, ISBN 9781905375868. In 1622, Rubens designed his second tapestry series, The Story of Constantine, for which he executed twelve oil sketches, all of which are currently preserved in public and private collections in America and Europe. Tapestries produced after the lost cartoons, which were in turn painted after the oil sketches, were woven in the tapestry factories in the faubourgs of Saint Marcel and Saint Germain in Paris. Based on new archival research and a critical examination of the literature on the Constantine series, this book firmly embeds the genesis, and iconographical and stylistic features of the set in its specific artistic, manufactural, and commercial matrix, and thus develops the first truly inclusive approach to Rubens's Story of Constantine. Analysis of the entrepreneurial strategy of Marc Comans and Francois de la Planche, directors of the factory in the faubourg of Saint Marcel, the correspondence between Rubens and Peiresc, the provenance of the twelve oil sketches, and the iconographical programme reveals that the series was not commissioned by the French king Louis XIII, as has long been believed, but by Comans and de la Planche. A close reading of Rubens?s primary literary source, Caesar Baronius?s Annales Ecclesiastici, shows that the artist must have intended the twelve scenes to hang in a sequence different from the generally accepted one, though seventeenth-century buyers and viewers could have seen and interpreted the Constantine series quite differently, as their view was distorted by the jumble of Constantinian legends and motifs that had lodged in the cultural memory of Latin Christianity. Finally, the book explores the area of tension between the set?s austere monumentality and highly sophisticated aesthetic, which was rooted in Rubens?s profound knowledge of classical and Renaissance art and in his earlier forays into the free and creative application of these sources, contemporary French and Brussels tapestry sets, and the pictorial and decorative qualities, possibilities and challenges inherent in the medium itself

vitraux de la seconde moitie du XVIe siecle et de la premiere moitie du XVIIe siecle conserves en Belgique Provinces du Brabant wallon, du Hainaut, de Liege et de Namur corpus vitrearum tome VI

hardback, 792 p., 406 colour ill., 230 x 315 mm francais. ISBN 9782930054124. Ce sixieme volume de la serie des repertoires est consacre aux vitraux de la seconde moitie du XVIe siecle et de la premiere moitie du XVIIe siecle qui subsistent en Wallonie, dans les provinces du Brabant wallon, du Hainaut, de Liege et de Namur. L'auteur, Isabelle Lecocq, s'est attachee depuis plusieurs annees a l?etude de ces vitraux monumentaux qui ont trop peu retenu l'attention des chercheurs jusqu'a present. Ces ?uvres s?inscrivent en effet dans une periode particulierement sombre et troublee de l'histoire des anciens Pays-Bas meridionaux, qui commence avec le regne de Philippe II et qui coincide avec la ?« Guerre de Quatre-Vingts Ans ?» (1568-1648). Elles meritent neanmoins une attention particuliere car elles sont l?expression concrete de la mutation generalisee qui se produisit dans l?art entre la Renaissance et le Baroque. L?auteur a realise sur place un examen minutieux et une abondante documentation photographique. L?ouvrage presente pour chaque verriere une etude systematique d?authenticite completee par une recherche approfondie des archives ainsi que par toutes les autres demarches de l?histoire de l?art. Elle a pu confirmer de maniere etayee l?evidence d?une continuite de la production de vitraux dans l?espace wallon, malgre la situation tourmentee de l?epoque. Toutes les ?uvres sont replacees dans leurs contextes artistique, technique, politique, etc., ce qui eclaire aussi l?evolution de leurs concepteurs, de leurs realisateurs et de leurs commanditaires. Le volume a ete publie avec le concours de l?Institut royal du Patrimoine artistique et le soutien du Fonds Courtin-Bouche gere par la Fondation Roi Baudouin.
