176 pages. "When the representatives of six Canadian golf clubs met in Ottawa 100 years ago to discuss creating a national administrative body that would organize and run the country's national golf championship, none of them could have foreseen the tremendous impact the Royal Canadian Golf Association (RCGA) would have on golf in Canada... A book that captures the spirit of those early meetings and propels us through the rich history of golf in this country. Accompanied by compelling photographs from the RCGA archives, Gordon's book celebrates the accomplishments of Canadian golfers past and present as well as highlighting the extraordinary moments in Canadian golf from George Lyon's gold medal at the 1904 Olympics to Canada's stunning victory at the 1994 Dunhill Cup." - from dust jacket.

Hardback, 446 p., 102 b/w ill. 273 colour ill., 210 x 297 mm Languages: English. fine condition !!. Netherlandish Painting: Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (CENP 6) ISBN 9782503545752. Based on the works kept in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium, this catalogue and collection of essays tries to shed light on Bernard van Orley's painting. The years 1510 and 1520 appear to be a crucial moment for the introduction of the Renaissance in the former Netherlands. That period coincides with the first activity period of Bernard van Orley, a major witness of the transition. Until now, research has been concentrating on the artist through his superb tapestries. Yet, from the end of the first decade of the 16th century to 1521, when he signed the monumental Job and Lazarus Polyptych (Brussels, MRBAB/KMSKB, Inv. 1822), the artist produced paintings which integrated more and more shapes from the Italian peninsula. Did this change in perspective lead to significant differences in terms of workshop practices? How can works be best characterized when they make up the hard core of a catalogue with changing frontiers? In what way can archives shed new light on the artist's activity? Those questions are at the centre of a catalogue and essays, which aim to renew the vision of Bernard van Orley?s painting, on the basis of the works kept in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium.

This study establishes for the first time Adam Pynacker's place of origin, the formation and development of his style as well as his contribution to the field of Dutch Italianate landscape painting. Pynacker's early paintings, dating from around 1648, are shown to reinforce Houbraken's statement that he visited Italy during the second half of the 1640s. In an in depth study of the artist's output of the 1650s, it is also demonstrated that Pynacker was familiar with the work of his contemporary Dutch Italianates, among them Jan Both, Jan Asselyn and Nicolaes Berchem. His relation with them as well as with a number of other Dutch painters, including the Rotterdam artist Ludolf de Jongh, is explored throughout the book.

Hardback,398 pages., 228 b/w ill., 180 x 265 mm.onky volume two., fine condition. ISBN 0905203690. Elizabeth McGrath recreates the context in which Rubens, who was familiar enough with classical writings to interpret them with originally and wit, worked and casts new light on rarely discussed and misidentified subjects. For Ruben's age, as for the ancient Romans, history was valued for the lessons it taught. Rubens was deeply interested in history, particularly the works of the ancient writers like Ovid, Plutarch and Juvenal, which were full of exemplary figures. Yet unlike many Renaissance artists who merely sought texts they could illustrate, Rubens was familiar enough with classical writings to interpret them with originally and wit - always with an eye for the visually striking aspect. He was thus uniquely qualified to respond to the requirements of particular commissions with exemplary themes like The Continence of Scipio, The Justice of Cambyses, The Devotion of Artemisia and The Courage of Cloelia. Elizabeth McGrath recreates the context in which Rubens worked and casts new light on rarely discussed and misidentified subjects. Also included is a detailed analysis of the tapestry cartoons on the life of Romulus, now in the National Museum of Wales, relating the series to all relevant studies, paintings and tapestries. Languages: English.
Hardback, original editor's jacket, english, IV+178 pp., 42 b/w ill. + 95 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm. ISBN 9781905375158. Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History (HMSAH 49). Hugo van der Goes is a towering figure in the history of art. Hugely original, he exerted a massive influence, pushing the portrayal of volume, motion and light to its limits while exploring an inherited Christian iconography in profoundly new ways. This book identifies the artist?s painterly procedures as well as the religious practices and hopes his painting served. Focusing on Hugo?s masterpiece, the Portinari Altarpiece, Koster pictures the painter, his patron, and the wider public as a set of diverse forces fuelling this artist?s achievements. Painted in the Netherlands for a Florentine chapel, the altarpiece also reflects artistic exchange in the Fifteenth Century. Koster presents a ground-breaking technical examination of Hugo?s triptych and for the first time, readers can access all of the evidence in a high-resolution and easily-navigable form ? and for a work of supreme historical importance. But this book also studies the work?s origins in the Modern Devotion movement, Hugo?s personality, the machinations of a wealthy Italian donor, and the patterns of response within a church setting. Rich in information, wide-ranging in its sources, and original in its understanding of Hugo?s aims, this book also places ? uniquely ? the tools of its analysis in the hands of specialists and general readers alike.
