Bruegel and Beyond Netherlandish Drawings in the Royal Library of Belgium, 1500-1800.

Hardcover, 305 x 240 mm, 392 pages, Fine!, ENG edition . ISBN 9789464366389. Awe-inspiring reference work on the Flemish and Dutch art of drawing from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, with masterly drawings from the collection of the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR). The Royal Library of Belgium in Brussels houses the largest collection of drawings in the country. Among its highlights are works by leading artists of the Low Countries, including Pieter Bruegel I, Joris Hoefnagel, Hendrick Goltzius, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck, and Jacques Jordaens. As the library's collection has been little studied up to now, it is largely unknown to scholars and the general public. To acquaint a wider audience with these important works of art, this richly illustrated publication brings together for the first time over one hundred master drawings from the Royal Library's vaults. Not only new art-historical insights are presented, but also numerous rediscovered drawings and revised attributions to artists such as Maarten van Heemskerck and Karel van Mander. This carefully researched book, written by thirty specialists in the field, aims to make a significant contribution to our knowledge of the history of Netherlandish drawing from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Daan van Heesch is Head of Prints and Drawings at the Royal Library of Belgium. Sarah Van Ooteghem is an independent art historian. Between 2012 and 2018, she was Assistant Curator of Drawings at the Royal Library of Belgium. Joris Van Grieken is Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Royal Library of Belgium.

Brughiera

Suggestiva veduta pastorale, intitolata "Brughiera", forse raffigurazione della campagna romagnola o toscana o piemontese, località dove visse l'autore, il noto artista bolognese. Incisione originale all'acquaforte, impressa dallo stampatore torinese Carlo Lovera. Il Bignami coniugò l’attività di pittore a quella, prevalente, di acquafortista, legato al gruppo degli incisori piemontesi della seconda metà dell’Ottocento dominato dalla personalità di A. Fontanesi. Tra il 1869 e il 1870 visse a Firenze, che raffigurò spesso nei suoi paesaggi. A Torino partecipò, dal 1863, alle mostre della Società Promotrice, affermandosi nel 1871 con tre dipinti: Il pasto ai pulcini, L'ultima ora del lavoro e Le nebbie del mattino in riva all'Arno. Nello stesso anno si segnalò alla Promotrice di Bologna con due paesaggi giudicati «d’impronta vera e di fattura coscienziosa». Le notizie sulla sua attività espositiva si fermano al 1877, poiché l’artista dovette rinunciare precocemente alla pittura per una malattia agli occhi e per vicissitudini familiari. In ottimo stato di conservazione. Etching, lettered along bottom 'Adolfo Bignami inc Lovera imp.' followed by title “Brughiera”. Printed by Carlo Lovera The plate shows a shepherd herding sheep in the Brughiera. Very good condition. Bignami combined the activity of painter to that, prevalent, etching, linked to the group of Piedmontese engravers of the second half of the nineteenth century dominated by the personality of A. Fontanesi. Between 1869 and 1870 he lived in Florence, which often depicted in his landscapes. In Turin participated, since 1863, the exhibitions of the Society Promotrice, establishing himself in 1871 with three paintings: The meal of chicks, The last hour of work and The morning mists on the banks of the Arno. In the same year he was noticed at the Promotrice of Bologna with two landscapes judged "of true imprint and conscientious workmanship". The news about his exhibition activity stop in 1877, since the artist had to give up painting early because of an eye disease and family vicissitudes.

Busti, di profilo, di un giovane uomo e di una giovane donna

Copia di un niello già conservato nella collezione Durazzo (n. 2869), di cui sopravvivono due impronte originali (Gabinetto Rothschild al Louvre; British Museum, Londra). L'opera può essere datata alla fine del XV secolo e attribuita con una certa sicurezza alla scuola bolognese. Il giovane uomo e la donna sono probabilmente ritratti di persone reali, una coppia di fidanzati o sposati da poco. La loro disposizione, uno di fronte all'altro di profilo, è conforme alla pratica convenzionale del Quattrocento per i ritratti in pendant di mariti e mogli. I nielli della collezione Durazzo vennero fatti riprodurre in incisioni dal proprietario, tra fine XVIII e inizio XIX secolo, a Venezia - come specificato anche dal Malaspina nel suo catalogo del 1824 - costituendo una serie che venne diffusa e collezionata dagli amatori. Bartsch descrive queste copie nel suo volume edito nel 1811, data che quindi costituisce il terminus ante quem per l'esecuzione. Copy of a niello print formerly kept in the Durazzo collection (n. 2869), of which two original impression survives (Cabinet Rothschild at the Louvre; British Museum, London). The work may be dated to the end of the fifteenth century and attributed with some confidence to the Bolognese school. The young man and woman are probably portraits of actual people, a betrothed or recently married couple. Their arrangement, facing each another in profile, conforms to conventional quattrocento practise for pendant portraits of husbands and wives. The nielli of the Durazzo collection were reproduced in engravings by the owner himself, between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, in Venice - as also specified by Malaspina in his catalog of 1824 - constituting a series that was circulated and collected by amateurs. Bartsch describes these copies in his volume published in 1811, a date that therefore constitutes the terminus ante quem for the execution.

Busto di donna

Copia di un niello della ex collezione Durazzo, (n. 3860) L'immagine esiste anche in almeno altre tre varianti: un disegno lombardo ( ?) agli Uffizi ( inv . no . 209F), falsamente inscritto come un ritratto di Beatrice d'Este di Leonardo; un dipinto nel Metro politan Museum of Art con un monogramma di Dürer falsificato (il dipinto potrebbe essere esso stesso un falso) e la data 1506; e un'incisione precedentemente attribuita a Zoan Andrea ( vedi TIB 2509.026 ), apparentemente un artista fittizio ora identificato con Giovanni Antonio da Brescia ( TIB 2511 ) . Sebbene Dutuit e Blum abbiano chiamato l'opera veneziana, la composizione è chiaramente lombarda, e la stampa fu probabilmente prodotta a Milano alla fine del XV o all'inizio del XVI secolo. I nielli della collezione Durazzo vennero fatti riprodurre in incisioni dal proprietario, tra fine XVIII e inizio XIX secolo, a Venezia - come specificato anche dal Malaspina nel suo catalogo del 1824 - costituendo una serie che venne diffusa e collezionata dagli amatori. Bartsch descrive queste copie nel suo volume edito nel 1811, data che quindi costituisce il terminus ante quem per l'esecuzione. Copy of a niello print from the Durazzo Collection (n. 2860) The image also exists in at least three other variants : a Lombard ( ? ) drawing in the Uffizi ( inv . no . 209F ) , falsely inscribed as a portrait of Beatrice d'Este by Leonardo ; a painting in the Metro politan Museum of Art with a forged Dürer monogram ( the painting may itself be a forgery ) and the date 1506 ; and an engraving formerly attributed to Zoan Andrea ( see TIB 2509.026 ) , apparently a fictitious artist now identified with Giovanni Antonio da Brescia ( TIB 2511 ) . Although Dutuit and Blum called the work Venetian , the composition is clearly Lombard , and the print was probably produced in Milan at the end of the fifteenth or the beginning of the sixteenth century .

CAESAR VAN EVERDINGEN (1616/17-1678) The catalogue

Cloth bound with dusjacket, as new !! 2001. 4to., ca. 225 pp. text, 160 plts. and ill. (20 in color). ISBN 9070288478. Caesar van Everdingen is now justifiably regarded as the most prominent representative of Dutch Classicism. His art is important to the general study of history painting in the Golden Age and particularly to the assessment of the decoration of the Oranjezaal in the Huis ten Bosch at The Hague. New and extensive archival research has made it possible to complete the artist's biography. His oeuvre is presented in the form of a catalogue raisonne.The book begins with an introduction providing a historiographic review. This is followed by a biography of the artist and an overview of his career and stylistic development. All his known works are included in the catalogue: some thirty history and genre paintings and an equal number of portraits, whose history and iconographic contents are discussed in depth. Special attention is devoted to Van Everdingen's large-scale commissions, such as the decoration of the organ in the Grote Kerk in Alkmaar and the three outstanding works he contributed to the decoration of the Oranjezaal. Over the years he received important commissions not only from the city of Alkmaar and institutions like the Hoogheemraadschap of Rijnland (the polder board of the Rhineland) but also from burghers in Alkmaar and Haarlem. The catalogue is followed by appendixes containing transcriptions and translations of archival documents, lists of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century references to paintings by Van Everdingen and a list of works no longer considered to be by his hand.
