Hardcover with dusjackets 778 pages ., 161 b/w ill. + 99 colour ill., 180 x 265 mm, Languages: English. fine condition ISBN 9781912554232. Rubens Decius Mus Cycle is in many ways a first. It provides the earliest example of work for the medium of tapestry, and so illustrates the artist's approach to the challenges presented by a narrative sequence of images. The woven versions, like the corresponding set of six paintings preserved in the collection of the Prince of Liechtenstein since 1692, represent the heroic death of the Roman Consul Decius Mus, following Livy?s account of how he sacrificed himself to the gods to procure victory for Rome. Rubens stages the episodes of this dramatic story with characteristic ingenuity, producing images with a powerful visual impact and narrative force. To recreate Livy?s story with Roman authenticity, Rubens drew on a wide range of sources, including not only classical texts but the growing antiquarian literature of his age, as well as archaeological evidence that he had studied in person while in Italy. The Decius Mus Cycle thus forms Rubens?s first large-scale manifestation of the reception of antiquity. At the same time it reveals the inspiration of Italian Renaissance traditions. Begun in 1617, the Decius Mus Cycle belongs to a particularly intense and productive phase of Rubens?s career. Many altarpieces and other large-scale compositions were also realised in this period, which made the participation of an extensive workshop essential. Together with the preparatory modelli, the paintings of the Decius Mus Cycle testify to the interaction of master and assistants, providing clearer documentation than was previously available of Rubens?s creative process. Technical examination undertaken specifically for the present volume ? including full-surface analysis using X-ray and infrared reflectography ? has resolved many puzzles and will provide future researchers with a wealth of new information. Review ?What remains beyond doubt or debate is the enormous value of this two-volume addition to the Corpus Rubenianum and to future Rubens scholarship. It is as heroic as the story ? and cycle ? it treats so magisterially: Rubens-worthy!? (Charles Scribner III, in Historians of Netherlandish Art, July 2020)
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.

Hardcover with dusjacket, 2 volumes ., 680 pages ., 340 b/w ill. + 150 colour ill., 180 x 265 mm,. ISBN 9781912554652. This book is devoted to a remarkable aspect of Rubens painted production. It investigates and catalogues not only works that Ludwig Burchard (1886?1960) gathered into the category of Study Heads, but also head studies by artists closely connected to Rubens's workshop which were demonstrably used in his paintings. The existence of a stock of study heads or tronies allowed Rubens and his collaborators to exploit the same figures in many different contexts and create satisfying variety among the numerous characters involved in mythological, biblical or historical scenes. In Rubens?s work, study heads constitute an exceptional type of painting in that they were created not as autonomous works of art, but as a means to an end, an indispensable part of his artistic practice. Yet, even in this marginal category of work, Rubens achieves maximum artistic expression with an economy of means, as for example in the iconic Four Studies of the Head of an African Man in the Brussels Museum. The originals of the study heads remained together until the sale of Rubens?s possessions at his death in 1640. Over the centuries, many of Rubens?s tronies have undergone transformation. Panels featuring several heads were cut up quite early on to be sold as separate pictures on the art market, and some tronies were converted by later artists into specific characters or even genre scenes by adding extra planks of wood and giving the heads distinctive clothes and attributes. This book aims to reconstruct as far as possible the original appearance of Rubens?s tronies, aided by the evidence of copiesand technical research on the works themselves.
