softcover, Pages: 344 pages . Illustrated. Fine copy. ISBN 9789042930858. Frans Francken de Oude (ca. 1542-1616) was een van de bekendste historieschilders van zijn tijd. Als zelfstandig schilder specialiseerde hij zich in altaarstukken. Met zijn triptieken wist hij zowel gilden en ambachten als religieuze orden te bekoren. Frans Franckens carriere startte in de woelige jaren zeventig van de zestiende eeuw en eindigde tijdens het bewind van de aartshertogen Albrecht en Isabella. Zijn oeuvre en levensloop zijn dan ook verbonden met de politieke, religieuze, socio-economische en culturele veranderingen die de tweede helft van de zestiende eeuw en de eerste decennia van de zeventiende eeuw typeerden. Hoewel Frans Francken tijdens zijn leven geprezen werd, raakte zijn oeuvre na zijn dood al snel in de vergetelheid. De catalogue raisonne brengt niet alleen de nog bewaarde werken terug onder de aandacht, maar werpt ook licht op een fascinerend verloren gegaan oeuvre. only in DUTCHFrans Francken the Elder (ca. 1542-1616) was one of the best known history painters of his time. As an independent artist, he specialized in altarpieces. He knew as religious orders to his triptychs delight both guilds and crafts. French Franckens career started in the turbulent seventies of the sixteenth century and ended during the reign of the Archdukes Albert and Isabella. His work and life are also linked to the political, religious, socio-economic and cultural changes that the second half of the sixteenth century and the first decades of the seventeenth century typified. Although Frans Francken was praised during his lifetime, his work soon became after his death into oblivion. The catalog raisonne brings not only still preserved works back under the attention, but also sheds light on a fascinating lost oeuvre. 0 g. Seller Inventory # 46167
