Paperback. Condition: New. In 2019, it will be 450 years since the death of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1526/28-1569). To mark this anniversary, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna is organising the first ever retrospective of Bruegel's work, while The World of Bruegel will be shown in the Bokrijk Open-Air Museum. The two institutions are joining forces to bring Bruegel's masterpiece The Fight Between Carnival and Lent (1559) to life. An important key in this respect are the numerous everyday objects that are depicted in the painting. In collaboration with the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen (Rotterdam) and the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam), the props that Bruegel depicted have been examined and interpreted from a contemporary perspective. The authors allow the objects to speak for themselves, preceded by an introductory essay by curator Sabine Penot of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Just as Bruegel's paintings were 'conversation pieces' in their day, intended to trigger a discussion between guests during dinners, this book presents a three-way conversation about The Fight Between Carnival and Lent through Bruegel realia, in which art history (Katrien Lichtert), historical design (Alexandra van Dongen and Lucinda Timmermans) and literature (Abdelkader Benali) enter into a dialogue.In A Conversation Piece, the authors reveal the humour, symbolism, imagery and hidden stories behind the everyday objects in the painting. The exhibition Pieter Bruegel the Elder will run from 2 October 2018 to 13 January 2019 in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, and the exhibition The World of Bruegel will be on display in the Bokrijk Open-Air Museum from 6 April to 20 October 2019.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Margaret, Duchess of Parma (1522-1586), an extraordinarily fascinating figure, has slipped through the cracks of history until recently. As the illegitimate daughter of Charles V, she had a rather unusual start in life. In time, however, Margaret became one of the most powerful women in Italy, attracting a lot of attention. In 1559, she was appointed governor-general of the Netherlands. She was also a keen art lover and patron of the arts. This book takes a closer look at the life of Margaret of Parma and the sumptuous court where she lived as a woman-in-power, with all the pomp and circumstance that involved, via fashion, art, music, festivities and the elite pursuit of hunting. It also examines the dangerous political atmosphere of the Low Countries at the time, with the Iconoclasm, the Dutch Revolt, the arrival of the Duke of Alba and the Eighty Years' War. The beautiful drawings from the Brussels Album (1555-56) bring Margaret's wondrous world to life in an exceptional way. As do more than a hundred artworks - portraits, paintings and luxury objects - from the sixteenth century. Authors from different disciplines look at every aspect of Margaret's life and times, to ensure that the emperor's daughter finally occupies her rightful place in history. This richly illustrated book throws light on the legacy and life of Margaret of Parma, whose importance in 16th century Europe has often been overshadowed. Accompanies an exhibition in Belgium from September 21 2024 to January 5 2025 with loans from the Louvre, Galleria Nazionale Parma, Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, The British Museum and more. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback, 223 pagina's, 28,7 x 24,7 x 2,3 cm, rijkelijk geillustreerd in kleur. ISBN 9789463728928. Adriaen Brouwer werd rond 1606 geboren in Oudenaarde, een stad in de Vlaamse Ardennen. Recent archiefonderzoek heeft dit nu definitief aangetoond. Al vrij jong trekt Brouwer naar de Noordelijke Nederlanden: naar Haarlem en Amsterdam. Later woont hij in Antwerpen, waar hij reeds in 1638 sterft. Ondanks een kort en turbulent leven liet deze exceptionele meester een indrukwekkend oeuvre na, klein in omvang maar kwalitatief van het allerhoogste niveau. Veelzijdig en innovatief, dat zijn de begrippen die zijn oeuvre het beste samenvatten. Vanuit kunsthistorisch oogpunt is Adriaen Brouwers werk van uitzonderlijk belang: als baanbrekend meester slaat hij een brug tussen de zestiende-eeuwse Bruegeltraditie en de genre- en landschapsvoorstellingen van de zeventiende eeuw. Zijn schilderstalent en de gelaagdheid van zijn werk maken hem tot een van de boeiendste kunstenaars van de zeventiende-eeuwse Lage Landen. Brouwers bekendheid in zijn eigen tijd en de appreciatie door meesters zoals Rubens, Rembrandt en Van Dyck, staan in schril contrast met de perceptie van de kunstenaar vandaag de dag: bij het grote publiek is Adriaen Brouwer relatief onbekend. 'Adriaen Brouwer. Meester van emoties' brengt hierin verandering. Het boek verschijnt naar aanleiding van een tentoonstelling in Oudenaarde (15 september-16 december 2018). Katrien Lichtert is curator van deze ambitieuze tentoonstelling. Ze bracht een internationaal team samen van kunsthistorici die diepgaand de diverse aspecten van zijn oeuvre analyseren en verklaren. 0 g.…
