Baadj Jan van Kessel I (1626-1679): Crafting a Natural History of Art in Early Modern Antwerp VI+208 p., 50 b/w ill. + 52 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm, 2016 ISBN: 978-1-909400-23-8 Languages: English, Dutch Hardback Retail price: EUR 175,00 The curious art of Jan van Kessel provides an intriguing lens through which to explore the intersections between craft practices, collecting, and the pursuit of natural knowledge in early modern Antwerp. The Antwerp artist Jan van Kessel the Elder (1626-1679) was esteemed throughout Europe for producing finely-wrought, miniature paintings on copper that depict a wide range of flora and fauna, exotic landscapes, and objects of natural artistry (e.g. shells, coral, precious stones). The 'natural' world presented in Van Kessel's art was not a transparent window onto nature, however, but instead was ambitiously crafted through the artist's reappropriation of Antwerp's artistic traditions, material culture, and artisanal knowledge practices. Through a combination of wit, technical virtuosity, self-referentiality, and allusions to local art-historical lineage, Van Kessel's paintings encourage viewers to simultaneously think about art, in terms of collecting, connoisseurship, citation, and media, and think anew about nature. This study uses Van Kessel's art as a distinctive lens through which to examine the relationship between craft, curiosity, and the pursuit of natural knowledge in the early modern period. Each chapter situates Van Kessel within a particular context where art and natural history intersected in late seventeenth-century Antwerp. Taken together, these investigations reveal how his production responded to a unique convergence of circumstances in that city which included the growth of a popular, commercial strand of natural history, a thriving culture of art collecting and connoisseurship focused on local artists, and a burgeoning luxury industry. Van Kessel's material and conceptual interventions into the representation of nature, such as his innovative, painted "cabinets without drawers" and witty signatures formed from insects and snakes, enabled him to redefine the scope of natural historical illustration and negotiate the value and status of the small-format cabinet picture.

hardcover, 192 pages, Illustrated. ISBN 9789462585720. The Brueghels are the most famous family in the history of Western art. They were innovators and entrepreneurs who were active from around 1550 to 1700. Their roots in Brabant played a major role in their art, which focuses on the people, land, and culture of this region. For almost two centuries, the Brueghels produced hundreds of paintings, drawings, and prints that captivate and entertain viewers. These works are admired for their witty compositions, universal messages, and exceptional craftsmanship. From depictions of familiar proverbs to insect studies, and from credit card size paintings on copper to monumental canvases, the variety is endless. This reunion of all five generations looks anew at the Brueghels and the context in which they worked. Who were the members of this successful family and what connects their diverse careers? How did their fascination with the local landscape lead to new ways of representing nature in art? What do their artworks reveal about the consequences of global trade and European colonization? For the first time, attention is given to the crucial role of women in the family business. Brueghel: The Family Reunion is a catalogue that is as visually rich as the artworks themselves, and it unravels the secret of a centuries-long successful family of artists. 0 g.

Hardcover, 128 pag. NL, 280 x 230 mm, Nieuw, 80 afbeeldingen in kleur, In samenwerking met Het Noordbrabants Museum. ISBN 9789462585713. De kunstenaarsfamilie Brueghel, ook gespeld als Bruegel en Breughel, speelde tussen 1550 en 1700 een vooraanstaande rol in de Europese kunst. Tot op de dag van vandaag worden ze bewonderd om hun geestige en onderhoudende compositie, uitzonderlijk vakmanschap en tijdloze, universele boodschap. In het boek bij de nu al spraakmakende tentoonstelling kijken we met nieuwe ogen naar de Brueghelfamilie, de tijd en de context waarin zij werkten. Wie waren de krachtige vrouwen in deze familie en wat was hun rol in de roem en het succes van de familie? We maken onder anderen kennis met Mayken Verhulst, de onzichtbare matriarch. Ze was een van de beroemdste kunstenaars van haar tijd en een slimme zakenvrouw, lerares, schoonmoeder en grootmoeder van de eerste en tweede generatie Brueghelkunstenaars. We maken ook kennis met Anna Maria Janssens en Clara Eugenia Brueghel, van wie kunst- en matronagenetwerken de machtigste artistieke families in Antwerpen met elkaar verbonden. Daarnaast presenteert het boek nieuwe inzichten over de invloed van de wereldhandel en het kolonialisme op het familiebedrijf. 0 g.
