Softcover. Color-illus. card wraps with black lettering on pale yellow spine. French flaps. XXV + 210 pp. with 175 illustrations, mostly in color. Text in English. Catalogue to accompany the exhibition held at the National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC) June - October 2015 and at the Centraal Museum Utrecht and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. With a lengthy biographical introduction, followed by 5 main sections, each with a thorough essay: Desire and Devotion in Wtewael's Art; Love and Passion: Wtawael's Personal Statement; Hastening to See Christ: Religious Painting in an Age of Conflict; Wtewael's Historical Reputation; and Wtewael as Draftsman. Catalogue of 54 works, each well-annotated. Particularly rich color plates in this catalogue. Scarce in softcover. "A brilliant colorist and masterful storyteller, Dutch mannerist Joachim Wtewael (1566-1638) wielded a remarkably skilled brush and the technical ability to show it off in intricate compositions. He took inspiration from a wide range of biblical and mythological sources to create imaginative, often quite erotic scenes. While such pictures were prized in Wtewael's time, more recently they were hidden away--behind other paintings, in leather folders on bookshelves, and in the reserves of great museums. This richly-illustrated volume brings together more than fifty of Wtewael's finest paintings and drawings, from a small jewel-like picture on copper depicting Mars and Venus to large-scale mannerist showpieces such as TheMartyrdom of Saint Sebastian and Perseus and Andromeda. A pillar of the Utrecht community, Wtewael was engaged in business, religion, and politics as well as art. He adopted the exotic mannerist style, full of artifice and inventive manipulation, and continued to be fascinated by the challenge of creating sophisticated variations well into his maturity, when other Dutch artists had turned to naturalism. This book explores Wtewael's amazingly refined and detailed paintings and drawings, shedding light on his reputation, his life, and the conflicted times--marked by iconoclasm and strife--in which he thrived."

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. The comprehensive exhibition catalog for the first major monographic retrospective of the Dutch Mannerist painter Joachim Wtewael (1566-1638). This exhibition traveled to the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in 2015 and 2016. Wtewael was a master of late Mannerism, celebrated for his brilliant coloration, complex compositions, and meticulously detailed paintings—many executed on small copper plates. This volume explores the fascinating duality of his work, contrasting his deeply devout religious narratives with his highly sensual, and sometimes explicitly erotic, mythological scenes. Features essays by leading experts in Netherlandish art, contextualizing Wtewael's life in Utrecht, his entrepreneurial success, and his artistic legacy. 240 pages, fully illustrated with high-quality color reproductions of his paintings and exquisite drawings. Quarto. Very Good. Clean, tight text block. Dust jacket as new. No internal markings or owner names.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously documents the events surrounding a protracted dispute within a New England congregational church in the early 1800s. The controversy stemmed from the appointment of a new professor of divinity at Dartmouth College, an action perceived by some as threatening to the authority of the church's established pastor. The dispute quickly escalated, resulting in the formation of a separate church by the dissenting faction within the congregation. The book presents a detailed account of the events leading to this schism, including the involvement of the college's Board of Trustees and several councils convened to mediate the conflict. The author delves into the underlying causes of the dispute, exploring themes of power dynamics, denominational loyalty, and the role of tradition in religious communities. Ultimately, the book provides significant insights into the challenges faced by religious institutions during a period of rapid social and intellectual change. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
