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.

Hardback, 192 pagina's, 26 x 21 cm, Nederlandstalige tekst. *Nieuw. ISBN 9789463887908. De beroemde reis van Albrecht D rer door de Lage Landen in woord en beeld De grote Albrecht D rer (1471-1528) is zonder twijfel een van de bekendste Duitse kunstenaars. Als vaandeldrager van de noordelijke renaissance was D rer tevens een van de eerste echte Europese kunstenaars: zijn oeuvre bezit een opvallend internationaal karakter en vormt een brug tussen Noord en Zuid. De vele reizen die hij door het vroegmoderne Europa maakte, drukten alle hun stempel op zijn artistieke persoonlijkheid. Zijn laatste grote reis bracht hem in 1520-1521 naar de Lage Landen. Samen met echtgenote Agnes en dienstmeid Susanna verliet de kunstenaar in juli 1520 zijn geboortestad Neurenberg. Het gezelschap trok richting Antwerpen en kwam pas een goed jaar later terug. Deze memorabele reis door de Nederlanden is uitzonderlijk goed gedocumenteerd. Albrecht D rer hield niet alleen een reisdagboek bij, naast schilderijen maakte hij vooral een enorme hoeveelheid tekeningen in verschillende technieken van de mensen die hij ontmoette, de landschappen die hij doorkruiste en de objecten die hij zag. Al dat materiaal biedt een buitengewone kijk op D rers persoonlijke interesses en op zijn activiteiten als reizende kunstenaar-ondernemer. Dit boek verschijnt naar aanleiding van de vijfhonderdste verjaardag van D rers reis door de Lage Landen. Katrien Lichtert is kunsthistorica en oprichter van Ludens Projecten. Haar onderzoek focust op kunst en cultuur in de laatmiddeleeuwse en vroegmoderne Zuidelijke Nederlanden. Ze is onder meer auteur van Adriaen Brouwer ? Meester van emoties en De wereld van Bruegel. Alexandra van Dongen is kunsthistorica en conservator bij het Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. Haar onderzoek focust op de materi le cultuur van de late middeleeuwen tot en met de negentiende eeuw. Ze is medeauteur van De wereld van Bruegel. 0 g.
