Book Dutch Figure Drawings from the Seventeenth Century

Download or read book Dutch Figure Drawings from the Seventeenth Century written by Peter Schatborn and published by Hague, Netherlands : Government Pub. Office. This book was released on 1981 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ''Contrary to our conception of Italian and Spanish drawing, figure studies are not the first works that come to mind when one imagines the panorama of Dutch drawing from Holland's flourishing period. One might think first about the quiet landscapes of Van Goyen, river views under a high sky with a ferry-boat transporting travelers, or about cattle with a shepherd in the shade of a willow as depicted by Cuyp or Potter. Another will see Ruisdael's heavy trees, Molijn's views of dunes, or the woods of Waterloo. For many the images are lively scenes at a public house by Ostade or colorful ice scenes by Averkamp; and nobody will forget the butterflies and insects, and the shells and flowers which were famous in such great numbers throughout the entire 17th century. Studies of the human figure are, initially, somewhat out of the picture. And what about Rembrandt then? Yes, those who think about his drawn cruvre see directly next to his biblical compositions, landscapes, beggars, and Orientals, nude models posing at the border of light and dark, rapid and precise figure sketches with the reed pen, sometimes four or five together on one sheet. In the extremely versatile cruvre of Rembrandt we find our first ideas about Dutch drawings corrected and now figure drawings by other artists also appear in the field of vision. Through closer observation these drawings appear in always greater numbers, in ever richer variation of type, and in unexpected colorful nuances of drawing techniques and materials. Among them one recognizes here and there one among a selection of 'One Hundred Drawings from the Golden Age', or 'Seventeenth Century Drawings from Public Collections. By now they seem to be accompanied by a whole crowd of family members, several generations that are very different from one another, all of them silent and waiting to be brought to speak.''--

This book was released on 2005 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time and Transformation brings together a variety of seventeenth-century Dutch paintings and works on paper in a major examination of themes dealing with the transformative effects of time and circumstance. The Dutch were fascinated with this idea and the variety of motifs used to convey it. Included are images of local landscapes with medieval structures left in ruins in the wake of the Spanish wars, depictions of rustic cottages and farmhouses, Dutch Italianate landscapes with Roman ruins, and representations of accidental ruins caused by flood or fire. Non-architectural imagery, such as vanitas still lifes and depictions of ruined trees encourage broader thinking on the meanings and associations of images of the fragmentary. Among the artists included are Rembrandt, Jacob van Ruisdael, Jan van Goyen, Abraham Bloemaert, Willem Kalf, Gerard Dou, and Bartholomaus Breenberg.

Book Fifteenth  to Eighteenth century European Drawings

This book was released on 1999 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Early European art was a consuming interest of both Robert Lehman and his father, Philip Lehman, an interest reflected in the remarkable number and quality of drawings they owned from the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. In addition to an important group of early German drawings, the collection includes a "Saint Paul" from a series associated with Jan van Eyck and the famous "Scupstoel" from the circle of Rogier van der Weyden, the only design for a decorative sculpture to survive from the fifteenth century. The great artists of the seventeenth century, Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob Jordaens, Claude Lorrain, and Rembrandt among them, are also represented, Rembrandt by seven drawings, including the large study of Leonardo's "Last Supper" that would stay in his mind all through his career. Drawings by Antoine Watteau, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Gabriel de Saint-Aubin, Thomas Gainsborough, Paul Sandby, and George Romney are among the many from eighteenth-century France and England. The volume discusses all 153 drawings at length, placing each in its art historical setting and complementing the discussion with comparative illustrations of related works."
