Author: Eisele, Klaus

ISBN: 9783981505900
Description: Stuttgart: Rob Bonte Publishers, 2012. 30cm., hardcover, 542pp. Summary: Did Rembrandt have a nickel allergy? Who painted the judge in the elephant robe? Which illness did van Dyck have? Did Picasso paint his Guernica based on a Rubens`s work? Who painted the Dodo and the Aphanapterix? You will find the answers to these and many other questions concerning Dutch and Flemish paintings in this multi-volume work - a bibliography of literature on painting in the Gouden Eeuw (Golden Age). In almost 40 years, the author has compiled an extensive bibliography of nearly all publications from 1600 to 2011 on the subject of Dutch and Flemish paintings of the 17th century. It was essential to the author that the bibliography would also enable access to a very large number of images relating to the painters. More than 35,000 different items of literature are assembled in this bibliographic series, referencing more than 200,000 images. By publishing this bibliography, this extensive collection is now for the first time accessible to art historians, librarians, students, dealers, auctioneers and especially to collectors. Books, journal articles and catalogue entries of exhibitions and also by important art dealers (a special desideratum for the research for monographies), as well as collection catalogues of important collectors (the latter including old auction catalogues for provenance research), were taken into account, but only if expressive illustrations were included; reviews were only paid attention to in exceptional cases. The only Dutch and Flemish painters to be taken into account were to be those who had worked in the 17th century. An exception was only to be made for some foreign painters, such as Johannes Lingelbach or Jürgen Ovens etc, who had lived and worked in Holland or Flanders. It was the intention of the author to only record the artists' biography and oeuvre of paintings, leaving out the drawings and the graphics. The many illustrations in the inventory catalogues of the most notable international museums (e.g. Rijksmuseum, Mauritshuis, National Gallery, Louvre, Metropolitan Museum, Alte Pinakothek, Prado et al) were deliberately not included, as quick and easy access to these publications is possible at any time in specialist libraries. The present multi-volume publication has recorded and cross-referenced the literature on over 2.600 painters of the "Golden Age" and in many cases also provides information on the illustrations included in the literature. With this work, as well as with a further volume on individual topics, which is in preparation, all recorded lit-erature items will have been cross-referenced in full. Volume I cross-references the literature on 933 painters. (A Bibliography of publications on Dutch and Flemish Paintings. Bont'sche Bibliothek fuer Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte, 4)
