Description: Bussum: Thoth, 2014. 28cm., pbk., 288pp. with 235 color illus. English text. Exhibition held at Fondation Custodia, Paris. Summary: Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam holds a particularly rich collection of early Netherlandish drawings which run from the late Middle Ages to the period which is justly called the Dawn of the Golden Age. Key names include Hieronymus Bosch, Lucas van Leyden, Pieter Bruegel, Hendrick Goltzius, Karel van Mander, Jacques de Gheyn and Abraham Bloemaert. This group of about 400 pages has been catalogued in recent years, and a selection of 140 of the most beautiful works is presented in full- page format and colour this book, together with explanatory texts including supporting illustrations. Almost all the functions of drawing are to be found here: trying out a composition or a group of figures for a painting, exploring the fall of draped cloth, portrait drawings, designs for stained glass windows or prints, recording nature, and the depiction of imaginary scenes from the artist's mind, or scenes derived from literature or the Bible. The techniques used are widely varied, so that the book offers a perfect overview of early draughtsmanship.
