Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...attributed to him. The author possesses a drawing (73 cm. high by 98 cm. wide) in red-and blackchalk, heightened with a little blue-green and white watercolour paint, in which the same subject is treated by Jordaens, but in a very different way. Most of the accessories have been retained, but the groups and some of the personages have been arranged differently. It is the largest drawing that Jordaens or any other Flemish painter ever made. In the Albertina at Vienna there is a drawing which is a copy of the group of five persons to the right in this picture. SAINT Ivo--BRUSSELS. The picture of Saint Ivo, receiving the poor pleaders, which is to be found in the Brussels Museum, is dated.the same year, 1645. The holy lawyer stands in the centre of his office. He is enveloped in a red, velvet toga edged with ermine; hair and beard are long and gray. He raises the first finger of his right hand, as he speaks to the poor who have come to beg for his assistance. These are standing to the right, near the entrance to the room; they are a mother, kneeling, and holding a child who strokes a dog which is jumping up against the woman; then a peasant in a bluish-green blouse, his cap in his hands which he extends in supplication; a peasant woman wearing a straw hat, and next to her two children. To the left three clerks are seated at a table which is covered which a red cloth. On some shelves over their heads are books and registers, a bag with money, and office utensils. A dog is coming down the steps leading to the lower part of the room. The scene takes place in a large room in the style of the time, with a window in the centre of the background and an open door to the right. A flood of light streams into the room past the window, and falls warm...

Book Description
"Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678) was a Flemish Baroque painter whose work has largely been overshadowed by his contemporaries Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck. Providing new insight on the artist as well as art historical context for his works, Jacob Jordaens and Antiquity emphasizes his strategic intelligence with respect to imagery and the art market and challenges the common characterization of Jordaens as a bourgeois artist of genre scenes. Jordaens's work is examined as an example of classical culture being introduced into the commercial and intellectual life of Antwerp. He was an artist with an unusual talent for conveying imagery from classical literature, ranging from Satyr and Peasant to Diogenes Searching for an Honest Man. Focusing on the theme of antiquity, this volume features eighty paintings, drawings, tapestries, and sculptures from private collections and major museums, including the Museo Nacional del Prado in Spain and the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark."--Publisher's website.

Book Description
16 essays by a group of internationally acclaimed authors help contribute to a clearer perception of the complex facets of Jacob Jordaens' oeuvre -- and moreover to distinguish it from the works of Rubens, van Dyck, and his contemporaries. The title "Genius of Grand Scale" refers to the spectrum from history to genre as well as to Jordaens' preference for large formats. The greatness of the artist Jacob Jordaens needs to be emphasized, since even though he outlived Rubens for four whole decades, he was never able to escape from under his shadow. By reference to iconographic and iconological studies, single works are identified and presented in a broad review and the long, in many aspects fragmentary reception of his artistic work also forms a large part of the interpretations presented here. Furthermore, technical examinations of paintings assist in defining more precisely how they were generated.This overdue volume presents essential reading for anyone interested in Jacob Jordaens.
