Detalii produs

Although Adam Elsheimer (1578–1610) painted on an almost miniature scale and died very young, his paintings remain some of the most striking in the history of Western art. Elsheimer’s recondite subject matter, astonishing ability to render night scenes, and uniquely lyrical use of landscape deeply affected generations of artists. Several key biographies of Elsheimer, along with the personal reminiscences of his friends and contemporary painters, compose this intriguing collection of essays and bring the artist’s brief career and remarkable times to life.

Descriere

Although Adam Elsheimer (1578-1610) painted on an almost miniature scale and died very young from, it was said, the overwork that resulted from the intensity of his methods, his paintings remain some of the most strangely poetical in the history of Western art. They were also extremely influential: Elsheimer's often recondite subject matter, his astonishing ability to render night scenes, his uniquely lyrical use of landscape deeply affected generations of artists; one of the first to fall under his spell was Rubens. Most of what we know about Elsheimer's life and sadly curtailed career comes from the biograpies reprinted in this volume, which also includes personal reminiscences by friends and other painters. Unavailable for many years, these writings bring Elsheimer's extraordinary art to life. A new introduction by Claire Pace sets the paintings and these writings into the context of their times.
