Book by Seymour Slive

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

No old master artist begins to match the variety of lanscapes Jacob van Ruisadel (1628-9-1682) depicted during the course of his career, nor his grandeur of conception and skill in portraying natural phenomena. His themes span identifiable towns, cities, and castles; rural scenes, both cultivated and wild, seascapes and shore scenes, rivers, bridges and sluices; rushing torrents and Scandinavian waterfalls. In this beautifully illustrated book, Seymour Slive demonstrates Ruisdael's unrivalled range and quality through a vivid evocation of his career not only as a painter, but also as a drafstman and etcher. Slive discusses the artist's clientele, early collectors and critics, as well as his influence on another preeminent landscapist, John Constable.
