Abstract

"The beeldenstorm, or the Iconoclastic Fury, that raged throughout the Low Countries in 1566 is a key concept in the history of the Netherlands. This 'popular uprising', which was partially grafted on Protestant ideas and characterized by its iconclasm, has traditionally and unquestioningly been considered a turning point in the history of the Low Countries. It is all the more striking, therefore, that this uprising has never received the attention it deserves in art history and that with very few exceptions there has been little to no interest in the development of painting just after the beeldenstorm and before the advent of the great Baroque masters. Featuring previously unpublished materials, Antwerp Art after Iconoclasm investigates how the esteemed painters of the period - including Adriaen Thomasz Key (1544-1599), Maarten de Vos (1532-1603), Frans Pourbus the Elder (1545-1581), and Michiel Coxcie (1499-1592) - sought a new visual idiom. This study explains why this period of Netherlandish history should be considered an important turning point in the broader context of art history."--Back cover.

Abstract

Michiel Coxcie lived to the age of 93 and witnessed all the important political, religious, economic and artistic upheavals of the sixteenth century. He was born just before Gerard David raised the art of the Flemish Primitives to its final pinnacle and did not die until the young Rubens had returned to Antwerp from Cologne. He must have known Quinten Metsijs, Joos van Cleve and Pieter Coecke van Aelst. Willem Key and Frans Floris were younger contemporaries, and Bruegel was of the next generation. He outlived them all. During his time in Italy in the 1530s he knew Michelangelo, and was said to be a friend of Giorgio Vasari. Titian, the Venetian prodigy, sent him pigments to help him finish his copy of Jan van Eyck's Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, and he even painted frescoes in the old Basilica of St Peter in Rome. Few people have led such a fascinating life as Michiel Coxcie. He was a celebrated painter, inundated with prestigious commissions from important clients. He had spent some ten years in Rome where he studied classical antiquity and the art of Renaissance masters like Raphael, Michelangelo and Da Vinci. Back in his the low Countries, Coxcie designed altarpieces, stained-glass windows and tapestries for clients in Brussels, Antwerp and Mechelen. The pinnacle of his career was his appointment as court painter to Emperor Charles V and Philip I. This book focuses on the multifaceted oeuvre of a highly talented yet all but forgotten master who, by introducing the art of the Italian High Renaissance into the Netherlands, earned himself the epithet of the 'Flemish Raphael'.

Abstract

Kunst is zoveel meer dan een esthetische ervaring of een intrigerend concept. Het is ook de toepassing van nieuwe technologieën, een instrument van politiek en religie, een katalysator van revoluties, een trigger van extreme reacties. Kunst is de blauwdruk van een tijdperk, een drager van ongrijpbare betekenis. Kunst vertegenwoordigt miljoenen euro's maar ook een zee van ontroering. Hoe is kunst in 2.500 jaar tijd geëvolueerd van de verbeelding van de ideale mens tot een abstract zwart vierkant? Waarom is Merda d'artista meer waard dan een prachtig zeventiende-eeuws landschap? Dit toegankelijke boek schetst in vijf hoofdstukken evenzoveel keer het verhaal van de beeldende kunsten in West-Europa van de oudheid tot moderne kunst. Zo wordt kunst niet gepresenteerd als een esthetische profetie, maar als een complex samenspel van menselijk vernuft en snel veranderende historische omstandigheden. - Koenraad Jonckheere is hoogleraar kunstgeschiedenis aan de Universiteit Gent. Hij is gefascineerd door het verschijnsel kunst en schreef eerder over onder andere portretkunst, kunsthandel, iconoclasme en Rubens. Dit boek is zijn magnum opus.
