Abstract

Gerard de Lairesse (1641-1711) wrote a booklet on the art of drawing (1701) and a manual on painting (1707). The latter, the "Groot Schilderboek", is the subject of this study by art historian Lyckle de Vries. This book may change our appreciation of Dutch seventeenth-century painting since it shifts the reader's attention from art theory and iconology to practical studio work: designing and making paintings in an attempt to create beauty and quality. With his fascinating reevaluation of De Lairesse's book and a helpful translation, De Vries offers a treasuretrove of information not easily found elsewhere. This book is indispensable for art historian, for students and teachers of art schools, and those with an interest in technical research and restoration. NB: the English translation of the first volume of the "Schilderboek" is a working translation by the author and is included on a CD-rom or can be downloaded from our site.

Abstract

Paintings from the Dutch Golden Age have been praised for many years, but it took a long time before such praise was extended to history paintings. Today, these paintings by Rembrandt, Goltzius, Lastman, Ter Brugghen and De Lairesse are truly considered part of the seventeenth-century canon. The works showing biblical and mythological images are regarded as highly as their contemporary still lives, landscapes and genre scenes. Stories in Gilded Frames is the first coherent overview of history paintings. History painters tell tales using paint and brush and this book highlights one hundred paintings by the most important representatives of the genre. The emphasis is placed on the way the painters bring their topics out into the open. The reader is invited to consider the choices the artists made.
