About This Item
Brussel Mercatorfonds / Koninklijke Musea voor Schone Kunsten 2008. Gebonden, rood linnen onder geillustreerde stofomslag in kleur, 240 x 285mm., 224pp., 160 illustraties in kleur. ISBN 9789061538134. Dat zo'n keur aan Vlaamse meesters in een collectie zit, is op zich al bijzonder. Dat die collectie op reis gaat, mag nog uitzonderlijker heten. De indrukwekkende Vlaamse afdeling van de Royal Collection verliet nog nooit eerder bijna in zijn geheel de Britse eilanden. De selectie van een vijftigtal schilderijen biedt een uitgelezen kans om het gezamenlijke topniveau van de kunstenaars van de lage landen in te schatten. De schilderijen werden tussen de 15de en de 17de eeuw gemaakt, in aanvankelijk voorspoedige maar, na de opstand tegen de Spanjaarden, ook woelige tijden. Tegen 1550 was Vlaanderen een van de rijkste streken ter wereld. Antwerpen zoog als het wereldcentrum van welvaart kunstenaars en verzamelaars, intellectuelen en burgers naar zich toe. De schilders haalden the rich and the famous voor hun ezel, en die betaalden graag voor de luisterrijke Vlaamse portretten vol realistische details. De meesters vonden de oude verhalen van bijbel en mythe telkens opnieuw uit, en de katholieke kerk zette de schilderijen graag in bij de contrareformatie. Ook in het landschapsgenre werden ze wereldvermaard. De Tachtigjarige Oorlog (1568-1648) maakte aan de voorspoed van deze streken een einde, maar de schilders weken uit en bleven meesterwerk na meesterwerk maken. Nieuw boek.
