About this title

Synopsis

This series, edited by Professor d'Hulst, is a definitive multi-volumed catalogue raisonné of the work of the great Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens. Part III provides sixty-seven outstanding examples of Rubens's gift as a narrator, bearing witness to the fertility of his imagination, the accuracy of his drawings, and the inspired skill of his brushwork. Each work is considered in light of the best scholarship, with full provenances for the originals and the copies, a record of exhibitions in which they have been shown, as well as the literature in which they have been discussed. Everything catalogued is also illustrated with additional comparative illustrations.

Synopsis

This catalogue raisonne of the work of the Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens is being published in 27 parts, some of which are in more than one volume. The Corpus is based on the material assembled over several decades by Ludwig Burchard. After his death in 1960, his material was handed over to the City of Antwerp to be published by the Belgian "National Centrum voor de Plastische Kunsten van de XVIde en de XVIIde Eeuw". The Centre's President, Professor R.A. d'Hulst, of Ghent University, is the General Editor of the Series. Each part is conceived as a separate volume dealing with a particular commission or group of subjects.
