About this Item
HB, 265 x 220 mm, 196 pages, ENGLISH edition ISBN 9789464666786. Unique view on the 'tronies' in art from the Netherlands Our fascination for faces transcends eras and cultures. Turning Heads ? Rubens, Rembrandt and Vermeer highlights a remarkable genre in painting to which little attention has so far been paid: tronies or study heads, which were intended first and foremost to depict an emotion or a character trait. Since the model?s identity did not matter, painters could truly go to town with these heads. Tronies were drawn and painted by some of the greatest masters: D rer, Bruegel, Massys, Rubens, Rembrandt and Vermeer, to name just a few. Turning Heads offers a fresh insight into a genre that is older and more varied than you might think. This book includes dozens of illustrations plus the thoughts of contemporary artists for whom the face is essential to their own work. Catalogue for the exhibition of the same name at the KMSKA in Antwerp (from October 20, 2023 to January 21, 2024) and the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin (from February 24 to May 26, 2024). 0 g.
