Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The most famous monument of the Dutch Golden Age is undoubtedly the Amsterdam Town Hall by architect Jacob van Campen inaugurated in 1655. Today we stand in awe confronted with the grand Classicist façade, the delightful horror of the sculptures in the Tribunal, and the magnificence of the huge Citizens' Hall. In the period of its construction, many artists and writers tried to capture the overwhelming impact of the building by, among other comparisons, relating it to the ancient Wonders of the World and by stressing its splendour, riches, and impressive scale. In doing so, they constructed the Town Hall as the ultimate wonder, thus offering a silent, but very powerful testimony to the power and position of the City of Amsterdam and its rulers as equals of the other European regimes.To fully understand these mechanisms of power, this book relates the Town Hall to other, impressive buildings of the same period-the palace of the Louvre, Saint Peter's Basilica, and Banqueting House-and their visual and textual representations. Thus, this book gives a broad audience of readers new insights into the agency of magnificent buildings. The Amsterdam Town Hall in Words and Images does not restrict itself to a national scope or a purely architectural analysis, but clarifies how artists and writers all over Europe presented buildings as wonders of the world. This book is pioneering in its analysis of seventeenth and eighteenth-century paintings, prints, drawings, poems, and travel accounts and offers a new understanding of how the wondrous character of these grand buildings was constructed.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In art history, the Belgian romantic artist Antoine Joseph Wiertz (1806-65) is often considered as the prototype of the artist as a "failure". Contemporaries described his colossal and melodramatic works as an odd and monstrous potpourri lacking focus and escaping all aesthetic categories. This disparaging for his work already began in 1839 when Wiertz exhibited his Greeks and Trojans fighting over the body of Patroclus at the Paris Salon. After seeing the painting, the Parisian critic Eduard Thierry wrote that "the step from the sublime to the ridiculous has been completely trespassed", while Charles Baudelaire described Wiertz as this idiot whose paintings were as large as his stupidity. Until deep in the twentieth century, this criticism would set the tone for the Wiertz study and reception, often labeling him as a curiosity and an outcast operating within the margins of contemporary artistic circles. This collection of essays corrects this cliche of Wiertz as an outsider. The first part of the book studies his oeuvre within an international art historical context focusing on the diverse genres and media he practiced. The second part focuses on the Musee Wiertz as one of the earliest examples of the artist museum as a new nineteenth-century phenomenon. Written by internationally renowned scholars, this book provides a new and exciting perspective on this fascinating but hardly studied artist. The first part of this book studies the oeuvre of the Belgian Romantic painter Antoine Wiertz (1806-1865) within an international art historical context, while the second part focuses on the Musee Wiertz as one of the earliest examples of the artist museum.
