Description:The greatest landscape artists include a large number of seventeenth-century Dutchmen. Heading the list is of course Rembrandt, whose landscape etchings are among the legendary masterpieces of world art. Jacob van Ruisdael, known primarily for his landscape paintings, also produced unexpectedly daring etchings. Besides these great names there are more than forty other lesser-known artists, each with an unmistable style and a personal outlook that bcomes part of the observer's own way of seeing. Most extraordinary of all is the eccentric Hercules Segers, whose visionary colour etchings defeat all the clichés about Dutch art.Dutch landscape art has never before been captured as flawlessly as in the pages of this book. Drawing on the riches of hte greatest collection of Dutch prints ever assembled, the printroom of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Irene de Groof, has selcted 250 works covering the entire range of landscape prints in the Golden Age of Dutch art. Her book is the first in more than fifty years devoted to the subject, most of works reproduced here are unknown except to specialists.The fact that the works are etchings (with a few woodcuts and engravings as well) is extremely significant. Unlike paintings, good etchings are never retouched by restorers. Because they are kept away from the light, they barely age. The 250 prints in this book could have been made yesterday for all the damage or decay they have suffered in the last three centuries. Every care has been taken to transmit these precious images as freshly and authentically as possible. Virtually all the prints are reproduced in true size, and directly from the originals rather than from photographs.Few art books have ever conveyed the impression of a large group of major works as directly as this. It is one of the rare books to introduce a beautiful and important area of art for the first time and to do it authoritatively and comprehensively.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
