They were also extremely influential: Elsheimer's often recondite subject matter, his astonishing ability to render night scenes, his uniquely lyrical use of landscape deeply affected generations of artists; one of the first to fall under his spell was Rubens. Most of what we know about Elsheimer's life and sadly curtailed career comes from the biographies reprinted in this volume, which also includes personal reminiscences by friends and other painters. Unavailable for many years, these writings bring Elsheimer's extraordinary art to life. A new introduction by Claire Pace sets the paintings and these writings into the context of their times.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Arts & PhotographyContributor: Claire Pace (Edited by)Book Series: Lives of the ArtistsItem Weight: 106gISBN-10: 1843680130Release Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
