About This Item
New Haven, Connecticut: Yale University Press, 2010. First. Hardbound. VG, light shelf wear to DJ. Color pictorial boards with color pictorial DJ, [xii] 484pp, 453 illustrations including 337 in color. [This volume] offers a much needed comprehensive reappraisal of the artist's accomplishments--the first in 45 years. It is not only an exhibition catalogue but also a study of Gossart's complete oeuvre as a painter, draftsman, and printmaker. Among the many highlights are the exquisite, gemlike Malvagna Triptych, Gossart's only surviving intact altarpiece; the Carondelet Diptych, one of the masterpieces of early Netherlandish portraiture; the Portrait of an Old Couple, an astonishingly trenchant psychological study; the extraordianry drawing of Adam and Eve from the collection of the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth; and a unique hand-colored etching of the young Charles V. To demonstrate the artistic milieu of which Gossart was part, antiqueand Renaissance sculpture, paintings by contemporaries such as Gerard David and Bernard van Orley, and prints and drawings by Marcantonio Raimondi, Lucas van Leyden, and Albrecht Durer are also discussed and illustrated.
