Did the countless history pieces, landscapes, portraits, still lifes, and scenes from everyday life truly originate in cities like Amsterdam, Haarlem, Delft, and Leiden? Or could the cradle of these genres be found elsewhere? This book presents over 90 masterpieces by Flemish and Dutch artists to demonstrate how 17th-century Dutch painting could not have flourished without the foundations laid in 16th-century Antwerp. Thoroughly researched, it tells the story of talented and accomplished artists and merchants who migrated north in search of religious liberty and new commercial opportunities after Antwerp fell to Spanish Catholic troops in 1585. Contributions to the text come from Koenraad Jonckheere, professor of art history at Ghent University and author of the bestselling A New History of Western Art, Micha Leeflang, curator at the Museum Catharijneconvent, and Sven Van Dorst, head of the restoration studio at The Phoebus Foundation, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2274g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 249 x 299 x 37 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789464666281\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koenraad Jonckheere,Micha Leeflang,e.a., Sven Van Dorst","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44377890128122,"sku":"9789464666281","price":38.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_7365db8d-711c-4ecc-ac2e-5fb13cb76dd0.jpg?v=1690190251","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/from-antwerp-to-amsterdam-painting-from-the-sixteenth-and-seventeenth-centuries-9789464666281","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
