Celebrates the early virtuosity of Van Dyck with an in-depth study of the work he produced before the age of twenty-two By the age of twenty-two, Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641) had produced more than 160 paintings, many of them ambitious compositions of remarkable quality. This book presents the work created during the eight years between 1613, when he was just fourteen, to his departure for Italy from Antwerp in October 1621. Were the paintings he created during these years his only legacy, he would still be recognized as one of the greatest artists of the seventeenth century. Van Dyck’s precocious talents are brilliantly demonstrated in the many important works reproduced here, among them such strikingly original masterpieces as The Taking of Christ and Saint Jerome in the Desert. Others―Christ’s Entry into Jerusalem and The Lamentation, for example―reveal Van Dyck at his most experimental, in search of new ways of increasing the visual impact of his compositions. Van Dyck was also one of the first painters to rise to the challenge of Rubens’s omnipresent influence, evident in works such as The Crowning with Thorns. 280 color illustrations

An illuminating study of the singularly gifted Dutch artist Frans Hals, a true revolutionary in the field of portraiture and one of the most sought-after painters of his generation &nbsp; This beautifully illustrated book offers a fresh scholarly appraisal of Frans Hals, more than 30 years since the last large exhibition devoted to his work. Essays cover all the important aspects of Hals's oeuvre, including his militia paintings, his spectacular family portraits and his depictions of laughter: he was one of very few artists throughout the history of Western painting who successfully managed to paint people smiling and laughing. The texts also provide an overview of the artist's life, and examine his extraordinarily virtuoso technique, which involved painting extremely fast straight on to the canvas. &nbsp; The authors set out to place Hals and his work firmly in the context of his time, employing new previously unpublished archival research and technical findings. For the first time, an overview is given of all the apprentices who worked for Hals. Other themes, such as the design for portrait prints or the humour seen in the works of Frans Hals, have never before been treated separately. &nbsp; Published by National Gallery Global/Distributed by Yale University Press &nbsp; Exhibition Schedule: &nbsp; The National Gallery, London (September 30, 2023-January 21, 2024) &nbsp; The Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (February 15-June 9, 2024)
