Bookseller’s description

Mandrella David
Jacob Van Loo

Paris: Arthena, 2011. 32 x 23 cm., cloth binding under dust jacket, 285pp., 291 illus., 69 in color.

Painter of exquisite refinement, superb colourist, and virtuoso draughtsman, Jacob van Loo was a master of genre and history painting as well as a consummate portraitist. Born in 1614, he spent the bulk of his career in Amsterdam, where he achieved great success from the early 1640s onward. Initially drawn to history painting inspired by pre-Rembrandt masters, he distinguished himself in genre scenes of gallant subjects, rivaling—and even surpassing—those of Vermeer, Metsu, and Ter Borch. Notable examples include the Couple in an Interior, a masterpiece in the Mauritshuis, The Hague. His remarkable family portraits also bear comparison with those of Thomas de Keyser, the fashionable portraitist of the day. A rich diversity of inspiration—from ostentatious, worldly, and aristocratic portraits to refined genre scenes and bacchanals with bold, stylized nudes set against landscape backgrounds—coalesces into a strong and unified style: the softness of his palette and the sumptuous, almost tactile rendering of silken fabrics link the Magdalena Stockmans of Cologne to the Zorobabel of Orléans; a splendid luminosity, under a frank golden light, caresses and models the timeless nudes of Diana and Callisto. The delicate landscape backgrounds are a unifying feature across his genre scenes and fables...

Mandrella David
Jacob Van Loo

Paris : Arthena, 2011. 32 x 23 cm., reliure toilée sous jaquette, 285pp., 291 illus., 69 in color.

Peintre d'exquis raffinement, superbe coloriste, exécutant virtuose, peintre de genre et d'histoire et magistral portraitiste, Jacob van Loo, né en 1614, mène l'essentiel de sa carrière à Amsterdam où il connaît un grand succès dès le début des années 1640. Porté à l'origine vers la peinture d'histoire inspirée des peintres pré-rembranesques, il s'illustre de façon originale dans la peinture de genre à sujets galants qui rivalise avec ceux de Vermeer, de Metsu et de Ter Borch, les précédent même - tel le Couple amoureux dans un intérieur, chef-d'oeuvre du Mauritshuis de La Haye -, et dans de remarquables tableaux de famille proches de ceux de Thomas de Keyser, le grand portraitiste alors à la mode. Une riche diversité d'inspiration entre portraits d'ostentation plutôt mondains et aristocratiques, scènes de genre raffinées et bacchanales aux nudités appuyées et stylisées sur fond de paysage, compose avec une belle et forte unite de style : la suavité du coloris et le rendu somptueux et caressant des étoffes soyeuses relient la Magdalena Stockmans de Cologne au Zorobabel d'Orléans ; une splendide plénitude de clarté caresse et modèle, sous une franche lumière blonde, les parfaites nudités des intemporelles Diane et Callisto. La délicatesse des fonds de paysage est commune aux scènes de genre, aux fables...

Très bel exemplaire
