‎Bruegel to Rubens: Great Flemish Drawings‎

‎van Camp, An: Bruegel to Rubens: Great Flemish Drawings. Exhibition: Oxford, Ashmolean Museum, 2024. 244 pages with 190 illustrations: 180 colour & 10 black & white. Paperback. 28x22cms. Catalogue of the exhibition held at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, in collaboration with the Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp, Rubenshuis and Christ Church Picture Gallery. Presenting over 100 drawings created by Flemish artists in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the three main essays each deal with one of the principal functions of drawings at the time: studies (copies and sketches), designs for other artworks (paintings, prints, tapestries, metalwork, stained glass, sculpture and architecture), and finally the independent drawings. Highlights will include a sketchbook in which a young Rubens has copied Holbein's Dance of Death woodcuts, intricate pen and ink drawings by Pieter Bruegel, miniatures by Joris Hoefnagel, portrait studies by Anthony van Dyck, and a rare survival of a friendship album containing numerous drawings and poems dedicated to its owner. Two recently discovered sheets by Rubens will also be included, a design for a book-illustration on optics and an anatomical study of three legs.‎

‎Pieter Bruegel the Elder is best known for his peasant and winter scenes, archetypal images of the Low Countries, but his masterpieces always manage to transcend the local. A defining element in his hybrid landscapes are the Alpine rock formations he observed on his way to or return from Italy. Bruegel travelled to the peninsula around 1552, and his sojourn lasted about two years. Though remarkably little of his artistic production in Italy has been preserved, later compositions demonstrate that Bruegel must have journeyed to Rome, and then as far as Naples and Messina. The purpose of this book is to reassess Bruegel?s encounter with Italy within a broad cultural-historical context and in light of recent scholarship. Communication between Italy and the Low Countries was intense during Bruegel?s time, as were artistic, political, and economic relations. While Italo-Netherlandish ties interconnected Bruegel?s world on multiple levels, Bruegel?s relationship with Italy has mostly been viewed from the perspective of his individual travels. It has often been observed that, unlike many of his fellow artist-travellers, no copies after antique or modern Italian artworks by his hand are known, and that the impact of Bruegel?s encounter with Italy is not immediately evident from his work. Bruegel and Italy/Bruegel e l?Italia rephrases this question: Why, then, Bruegel did travel to Italy? To formulate potential answers, its authors look not only at the master and his work but also consider the cultural and artistic exchange between Italy and the Low Countries before, during, and following Bruegel?s Italian travels. In doing so, they trace the conditions, traditions, and networks that shaped and motivated Bruegel?s dialogue with Italy, opening new avenues in the study of this notoriously under-documented master.‎
