FROM SCRIBBLE TO CARTOON : Drawings from Bruegel to Rubens in Flemish Collections

Vlaamse tekeningen uit de 16de en 17de eeuw behoren tot de hoogtepunten van de westerse kunstgeschiedenis. Kunstenaars maakten tekeningen als ontwerp voor andere kunstwerken, om afzonderlijke motieven te bestuderen, om herinneringen vast te leggen, om een repertorium van studiemateriaal aan te leggen. Soms waren tekeningen ook autonome kunstwerken. In From Scribble to Cartoon staan functies, technieken en materialen van de tekenkunst centraal. De lezer wordt uitgedaagd om voorbij het afgebeelde onderwerp te kijken naar het doel dat de tekeningen dienden en waarom de kunstenaar daarbij koos voor bepaalde materialen, technieken, formaat en afmetingen. Dat alles aan de hand van een ruime selectie van 85 meestertekeningen bewaard in de verzamelingen van het Museum Plantin-Moretus en andere Vlaamse collecties. Topstukken van grootmeesters als Bruegel, Pieter Coecke van Aelst, Cornelis Floris, Rubens, Van Dyck, Jordaens, Jan Fijt passeren de revue maar evenzeer de recent ontdekte en zeldzame tekeningen van Paul Vredeman de Vries en werken van Joris Hoefnagel, Hendrick van Balen en Johannes Stradanus, of het verbluffende schetsboekje van de twaalfjarige Rubens, het tien meter lange Panorama van Zeeland van Anthonis van den Wijngaerde en de uiterst zeldzame Itali -schetsboekjes van de beeldhouwer Pieter Verbruggen. De publicatie is het resultaat van het jarenlange onderzoek van talrijke specialisten in de Vlaamse tekenkunst. Ze verschijnt naar aanleiding van de gelijknamige tentoonstelling in Antwerpen en Oxford met de steun van The Paper Project, een initiatief van the Getty Foundation. *** A selection of 85 Flemish drawings gives an astonishing and representative overview of the art of drawing in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The publication focusses on the drawings subjects and compositions but also on how and why they were created and why an artist chose specific materials, techniques, formats and even sizes. It provides a framework to allow to see drawings in the functional context for which they were created. Renowned specialists in Flemish drawing discuss rare artworks by famous draughtsmen as Frans Floris, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, Jacques Jordaens, Otto van Veen, Jan Fijt but also hidden treasures such as the 10 meters long Panorama of Zeeland by Antoon van den Wijngaerde, a sketchbook of the 12 years old Rubens, recently discovered drawings by Hans Vredeman de Vries, the extremely rare Italy-sketchbooks by the sculptor Pieter Verbruggen and a newly discovered book-illustration design by Rubens for the Plantin Press.

BRUEGEL TO RUBENS : GREAT FLEMISH DRAWINGS
, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2024 Softcover, 244 pages, ENG. edition; 280 x 220 mm, NEW , 180 colored illustrations / 10 b/w. ISBN 9781910807590.
Many of the drawings coming from Antwerp are registered on the Flemish Government's Masterpieces List and will not be shown again for the next five to ten years to protect them from fading 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, meticulously drawn 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 drawings by Rubens will also be included, a design for a book-illustration on optics and an anatomical study of three legs. This catalogue will accompany the Bruegel to Rubens exhibition held at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford between 22 March and 23 June 2024. Through a selection of over 100 world-class drawings created by Flemish artists in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, an insightful and comprehensive overview will be given into how these drawn sheets were used as part of artistic practice, within or beyond the artist's studio. By revealing the drawings' function, rather than on their attribution or iconography, these sheets will become more fully understood through the eyes of contemporary readers. Identifying how and why these sheets were created will render these artworks more accessible to a wider audience. The three main essays will 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. Each essay will discuss the relevant works within their functional context and compared with other related objects. Introductory chapters will focus on what precisely can be considered a drawing, including its materials, media and techniques, in addition to an attempt to explain the notion of Flanders and Flemish art. Emphasis will be placed throughout the catalogue on how Flemish artists collaborated in creating the most astonishing artworks of their time, unveiling their networks and friendships, as well as their travels across Europe, revealing their international importance. The exhibition is a partnership with the Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp and will bring together for the first time the most stunning drawings from both the Ashmolean and the Plantin-Moretus collections, in addition to further loans from renowned Antwerp and Oxford institutions like the Rubenshuis and Christ Church Picture Gallery. Many of the sheets coming from Antwerp are registered on the Flemish Government's Masterpieces List and will not be shown again for the next five to ten years to protect them from fading. Prominent artists featured in this catalogue include Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck, and Jacques Jordaens, among many others.
