PRIDE AND JOY. CHILDREN'S PORTRAITS IN THE NETHERLANDS 1500-1700.
Amsterdam/New York, Ludion/Harry N. Abrams, 2000 Bound, red cloth, illustrated dustjacket in colour, 210 x 305mm., 319pp., profoundly illustrated in colour and b/w. ISBN 0810967308.
The wonderful portraits of children that Dutch and Flemish artists painted in the late Renaissance and Baroque periods offer a fascinating look not just at the youngsters themselves - along with their clothes, toys, and pets - but also at the society in which they lived. The charming pictures in this unique book demonstrate that 500 years ago children were, as they are now, their parents' pride and joy. At first glance, these young people in their elaborate clothing and fancy headgear hardly resemble modern youth. But their fresh faces and vivid expressions transcend time. Superb full-page colorplates reproduce 85 of the best of these portraits - by famous and lesser-known artists alike - while essays by leading art and cultural historians set them in context. Countless parents have formal portraits or studio photographs made of their children. For them, as well as for art lovers and students, Pride and Joy should hold an irresistible fascination. New condition.
