‎What is Quality in Art? " A Meditation Based on European Paintings from the 15th to the 18th Centuries"‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2024 Hardcover, 127 pages, ENG. edition, 220 x 145 mm, NEW, illustr. in color / b/w, Quadrichromie. ISBN 9789464941197.‎

‎ In-depth art-historical reflection on value judgments in art by one of Europe?s leading curators "This is a necessary book. The concept of quality is key in the history of art, and often little understood." ? Miguel Falomir, Director, Museo del Prado "That this is a legitimate question, even a necessary one, is argued by Vergara in a pleasurable manner, with the pace and attitude of a peripatetic thinker. There is something here that reminds one of Montaigne or Stendhal." ? Antonio Muñoz Molina, El País "This wonderful and wise book made me look at the artwork without intimidation or any confusion. It is a great pleasure to be guided by the experienced eye of Alejandro Vergara." ? Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Throughout history, human beings have excelled at creating art of the highest quality. Aristotle wrote that Homer ?surpassed all others? while Pliny the Elder referred to ?masterpieces that we never tire of admiring?. Velázquez distinguished between portraits ?made with art? and those that were not. What did they all mean exactly? And what do we mean when we say that a work of art is good, of high quality? This book is an attempt to explain this central question, which remains surprisingly unexplored. Alejandro Vergara-Sharp argues that ?a deep knowledge of the history of art provides us with the tools to approach this issue objectively?. He then invites the reader to share with him a Socratic voyage of discovery, gradually unveiling arguments that can assist us in understanding this elusive and crucial concept. Alejandro Vergara-Sharp (b. 1960, Washington DC) is Senior Curator of Flemish and Northern European Paintings at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid.‎

‎Patinir y la invension del paisaje / Patinir and the Invention of Landscape. Guia de la exposicion.‎

‎, Museo Nacional del Prado, 2007, 2007 Paperback, 55 paginas, Spanish text, Illustraciones,.240 X 190 X 10 mm ISBN 9788484801214.‎

‎Joachim Patinir, que trabajó en Amberes entre 1515 y 1524, fue el primer artista europeo especializado en pintar paisajes. Sus sorprendentes cuadros reflejan la curiosidad por el mundo natural que era característica del Renacimiento, y al mismo tiempo evocan la idea de un universo trascendente. Este documental aborda el enigma de un pintor cuya biografía apenas se conoce, y que revolucionó el mercado del arte e incluso el concepto mismo de la pintura en los albores del siglo XVI. Como conservador del Museo del Prado, Alejandro Vergara ha sido responsable de una gran exposición retrospectiva de su obra (3 de julio - 7 de octubre de 2007) que le ha llevado a buscar sus pinturas por diversos museos del mundo. A través de sus viajes y de diversos encuentros con expertos, Vergara investiga las claves de la pintura de Patinir. El análisis y la reflexión que se ofrecen al espectador le guían en el conocimiento de una bellísima y casi desconocida producción.‎

‎Rubens Painter of Sketches.‎

‎NL-, Boijmans van Beuningen, 2018 softcover, PB, 300 x 240 mm, 248 p, throughout colour illustrations, English edition. ISBN 9788484804710.‎

‎Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) is the most important painter of sketches in the history of European art. His Italian and Flemish predecessors had for the most part prepared their paintings by using drawings. Rubens transformed this process by systematically making sketches in colour, with oil paint, and nearly always on panel supports. Rubens's oil sketches were essentially a new form of painting. They brought together the design and colour stages of preliminary work. Because their purpose was to advance another work of art, oil sketches demanded less effort and time than the final products, and this translated into a less polished finish and smaller size. Rubens's sketches invite us to indulge in his art. They are powerful, vivid renditions of a variety of themes, from ancient history and mythology to religion, still life and portraits. They combine seriousness of purpose and a zest for life, transmitted through a masterly lightness of touch. Their small size and appearance of incompleteness draw us in and entice us to look closely. Their sheer quality is a great source of pleasure and learning. This catalogue presents detailed studies and superb illustrations of eighty-two of Rubens's most eloquent oil sketches, and two essays explaining the historical context from which they emerged, their salient features and how they were viewed by contemporaries. Friso Lammertse is Curator of Old Master Paintings and Sculpture at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. Alejandro Vergara Sharp is Senior Curator of Flemish and Northern European Paintings at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid.‎

‎Rubens Schilder van schetsen. ‎

‎, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen., Softcover, PB, 300 x 240 mm, 245 p, NL edition. nieuw, illustraties in kleur en z/w ISBN 9789069183046.‎

‎Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) is de belangrijkste schilder van olieverfschetsen in de Europese kunstgeschiedenis. Terwijl zijn voorgangers in Italie en Vlaanderen hun schilderijen voorbereidden met tekeningen in pen of krijt op papier, gebruikte hij hiervoor vrijwel altijd olieverf op paneel. Rubens' olieverfschetsen betekenden een nieuwe manier van schilderen. De traditioneel gescheiden stadia van het ontwerp en de invulling met kleur bracht hij samen in een voorbereidend werk. Deze snel opgezette, relatief kleine schetsen zijn veel minder ver uitgewerkt dan de erop gebaseerde grote schilderijen. De olieverfschetsen van Rubens nodigen uit om je onder te dompelen in zijn kunst. Het zijn krachtige verbeeldingen met een enorme varieteit aan thema's, van de klassieke geschiedenis en mythologie tot religieuze onderwerpen, stillevens en portretten. Uit de virtuoze losse penseeltoets spreekt zowel toewijding als levenslust. Hun kleine formaat en ogenschijnlijk onvoltooide staat verleiden je om ze van dichtbij te bestuderen. Van deze schetsen kun je zowel genieten als leren. Tweeentachtig van Rubens' mooiste olieverfschetsen worden in deze schitterend geillustreerde catalogus uitvoerig behandeld. Twee inleidende essays plaatsen de werken in hun historische context. ‎
