Retail price: EUR 220,00 The present volume is the second of three devoted to the many copies and adaptations that Rubens made from Italian art, and it is dominated by his interest in the work of artists active in Venice during the sixteenth century. Rubens, when a mature master, decided to make a number of full-size painted replicas of works by Titian that he saw on his travels to Madrid and London. Perhaps surprisingly, he made far fewer copies after the works of Titian's contemporaries, Tintoretto and Veronese, but, in addition, the volume examines his interest in the work of other masters active in North Italy at this time, notably Andrea Mantegna, Antonio da Correggio, and Girolamo Francesco Parmigianino. It is Rubens's interest in Titian, however, that has been seen as crucial for art in the Early Modern period, a topic that has attracted the attention of critics and art historians from the seventeenth century to the present day. Review "Although the catalogue raisonné as on art-historical genre is no longer fashionable ., there could be no better demonstration of its lasting value than the thorough assessment of the art of Rubens found in these volumes." (K. De Clippel, in: The Burlington Magazine, vol. 154, n° 1307, February 2012, p.126) "More than 50 paintings, drawings and retouchings are meticulously described by Jeremy Wood in a survey that reminds us yet again how totally immersed Rubens was in the work of predecessors and contemporaries." (Theodore K. Rabb, in: The Art Newspaper, No. 229, November 2011, p. 83) Size: 180 X265 Mm.
