The Life of Lambert Lombard (1565); and Effigies of Several Famous Painters from the Low Countries (1572): Texts & Documents
Autor Dominicus Lampsonius Editat de Edward H. Wouk Traducere de Helen, E.B. Dalton, Julene Abad Del Vecchioen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 ian 2022
Dominicus Lampsonius’s The Life of Lambert Lombard (1565) is the earliest published biography of a Netherlandish artist. This neo-Latin account of the life of the painter, architect, and draftsman Lambert Lombard of Liège offers a theoretical exposition on the nature and ideal practice of Netherlandish art, emphasizing Lombard’s intellectual curiosity, interest in antiquity, attentive study of the human body, and exemplary generosity as a teacher.
This volume offers the first English edition of The Life of Lambert Lombard, complemented by a new translation of the inscriptions Lampsonius composed to accompany the Effigies of Several Famous Painters from the Low Countries (1572), a cycle of twenty-three engraved portraits of Netherlandish artists developed in collaboration with the print publisher Hieronymus Cock.
Together, The Life of Lambert Lombard and the Effigies established frameworks for a distinctly Netherlandish history of art. Responding to a growing sense of Netherlandish cultural and political identity on the eve of the Dutch Revolt, these texts proposed a critical alternative to Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Artists and its Italian model of art historical development, celebrating local ingenuity and skill. They remain the starting point for any history of the northern Renaissance.

Recenzii
“In
this
book,
Edward
Wouk
generously
makes
available
in
English
translation
two
foundational
works
in
the
literature
of
Netherlandish
art.
Beyond
this,
he
provides
a
meticulously
documented
and
rigorously
argued
introduction
that
significantly
advances
the
revolution
in
the
understanding
of
elite
art
in
the
sixteenth-century
Netherlands
that
has
taken
place
since
the
publication
of
Walter
Melion’s Picturing
the
Netherlandish
Canon in
1991.
The
book
really
is
essential
reading
for
everyone
seriously
interested
in
this
topic.”
—Joanna Woodall, The Courtauld Institute of Art
“Readers of this superb volume, which provides an introduction to Dominicus Lampsonius and English translations of two of his theoretical texts, will benefit from Edward Wouk’s remarkable erudition, clarity, and insights into European art. Presenting debates about the stakes that gave rise to Lampsonius’s publications, Wouk weaves together encounters, collaborations, and connections drawn from letters, texts, stories, language, and the graphic arts. This nuanced retelling of artistic engagement with antiquity, local traditions, and practices on both sides of the Alps creates a dynamic picture of trans-European exchanges, processes of translation, and Netherlandish inventiveness.”
—Bronwen Wilson, Professor of Renaissance and Early Modern Art, UCLA
“Begun as a long-distance conversation with Vasari, whose Lives of the Artists established the modern historiography of art with Italy as its origin and center, Dominicus Lampsonius’s writings offer a vital alternative: a decentering counter-history of artistic ideas, practices, techniques and developments flourishing north of the Alps. Edward Wouk’s clear and copiously annotated translations of Lampsonius's elusive texts will greatly expand our understanding of the European tradition.”

“If all of the ideas described here seem diffuse, even daunting, that is because they are. . . . Wouk handles these complexities with such confident concision that readers will oscillate between feeling reassured and compelled to read some passages again. . . . One hopes for a more extensive publication from Wouk, wherein Lombard’s painted oeuvre can receive sharper focus.”
“In reading [this text], we achieve an insight into the varieties and complexities of the art found in Italy and the Low Countries during the sixteenth century.”
“Wouk’s volume makes us recognize many significant and intriguing aspects of Lampsonius’s writings.”
