Unieke kijk op de 'tronies' in de kunst uit de Nederlanden

Onze fascinatie voor gezichten is van alle tijden en culturen. Krasse koppen – Rubens, Rembrandt en Vermeer belicht een merkwaardig genre in de schilderkunst dat nog maar weinig aandacht kreeg: de zogenaamde tronies, die vooral een gevoel of karaktertrek verbeeldden. Bij deze ‘koppen’ deed de identiteit van het model er niet toe, waardoor de schilder vrijuit zijn gang kon gaan. De grootste meesters tekenden en...

In een klein museum in Parijs hangt een reeks van zes wandtapijten: De Dame met de Eenhoorn. Deze middeleeuwse schat prikkelt al eeuwenlang de verbeelding.

figures and scenes for contemplation.

With Water on Water, the last of three publications, Dutch artist Joost de Jonge brings his decade-long project, “Painted Poetry & Painterly Poetics – an ekphrastic notion,” to a thunderous conclusion.
