A Study Of The Iconography Of Jusepe De Riberas Madonna With Child And Saint Bruno

An illustrated study of Spanish painter Jusepe de Ribera.

Explores the representation of highly realistic and violent subjects in the paintings, prints and drawings of Jusepe de Ribera (1591-1652).

The Getty Museum's collection of drawings was begun in 1981 with the purchase of a Rembrandt nude and has since become an important repository of European works from the fifteenth through the nineteenth century. As in the first volume devoted to the collection (published in 1988 in English and Italian editions), the text is here organized first by national school, then alphabetically by artist, with individual works arranged chronologically. For each drawing, the authors provide a discussion of the work's style, dating, iconography, and relationship to other works, as well as provenance and a complete bibliography.
