Dirck Van Baburen Etc With A Catalogue Raisonne Of His Works And With Reproductions

"Like Titian, whom he admired and whose artistic legacy he transformed and handed on, Van Dyck was as gifted with religious and mythological subjects as he was with portraits. He pioneered means of expressing personal piety and intimacy that would dominate later-seventeenth- and eighteenth-century religious art throughout Catholic Europe. In his history paintings he evolved a style which owed much to Titian but also foreshadowed the rococo painters of the eighteenth century." "This catalogue raisonne includes a reproduction of every known authentic painting by the artist, the provenance and the significant facts and literature on each."--BOOK JACKET.
