1875 ART 1ed Flemish & French Pictures Paintings Rembrandt Greuze Meissonier
“Flemish and French Pictures” by 19th-century British art critic, Frederic George Stephens is an enlightening exploration into the fascinating realms of Flemish and French art. The book skillfully achieves a tripartite aim – presenting an engaging chronicle of the renowned schools of art represented in the title, providing a fair evaluation of each school’s distinguishing attributes, and contrasting these two great art schools as a whole.
Instead of presenting a collection of independent research, Stephens distills the well-established histories of the art schools, focusing on enriching the details and facilitating a deeper comprehension of artistic styles and distinctions among individual artists. The book celebrates the scholarly achievements in the field at the time, incorporating the most valuable parts of this branch of knowledge. A keen attempt to display the unique features of each art school and the influences of national idiosyncrasies and key individuals is evident throughout the book. The comprehensive history sketches aid the author’s objective to furnish a comparative analysis of the two schools.
This scarcely printed, highly rare first edition features an exquisite compilation of 16 paintings by 14 esteemed artists, providing visual exemplars for the reader. These include works by greats such as Carolus Duran, John Van Eyck, Hans Memlinc, Frank Hals, and Rembrandt among others. From intimate portraits like “Portrait of Madame Feydeau” to evocative scenes such as “A Halt by the Roadside,” the book offers an engaging journey through the evolution of Flemish and French art.
