SynopsisThe six scenes that make up the Triumph of the Eucharist series by Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) are highlights of the Museo Nacional del Prado's collection of Remish paintings. This illustrated volume provides fresh insight into the history of the Eucharist series of paintings and tapestries and attests to Rubens' exhilarating art., The six glorious scenes that make up the Triumph of the Eucharist series by Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) are highlights of the Museo Nacional del Prado's superb collection of Flemish paintings. Completed in 1626, these brilliantly detailed sketches were painted at the behest of the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia in preparation for a series of monumental tapestries that are now considered among the finest made in Europe in the seventeenth century. Unfortunately, additions to the wooden supports, introduced after the paintings were created, made the panels considerably larger than Rubens intended and over time caused serious damage to the original sections. With the aid of the Getty Foundation's Panel Paintings Initiative, the panels have been restored and returned to their original dimensions by the Prado, and the magnificent oil sketches can once again be placed on public view. This lushly illustrated and illuminating volume provides new insight into the history of the Eucharist series of paintings and tapestries and attests to Rubens's exhilarating art. Spectacular Rubens is published on the occasion of an exhibition of the paintings, on view at the Museo Nacional del Prado from March 25 through June 29, 2014, and at the J. Paul Getty Museum from October 14, 2014, through January 4, 2015.

Great Book,Great Value for your Money.
This paperback book was very cheap,considering it was filled with color illustrations and many essays including one which dealt with the restoration of the paintings. It did not delve took much into the symbolism which these picture are loaded,but I could pretty much figure it out. Would I buy this book again? You bet! I learned a whole lot for a whole less.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
