ISBN: 9780892368488.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTruly collaborative paintings, that is, not simply mechanical but also conceptual co-productions, are rare in the history of art. This gorgeously illustrated catalogue explores just such an extraordinary partnership between Antwerps most eminent painters of the early seventeenth century, Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) and Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568-1625). Rubens and Brueghel executed approximately twenty-five works together between around 1597 and Brueghels death in 1625. Highly prized and sought after by collectors throughout Europe, the collaborative works of Rubens and Brueghel were distinguished by an extremely high level of quality, further enhanced by the status of the artists themselves.\nPublished to coincide with an exhibition at the Getty Museum to be held July 5 to September 24, 2006, the catalogue features twenty-six color plates of such Rubens\/Brueghel paintings as The Return from War, The Feast of Acheloüs, and Madonna and Child in a Garland of Flowers, along with Rubens and Brueghels collaborations with important contemporaries such as Frans Snyders and Hendrick van Balen. This is the first such publication to fully address and reproduce these works in depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44987181105205,"sku":"ByrdShop_0892368489","price":206.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780892368488_8c24a3a2-487d-4fe5-b42c-e4ef7b81d18e.jpg?v=1778942188","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/rubens-and-brueghel-a-working-friendship-9780892368488","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
