With thematic chapters and a lively narrative thread, this book offers an exceptional introduction to Dutch and Flenish srawing during the long seventeenth century. Victoria Sancho Lobis discusses drawing's many roles in artistic training, its function in the production of works in other media, and its emergence as a medium in its own right. Beautifully illustrated with more than 200 examples by artists including Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, Hendrick Goltzius, Gerrit von Honthorst, and Jacques de Gheyn II, this publication also features a brief history of Dutch paperworking and watermarks. Paying careful attention to materials and techniques, and informed by recent scientific discoveries, Lobis explains how to look at these drawings as records of experimentation and skill, true windows into the artist's mind.
