Jan van der HeydenPeter C. Sutton, Jonathan Bikker, Rijksmuseum (Netherlands), Bruce Museum of Arts and Science (Greenwich, Estados Unidos) Yale University Press, 01.01.2006 - 250 Seiten A remarkably versatile man, Jan van der Heyden (1637-1712) was the preeminent painter of cityscapes in the Netherlands and the first artist to capture all the beauty of the urban scene. Notwithstanding his achievements as an artist, Van der Heyden was even more famous in his own time as an inventor and engineer: he invented firefighting equipment that set the standard throughout Europe for two centuries, and he perfected the streetlamp. This is the first book in English devoted to Van der Heyden. It includes recent discoveries about his fascinating life and offers an introduction to his ravishing art. |
