De genialiteit van Vlaams grootmeester Anton van Dyck belicht: catalogus bij toptentoonstelling in Genua

Dit boek vertelt het fascinerende verhaal van Anton van Dyck, een van de grote meesters van de zeventiende eeuw. Drie bruisende steden hebben zijn leven en kunst gevormd: Antwerpen, Genua en Londen. Nieuw bronmateriaal biedt een frisse kijk op Van Dycks oeuvre tegen de achtergrond van een door crises geteisterd Europa.

Zestig buitengewone schilderijen illustreren zijn gevoelige, expressieve en indringende stijl, vastgelegd in rijk beeldmateriaal en verbluffende details. Als visionair kunstenaar transformeerde Van Dyck westerse opvattingen over identiteit en emotionele verbondenheid, op een manier die tot op de dag van vandaag relevant blijft.
