DOWNLOAD EBOOKA brand-new perspective on early modern art and its relationship with nature as reflected in this moving account of overlooked artistic genius Adam Elsheimer, by an outstanding writer and critic. Seventeenth-century Europe swirled with conjectures and debates over what was real and what constituted “nature,” currents that would soon gather force to form modern science. Natural Light deliberates on the era’s uncertainties, as distilled in the work of long underappreciated artist Adam Elsheimer (1578–1610), a native of Frankfurt who settled in Rome and whose diminutive and mysterious narrative compositions related figures to landscape in new ways, projecting unfamiliar visions of space at a time when Caravaggio was polarizing audiences with his radical altarpieces and early modern scientists were starting to turn to the new “world system” of Galileo. His visual inventions influenced many famous artists—including Rembrandt van Rijn, Claude Lorrain, and Nicolas Poussin. Julian Bell guides the reader through key Elsheimer artworks, examining the contexts behind them before exploring the new imaginative thoughts that opened up in their wake. He also explores the experiences of Elsheimer and other Northern artists in the literary, artistic, and scientific culture of 1600s Rome. Although his life was tragically short, Elsheimer’s legacy endured and prints of his work were widely spread throughout Europe, with his influence extending as far as the Indian subcontinent.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBorn in Frankfurt, Germany, Adam Elsheimer (1578-1610) lived and worked in Rome from 1600 to 1610. While artists like Caravaggio, Carracci and Rubens laid the foundations of the Baroque style, Elsheimer contributed with his main medium: miniatures painted on copper. This volume collects contributions to a conference on Adam Elsheimer that deal with his use of artistic traditions, his place within the Roman artistic scene, his connection to the emerging natural sciences, and that trace the reception of his works. German text.
