Thinking Bodies-Shaping Hands: Handeling in Art and Theory of the Late Rembrandtists (Studies in Netherlandish Art and Cultural History; Volume 15) by Yannis Hadjinicolaou - 2019

BRILL, 2019. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. By Rembrantist, Hadjinicolaou refers to painters who followed in Rembrandt's footsteps productively rather than blindly, who fostered and constantly renewed his manner of painting, and so preserved the tradition. He illuminates the unprecedented painting practices of these artists and reconstructs their theory of painting, which he has found to be surprisingly little studied. He covers between formal and stylistic diversity: handeling in the art of the late Rembrandtists, primacy of the hand, art materials, facets of handling the paint, the iconicity of action, and proximity and distance.
