Klappentext A pillar of the Utrecht community! Wtewael was engaged in business! religion! and politics as well as art. He adopted the exotic mannerist style! full of artifice and inventive manipulation! and continued to be fascinated by the challenge of creating sophisticated variations well into his maturity! when other Dutch artists had turned to naturalism. This book explores Wtewael's amazingly refined and detailed paintings and drawings! shedding light on his reputation! his life! and the conflicted times--marked by iconoclasm and strife--in which he thrived. Zusammenfassung "The exhibition is organized by the Centraal Museum Utrecht; the National Gallery of Art, Washington; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation."--Title page verso.
