《书目》(Booklist)书评
Michael Sweerts, a Flemish painter of portraits, genre scenes, and religious subjects, also directed an art academy in Rome, traveled in Europe and Asia, and spoke several languages. Almost completely forgotten after his death, he was rediscovered by art historians early in the twentieth century. This volume, the fruit of prodigious scholarship and the print companion to a touring exhibit originating at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, describes Sweerts' life and times, and reproduces roughly 50 of his paintings in full color, many of his prints, and work by several contemporaries. Containing much new information, it is sure to be the authoritative source on Sweerts for a long time to come. Known for his piety, Sweerts painted both rich and poor, always respected the humanity of his subjects, and never sentimentalized or idealized them, and his rendering of human anatomy comes from Greek and Roman statuary, which art students studied in those days. A welcome discovery, Sweerts' work bespeaks a gentle, generous spirit. VictorCassidy.

In this catalog of an exhibition held first at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam in 2002, Michael Sweerts (1618-64) finally receives the attention he has long deserved. The delicate and soulful paintings of this enigmatic artist were first rediscovered in a document found in 1882, then an introductory article was written on the artist in 1907, and finally an exhibit featuring Sweerts was held in 1958. This new monograph, organized by Guido Jansen and Peter Sutton, fills in the mysterious history of this neglected artist with the first complete examination of his life and art. In a series of essays by leading scholars of Flemish art, Sweerts's career, originating in Brussels, is traced through his work in Rome, where he can be seen not only as a pioneer of the Bamboccianti but also as a leading portraitist and printmaker. While in Rome, Sweerts received the title of cavaliere, thus confirming his importance in 17th-century Italy. Newly discovered archival documentation has clarified much of Sweerts's biography, and careful comparisons made with contemporary Italian, Dutch, and French artists reveal Sweerts's stylistic sources and highlight his uniquely moody and delicate yet powerful images. ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended.

This first monograph in English on 17th-century Dutch painter Sweerts (1624-64) accompanied a touring exhibit of his paintings in Amsterdam, San Francisco, and Hartford, CT, last year. Reminiscent of his contemporary Vermeer but much less well known today, Sweerts painted sensitive portraits, genre scenes, and religious paintings that invoke both the personal qualities of his subjects and the contrast of light and dark. Essays by prominent scholars discuss the artist's materials and methods, the fragmentary evidence about his life, Rome in the mid-1600s, and the acquisition of Sweerts paintings by American collections. Black-and-white reproductions accompanying the essays are generally too small and dark to be useful, but the 53 color illustrations of works in the exhibition are large and attractive. Although a wide audience can enjoy the reproductions, the text focuses on scholarly issues and uses obscure vocabulary such as aedicular and ekphrastic without definition. Recommended for large public libraries and specialized collections.-Kathryn Wekselman, M.L.n., Cincinnati (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
