Providing a richly illustrated narrative of the Netherlandish artist's life and art, Marisa Anne Bass shows how Gossart's paintings were part of a larger cultural effort in the Netherlands to assert the region's ancient heritage as distinct from the antiquity and presumed cultural hegemony of Rome. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on Gossart's vibrant, monumental mythological nudes, the book challenges previous interpretations by arguing that Gossart and his patrons did not slavishly imitate Italian Renaissance models but instead sought to contest the idea that the Roman past gave the Italians a monopoly on antiquity. Drawing on many previously unused primary sources in Latin, Dutch, and French, \u003ci\u003eJan Gossart and the Invention of Netherlandish Antiquity\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fascinating new understanding of both the painter and the history of northern European art at large.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marisa Anne Bass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691169993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691169996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2017","brand":"Marisa Anne Bass","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44410900218111,"sku":"9780691169996","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1ea13e3-8ee8-4dd1-9242-9f1995946807.jpg?v=1697538191","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jan-gossart-and-the-invention-marisa-anne-bass-9780691169996","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
