Product Description
The Ince Hall Virgin and Child is a small painting that was acquired by the Felton Bequest for the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne in 1922. Since its discovery by Gustav Friedrich Waagen in 1850 it had been attributed to the leading Renaissance artist Jan van Eyck, and was regarded around the world as a gem of early Netherlandish painting. However, between 1956 and 1959 it was subject to a technical and art historical re-appraisal by European experts in the re-classification of the work as a copy after a lost original by Van Eyck, and possibly a forgery. This is the first comprehensive review of the scientific and art historical analysis to be published since the 1950s. It re-examines the autograph status of the work, to correct the inaccuracies and inconsistencies of its analysis, to emphasise the ambiguous nature of much of the evidence cited to sustain the de-attribution, and to present material that can be used to argue for the authenticity of the painting. More broadly, this book also sheds light on the methodologies of connoisseurship, the materials and techniques of early Netherlandish painting, and the iconography of Jan van Eyck. ... Read more

Excerpt: Jan van Eyck or Johannes de Eyck (Dutch pronunciation: ; before c. 1395 before July 9, 1441) was a Flemish painter active in Bruges and considered one of the best Northern European painters of the 15th century. There is a common misconception, which dates back to the sixteenth-century Vite of the Tuscan artist and biographer Giorgio Vasari, that Jan van Eyck invented oil painting. Oil painting as a technique for painting wood statues and other objects is much older, and Theophilus (Roger of Helmarshausen?) clearly gives instructions for oil-based painting in his treatise, On Divers Arts, written in 1125. It is however true that the van Eyck brothers were among the earliest Early Netherlandish painters to use it for very detailed panel paintings, and that they achieved new and remarkable effects through the use of glazes, wet-on-wet and other techniques. Thus, because of his early mastery of the technique, he was traditionally known as t...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=46381 ... Read more

Product Description
A group of scholars studied the various manifestations of public space by investigating the example of the booming central African capitals Brazzaville and Kinshasa. BRAzzaville-KINshasa, viewed as one metropolis in this study, became the ideal lens to understand the urban landscape. These visual indicators of urban identity are collected and recorded on maps of the city. BRAKIN is a research project of the Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht, initiated and directed by Wim Cuyvers, with Tina Clausmeyer, Dirk Pauwels, and Kristien Van den Brande as researchers. ...

A good book with some faults
I just got this book, so I did not read it completely, just parts from it. Thought that a basic review would be good, since this will be the first :). Let's start then.

The book looks nice at a first look. It really is... however, soon you will see some mistakes. I would like to start with them. The most serious problem for me are the 'blind maps'. The authors made a lot of maps about interesting topics, like the diamond trade. They marked all built infrastructure on a map... but that map has completely nothing more. No roads, no labels nor streets... what you can see is two completely blank pages with black circles on it (those are the built infrastructures). And you have absolutely no idea where are they in the city... this is a serious fault. On this level of documentary, the minimum required quality is to make good maps, once they put them into the book. However, on the first 85 pages we are getting pretty nice coloured maps too, some of them are quite big. But all the blind maps are there in this 85, and you will see some of them once more in the middle of the book. So you will see them twice... this has completely no sense.

I found an other problem too. This is not so annoying as the first was, but still a problem. We have small pictures about the city, buildings, people. So actually you are getting a pretty good overview, I really like this. What I don't like is when you have a page with 10 pictures on it, and 1-2 are 'missing'. The explanation is there, so you can read what should be on the picture, but it is blank, you are getting nothing. I found around 10 pictures like this, all of them has the explanation 'not existent'. So probably it has been demolished, closed and so on... but anyway, if I cannot show something to the readers, then I'm not putting it into the gallery part of the book and definitely not adding a comment under it. It makes no sense.

The third problem is a very interesting one. We can read that the language of this book is english. Well, I found english, french and german sentences inside. There are two sections where you can read everyting only on french: the first is the comments part from street children, the other one is some basic description about public buildings, like the post office. There are no english translation for these. The garman part of the book is a complete mistery for me, since I'm not speaking german, so could not understood what's there. Please note that we are talking about only 2-3 pages, so it is definitely not much.

Because of these faults, I gave only 3 as a rating. 3.5 would be my true vote though. 4 is definitely too much, 3 is too low.

About the positive things :), well this book will give you a lot of enjoyable moments. If you like Congo, you will like this book too. These pictures inside are unique ones, you cannot find anything like this on the net. UN forces and buildings, city people, food and market, houses are all on the photos. Some of them are one page large, so you can examine all small details too. There is a comment at every picture, so you will know what are you watching. The book has a story part too, with full of text to read. That is interesting also.


Final overview: You should buy this book if you want to know something more about these two cities. You will get a pretty nice gallery with stories too.
Do not buy it, if you never heard about Congo. In this case you will not enjoy it. I would say some kind of african love is mandatory for a visible collection like this. ... Read more
