Veldman (Ilja Maria), born 1944; Hoyle (Michael), translator

(30.5 cm), 176 pp., 105 text illustrations. Publisher’s cloth, pictorial dust jacket. - A collection of eight essays, concerned primarily with Heemskerck’s prints and their sources, particularly the influence of the Dutch theologian and moral philosopher Dirck Volkertsz Coornhert, who provided Heemskerck with a large number of didactic, moralistic subjects. “Veldman’s book is undoubtedly one of the best studies so far on the connection between humanism and sixteenth-century Netherlandish art… The book is required in the library of anyone studying Northern European culture in the time” (from a review by Jeremy D. Bangs, in Quaerendo, volume 8, 1978, pp.62-65). ¶ Light shelf-wear.
