16 essays by a group of internationally acclaimed authors help
contribute to a clearer perception of the complex facets of Jacob
Jordaens' oeuvre -- and moreover to distinguish it from the works
of Rubens, van Dyck, and his contemporaries. The title "Genius of
Grand Scale" refers to the spectrum from history to genre as well
as to Jordaens' preference for large formats. The greatness of the
artist Jacob Jordaens needs to be emphasized, since even though he
outlived Rubens for four whole decades, he was never able to escape
from under his shadow. By reference to iconographic and
iconological studies, single works are identified and presented in
a broad review and the long, in many aspects fragmentary reception
of his artistic work also forms a large part of the interpretations
presented here. Furthermore, technical examinations of paintings
assist in defining more precisely how they were generated.This
overdue volume presents essential reading for anyone interested in
Jacob Jordaens.
