Author: Iris Brahms (Ed.)Drawings on paper produced in colour or primed in colour play a prominent role in the art of drawing in the early modern period. Methodologically up-to-date and from varied perspective, this book offer fundamentally new results on image-theoretical questions of Evidentia as well as on art-technological studies.What influence did the single-coloured surface have on the lines, the use of colour and the modelling of light and shadow when the drawings were executed? What specific horizons of interpretation are associated with this drawing technique? For the first time, the contributions in the volume investigate these questions using case studies from the north and south. The focus is on works by Lorenzo Monaco, Benozzo Gozzoli, Hans Pleydenwurff, Hendrick Goltzius, Rembrandt, Govert Flinck, Nicolas Poussin, Caspar Fraisinger, among others. ISBN 9783110634495.
