It examines the artist’s paintings and career trajectory against\n  the background of his ceaseless pursuit of fame and fortune. Combining a\n  comprehensive analysis of Schalcken's artistic development and style with our\n  increasing biographical knowledge, it provides an authoritative overview of\n  Schalcken’s ample production as an artist. It also integrates his art into\n  the circumstances of his life in relation to his ambitious career\n  aspirations, exploring how economic conditions, a concomitantly oversaturated\n  art market, talent and ambition, demographics, and even sheer luck all played\n  a role in Schalcken’s great professional success. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince Schalcken’s art,\n  like that of all Dutch painters, provides a plethora of information about\n  seventeenth-century culture—its predilections, its prejudices, indeed, its\n  very mind-set—the book inevitably links his work to the broader\n  socio-cultural contexts in which it was created.","brand":"Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54254541701464,"sku":"9781848225466","price":77.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781848225466_3f47f54b-d1b5-488a-a9b8-9bcf6b90219b.jpg?v=1778549434","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/godefridus-schalcken","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
