$a This handbook for artists was first published in 1604. The title-plate of this edition carries the publication-date of 1618; some divisional title-pages have imprints with dates of 1616 or 1617; a colophon has the date of 1616. One plate (the portrait of Iacobus de Geyn) carries the date of 1610. The text is in six sections: [1] the 'Grondt der ... Schilderconst', a poem on the theory of painting; [2] 'Leven van de antieke schilders', or lives of ancient painters; [3] 'Leven der Italiaensche schilders', or lives of Italian painters, including Mander's contemporaries; [4] 'Leven der Nederlandtsche ... Schilders', on Dutch and German painters (including contemporaries) (a primary source of information for many artists); [5] an interpretation of the symbolism of Ovid's 'Metamorphoses'; [6] an iconography of allegoric figures. The plates show portraits of artists - most of them signed by 'Hh', that is Hendrik Hondius (who in 1610 published a series of 68 portraits as Pictorum aliquot celebrium praecipue Germaniae inferioris effigies). |
| 561 | # | # | $a [First copy] The dedication page is inscribed in ink, 'George Clausen June 1872'. The front loose endpaper carries a letter from 61, Carlton Hill, N.W. written in ink, 'Dec 3rd - 08. Dear Yeames, Here is "Van Mander's Schilder-Boek" - which I hope the Royal Academy will do me the honour of accepting, as a gift to the Library: as it is one of the old authorities it may be useful there. - Sincerely yours George Clausen'. |

$a Both Royal Academy copies are imperfect. The first copy contains only the title-plate and signatures *ij, *4-[8], **[i-viii], A[1-8], B[1-8], C[1-8], i.e. folios [14], 22, [2], carrying the text of Den Grondt der edel vry Schilderconst, preceded by its dedic., Voor-Reden and poems and followed by its Tafel. The second copy omits the text relating to the ancient painters (folios 1-25) and binds the texts on the Metamorphoses and allegoric representation at the beginning of the book. Some plates are scattered through the text; others are bunched together. The plates carry no plate-numbers, but in this copy they have been numbered by hand in ink, bottom left - but this numbering is not the same as the order in which they are bound in. |
