Description

Using unpublished archival documents Snayers's topographical oeuvre is constructed and studied in detail. The author identifies and examines Snayers's artistic inventions based on the works of predecessors and colleagues. He reconstructs Snayers's patronage network on the basis of archival documents and the canvases themselves. New light is shed on one of his most important commissions, thanks to unpublished correspondence. By analyzing a wide range of previously unpublished archival documents on the painter as well as his works of art and patrons, this book restores Peter Snayers's oeuvre.
