In the 16th and 17th centuries Italy acted like a magnet to artists
from Northern Europe. They went to draw the classical monuments and
the landscape, and to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the
Renaissance. Back in the Low Countries, they used the impressions
they had absorbed during their stay in the south in their paintings,
drawings, and prints. Drawn to Warmth presents the first
representative survey of drawings by these artists. An account of
their travels and their adventures in Italy accompanies illustrations
of many of the works they made there. There are examples by Paul
Bril, Cornelis Poelenburch, Jan Aselijn, Jan Both, among others. Many
of these drawings appear in print for the first time. The book also
looks at a number of artists who did not themselves go to Italy, but
who were inspired by their more widely traveled colleagues in the
Netherlands.
