Exhibitions have been devoted to 'the Late' Raphael, Tintoretto, Rembrandt, Goya, Turner, Manet, Gauguin, Monet, Matisse, and Pollock. Fresh research has been carried out into the work these artists produced in the twilight of their careers. This has led, in many cases, to surprising discoveries and a renewed appreciation of the late work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Final Painting\u003c\/i\u003e collects these fresh insights into 40 of the world's greatest painters and their last works in a highly readable book, beginning with Jan van Eyck and ending with Pablo Picasso. Besides the painters already mentioned, it includes Bellini, Titian, Caravaggio, El Greco, Rubens, Artemisia Gentileschi, Cézanne, Klimt, Renoir, Modigliani, Munch, Mondrian, Kahlo, and Hopper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePersistent myths and clichés are challenged: Van Gogh was not the solitary figure as so often suggested; the story behind Raphael's celebrated \u003ci\u003eLa Fornarina\u003c\/i\u003e was made up in the 19th century; the elderly Tintoretto did not paint many of his huge late canvases single-handedly; and Manet's last works are much more than the paintings of a terminal patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47537087774956,"sku":"9789493039391","price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/0a5a43cb3bfe3f113995858ff6f2e050.jpg?v=1776902375","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-final-painting-by-patrick-de-rynck-9789493039391","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
