(Davaco Collection). - New copy !!Reprint of the original edition Leiden, 1642. - - One of the first to borrow from Junius was Ph. Angel. His Lof der Schilderkonst (In Praise of Painting) is the text of a speech given on St.Luke's Day, 1641. His purpose seems to have been to encourage the appreciation of painting, which the general public in the north still regarded as handwork. Like Junius, Angel sets an ideal before his readers, but since he had no classical education he is closer to the practise of his own time. While Junius proposes an ideal of beauty.
