Jacob Jordaens was one of three Flemish Baroque painters; along with Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck; to bring prestige to the Antwerp school of painting. Like Rubens; Jordaens painted altarpieces; mythological; and allegorical scenes; and after 1640mdash;the year Rubens died mdash; he was the most important painter in Antwerp for large-scale commissions and the status of his patrons increased in general. Besides a large output of monumental oil paintings he was a prolific tapestry designer; a career that reflects his early training as a "watercolor" painter. Jordaens importance can also be seen by his number of pupils; the Guild of St. Luke records fifteen official pupils from 1621 to 1667; but six others were recorded as pupils in court documents and not the Guild records; so it is probable that he had more students than officially recorded. Among them were his cousin and his son Jacob.

A couple of the songs could have been transposed into an easier key to play and avoid the sharps and flats.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not a great song selectionBy Matt GalbraithThe reviews warned me but I didnt listen.

Excellent carol book for guitar.By Bill WallerThis is the only Christmas book I have found that not only has a large number of songs; but also. Has them arranged monkeys that my students can play. This is a great songbook for scrolling whether in the kindle version or the book format I own both.
