Book Description
De Witt offers a detailed biography based on a thorough review of the documentary evidence. He traces Van Noordt's origins back to a prominent musical family, details his artistic development under the guidance of prominent Amsterdam painter Jacob Adriaensz Backer, and reveals his synthesis of the styles of the two dominant Netherlandish artists, Rubens and Rembrandt. Using a systematic analysis of technique, manner, and approach to form, de Witt proves that over half the paintings and drawings presently attributed to Van Noordt are not his work - virtually recasting the accomplishments of an artist whose vibrant, often daring works challenge our concept of seventeenth-century Dutch art.

From Criminal to Courtier

Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9789004123694
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 728
Book Description
At once military, social and art history, this book elucidates various visual media, much of it little known, that denounce military cruelty in the Netherlands of the 16th and 17th century. This unique Netherlands specialty contrasts with Rubens' glorification of war, and its justification in patriotic siege prints, Scipio Africanus, and the "courtiers" of the civic guard groups and Ter Borch.

The Ashgate Research Companion to Dutch Art of the Seventeenth Century
Author: Wayne Franits
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135154621X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 599
Book Description
Despite the tremendous number of studies produced annually in the field of Dutch art over the last 30 years or so, and the strong contemporary market for works by Dutch masters of the period as well as the public's ongoing fascination with some of its most beloved painters, until now there has been no comprehensive study assessing the state of research in the field. As the first study of its kind, this book is a useful resource for scholars and advanced students of seventeenth-century Dutch art, and also serves as a springboard for further research. Its 19 chapters, divided into three sections and written by a team of internationally renowned art historians, address a wide variety of topics, ranging from those that might be considered "traditional" to others that have only drawn scholarly attention comparatively recently.

Jacob Campo Weyerman and his Collection of Artists’ Biographies
Author: Lyckle de Vries
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004421874
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
Weyerman’s collection of artists’ biographies (1729) is exceptional for three reasons. Firstly, he includes a great number of painters not mentioned elsewhere. Secondly, he does not limit his selection to good artists only; he also discusses failed painters and their abortive careers. Thirdly, he writes as an art critic who does not hesitate to pass judgments, sometimes severe, on his chosen subjects. In the process, Weyerman provides much information on the social and economic circumstances of art production. He found that a bohemian lifestyle was pernicious to a painter’s career, and argued that artists should live and think as merchants. In addition to analyzing Weyerman’s art critical terminology and his ideas on art theory, De Vries includes translations of two full chapters along with the original Dutch.

The Visible and the Invisible
Author: Daniela Hammer-Tugendhat
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110423014
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
The book addresses the scientific debates on Rembrandt, Metsu, Vermeer, and Hoogstraten that are currently taking place in art history and cultural studies. These focus mainly on the representation of gender difference, the relationship between text and image, and the emotional discourse. They are also an appeal for art history as a form of cultural studies that analyses the semantic potential of art within discursive and social contemporary practices. Dutch painting of the seventeenth century reflects its relationship to visible reality. It deals with ambiguities and contradictions. As an avant-garde artistic media, it also contributes to the emergence of a subjectivity towards the modern “bourgeois”. It discards subject matter from its traditional fixation with iconology and evokes different imaginations and semantizations - aspects that have not been sufficiently taken into account in previous research. The book is to be understood as an appeal for art history as a form of cultural science that analyses the semantic potential of art within discursive and social contemporary practices, and, at the same time, demonstrates its relevance today. Works by Rembrandt, Metsu, Vermeer, Hoogstraten, and others serve as exemplary case studies for addressing current debates in art history and cultural studies, such as representation of gender difference, relationship between text and image, and emotional discourse.

Dutch Figure Drawings from the Seventeenth Century
Author: Peter Schatborn
Publisher: Hague, Netherlands : Government Pub. Office
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
''Contrary to our conception of Italian and Spanish drawing, figure studies are not the first works that come to mind when one imagines the panorama of Dutch drawing from Holland's flourishing period. One might think first about the quiet landscapes of Van Goyen, river views under a high sky with a ferry-boat transporting travelers, or about cattle with a shepherd in the shade of a willow as depicted by Cuyp or Potter. Another will see Ruisdael's heavy trees, Molijn's views of dunes, or the woods of Waterloo. For many the images are lively scenes at a public house by Ostade or colorful ice scenes by Averkamp; and nobody will forget the butterflies and insects, and the shells and flowers which were famous in such great numbers throughout the entire 17th century. Studies of the human figure are, initially, somewhat out of the picture. And what about Rembrandt then? Yes, those who think about his drawn cruvre see directly next to his biblical compositions, landscapes, beggars, and Orientals, nude models posing at the border of light and dark, rapid and precise figure sketches with the reed pen, sometimes four or five together on one sheet. In the extremely versatile cruvre of Rembrandt we find our first ideas about Dutch drawings corrected and now figure drawings by other artists also appear in the field of vision. Through closer observation these drawings appear in always greater numbers, in ever richer variation of type, and in unexpected colorful nuances of drawing techniques and materials. Among them one recognizes here and there one among a selection of 'One Hundred Drawings from the Golden Age', or 'Seventeenth Century Drawings from Public Collections. By now they seem to be accompanied by a whole crowd of family members, several generations that are very different from one another, all of them silent and waiting to be brought to speak.''--

A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings
Author: J. Bruyn
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400908113
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 815
Book Description
Since the second half of the last century art historians, realizing that the image of Rembrandt’s work had become blurred with time, have attempted to redefine the artist’s significance both as a source of inspiration to other artists and as a great artist in his own right. In order to carry on the work started by previous generations, a group of leading Dutch art historians from the university and museum world joined forces in the late 1960s in order to study afresh the paintings usually ascribed to the artist. The researchers came together in the Rembrandt Research Project which was established to provide the art world with a new standard reference work which would serve the community of art historians for the nearby and long future. They examined the originals of all works attributed to Rembrandt taking full advantage of today’s sophisticated techniques including radiography, neutron activation autoradiography, dendrochronology and paint sample analysis — thereby gaining valuable insight into the genesis and condition of the paintings. The result of this meticulous research is laid down chronologically in the following Volumes: A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings, Volume I, which deals with works from Rembrandt’s early years in Leiden(1629-1631), published in 1982. A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings, Volume II, covering his first years in Amsterdam (1631-1634), published in 1986. THIS VOLUME: A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings, Volume III, goes into his later years of reputation (1635-1642), published in 1990. Each Volume consists of a number of Introductory Chapters as well as the full Catalogue of all paintings from the given time period attributed to Rembrandt. In this catalogue each painting is discussed and examined in a detailed way, comprising a descriptive, an interpretative and a documentary section. For the authenticity evaluation of the paintings three different categories are used to divide the works in: A. Paintings by Rembrandt, B. Paintings of which Rembrandt’s authorship cannot be positively either accepted or rejected, and C. Paintings of which Rembrandt’s authorship cannot be accepted. This volume (Volume III) contains 820 pages, starting of with three introductory chapters and discussing 86 paintings. In clear and accessible explanatory text all different paintings are discussed, larded with immaculate images of each painting. Details are shown where possible, as well as the results of modern day technical imaging. In this volume important paintings including the Night Watch are discussed.
