Plekken Van Plezier
Plekken van plezier Open Monumentendagen 14 & 15 september Haarlem - 1 Welkom in Haarlem Op de voorkant van dit programmaboekje prijkt zwembad De Houtvaart. Een prachtige plek van plezier in onze monumentenstad Haarlem. Dit jaar staat dan ook de amusementswaarde van monumenten centraal tijdens Open Monumentendagen, met als thema ‘Plekken van plezier’. Naar welke monumentale plekken gingen en gaan mensen voor hun plezier? Ik vind het belangrijk dat onze monumenten bewaard en beschermd blijven. Dat ze bezocht en bewonderd kunnen worden en dat ze ons leren wie we zijn en waar we vandaan komen. Veel vrijwilligers werken actief mee aan de organisatie en uitvoering van de Open Monumentendagen; vanaf deze plek wil ik iedereen hartelijk bedanken voor hun inzet. In dit boekje vindt u informatie over bijzondere monumenten in Haarlem die hun deuren voor u openen. Een mooie selectie van monumenten voor ontspanning, vermaak en vrije tijd. Ik wens u een plezierig weekend vol verrassende ervaringen toe! Floor Roduner, wethouder Monumenten en Erfgoed - 2 Plekken van plezier Hoe hebben mensen zich in de loop der eeuwen vermaakt en welke monumenten zijn daarvoor het decor of het podium geweest? Deze vragen zijn leidend geweest bij het samenstellen van dit programma boekje. In Haarlem zijn volop historische ‘plekken van plezier’ te vinden zoals theaters, musea, parken, markten en sportclubs. Al in de middeleeuwen zijn er plekken in Haarlem aan te wijzen die centraal staan voor vermaak. Zo had Haarlem als eerste stad ter wereld een heus sportveld, de ‘Baen’. Hier werden vanaf de 14de eeuw Oudhollandse spellen gespeeld. Een andere bekende plek van plezier is de Haarlemmerhout, een immense groene oase aan de zuidkant van de stad. -
CORNELIS CORNELISZ. VAN HAARLEM (1562 – Haarlem – 1638)
CORNELIS CORNELISZ. VAN HAARLEM (1562 – Haarlem – 1638) _____________ The Last Supper Signed with monogram and dated 1636, lower centre On panel – 14¾ x 17⅜ ins (37.4 x 44.2 cm) Provenance: Private collection, United Kingdom since the early twentieth century VP 3691 The Last Supperi which Christ took with the disciples in Jerusalem before his arrest has been a popular theme in Christian art from the time of Leonardo. Cornelis van Haarlem sets the scene in a darkened room, lit only by candlelight. Christ is seated, with outstretched arms, at the centre of a long table, surrounded by the twelve apostles. The artist depicts the moment following Christ’s prediction that one among the assembled company will betray him. The drama focuses upon the reactions of the disciples, as they turn to one another, with gestures of surprise and disbelief. John can be identified as the apostle sitting in front of Christ who, as the gospel relates, ‘leaned back close to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”ii and Andrew, an old man with a forked beard, can be seen at the right-hand end of the table. Only Judas, recognisable by the purse of money he holds in his right handiii, turns away from the table and casts a shifty glance towards the viewer. The bread rolls on the table and the wine flagon held by the apostle on the right make reference to the sacrament of the eucharist. This previously unrecorded painting, dating from 1636, is a late work by Cornelis van Haarlem and is characteristic of the moderate classicism which informed his work from around 1600 onwards. -

Cartographic Styles and Discourse MAGIS Brugge: Visualizing Marcus Gerards’ 16th-century Map through its 21st-century Digitization Elien Vernackt * MAGIS Brugge Project Abstract Marcus Gerards delivered his town plan of Bruges in 1562 and managed to capture the imagination of viewers ever since. The 21st-century digitization project MAGIS Brugge, supported by the Flemish government, has helped to treat this map as a primary source worthy of examination itself, rather than as a decorative illustration for local history. A historical database was built on top of it, with the analytic method called ‘Digital Thematic Deconstruction.’ This enabled scholars to study formally overlooked details, like how it was that Gerards was able to balance the requirements of his patrons against his own needs as an artist and humanist Abstract Marcus Gerards slaagde erin om tot de verbeelding te blijven spreken sinds hij zijn plan van Brugge afwerkte in 1562. -

The Dutch Golden Age: a New Aurea Ætas? the Revival of a Myth in the Seventeenth-Century Republic Geneva, 31 May – 2 June 2018
The Dutch Golden Age: a new aurea ætas? The revival of a myth in the seventeenth-century Republic Geneva, 31 May – 2 June 2018 « ’T was in dien tyd de Gulde Eeuw voor de Konst, en de goude appelen (nu door akelige wegen en zweet naauw te vinden) dropen den Konstenaars van zelf in den mond » (‘This time was the Golden Age for Art, and the golden apples (now hardly to be found if by difficult roads and sweat) fell spontaneously in the mouths of Artists.’) Arnold Houbraken, De groote schouburgh der nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen, 1718-1721, vol. II, p. 237.1 In 1719, the painter Arnold Houbraken voiced his regret about the end of the prosperity that had reigned in the Dutch Republic around the middle of the seventeenth century. He indicates this period as especially favorable to artists and speaks of a ‘golden age for art’ (Gulde Eeuw voor de Konst). But what exactly was Houbraken talking about? The word eeuw is ambiguous: it could refer to the length of a century as well as to an undetermined period, relatively long and historically undefined. In fact, since the sixteenth century, the expression gulde(n) eeuw or goude(n) eeuw referred to two separate realities as they can be distinguished today:2 the ‘golden century’, that is to say a period that is part of history; and the ‘golden age’, a mythical epoch under the reign of Saturn, during which men and women lived like gods, were loved by them, and enjoyed peace and happiness and harmony with nature. -
The Institution of the Rosary. Establishing the Context for A
Klara H. Broekhuijsen The Institution of the Rosary. Establishing the context for a recently discovered copy after a lost panel by Geertgen tot Sint Jans in the Pommersfelden Book of Hours, Ms. 343* In the Museum der bildenden Künste in Leipzig there is a sixteenth-century panel depicting The Institution of the Rosary. The style of the figures and the way in which different moments from the story are distributed organically over the picture surface suggest that it is a copy after a lost work that Geertgen tot Sint Jans painted for the Haarlem Confraternity of the Rosary (fig. 1).1 The left half shows the Virgin appear- ing to the kneeling St Dominic, who is receiving the rosary from the Christ Child. The door in the left background opens onto a room in which the bare-chested St 1 Dominic is kneeling before a crucifix with a rosary in his hand. The right half of Copy after Geertgen tot Sint Jans, the painting shows the dissemination of the rosary. In the foreground, St Dominic The Institution of the Rosary, panel, 28 x 42 cm.

To Emile Bernard. Arles, Monday, 30 July 1888
To Emile Bernard. Arles, Monday, 30 July 1888. Monday, 30 July 1888 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: New York, Thaw Collection, The Morgan Library & Museum Date: Assuming that Van Gogh honoured his promise to write again soon, the present letter dates from shortly after the previous one to Bernard (letter 649, of 29 July). The opening words accordingly appear to be an immediate continuation of their discussion about painting, while the drawings that Bernard had sent are examined at the end. Van Goghs new model, Joseph Roulin, who posed for him on 31 July, is not mentioned, despite the fact that the importance of painting portraits is stressed in this letter. On the assumption that he would have told Bernard about Roulins portrait if he had already painted it, as he did Theo and Willemien in letters 652 and 653, both of 31 July, we have dated this letter Monday, 30 July 1888. Additional: Original [1r:1] Mon cher copain Bernard. Tu admettras, jen doute aucunement, que ni toi ni moi ne puissions avoir de Velasquez et de Goya une ide complte de ce quils etaient comme homme et comme peintres, car ni toi ni moi navons vu lEspagne, leur pays et tant de belles choses qui sont restes dans le midi. Nempche que ce que lon en connait cest dj quelque chse. 1 Va sans dire que pour les gens du nord, Rembrandt en tte, il est excessivement dsirable de connatre, en jugeant ces peintres, et leur oeuvre dans toute son tendue, et leur pays et lhistoire un peu intime et serre de lpoque et des moeurs de lantique pays. -

17Th Century Self-Portraits Exhibited As the Original "Selfies" by Associated Press, Adapted by Newsela Staff on 10.23.15 Word Count 609 Level 1040L
17th century self-portraits exhibited as the original "selfies" By Associated Press, adapted by Newsela staff on 10.23.15 Word Count 609 Level 1040L A woman admires paintings during a press preview of an exhibition called "Dutch Self-Portraits — Selfies of the Golden Age" at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands, Oct. 7, 2015. AP/Mike Corder THE HAGUE, Netherlands — A new museum exhibit features "selfies" from the 17th century Dutch Golden Age of art. These days, anybody with a smartphone can snap a selfie in a second and post it on the Internet. Four hundred years ago, the Dutch Golden Age was a highpoint for trade, science, military and art in the Netherlands. Back then, the selfies were called self-portraits. They were painted by highly trained artists who thought long and hard about every detail. A First Of Its Kind The Mauritshuis museum is staging an exhibition focused solely on these 17th century self- portraits. The exhibit highlights the similarities and the differences between modern-day snapshots and historic works of art. The museum's director, Emilie Gordenker, said that this is the first time a museum has exhibited Dutch Golden Age self-portraits like this. The Mauritshuis was eager to tie the paintings to the modern-day selfie phenomenon, she said. The exhibition opened October 8 and runs through January 3. It features 27 self-portraits by artists ranging from Rembrandt van Rijn, who painted dozens of self-portraits, to his student Carel Fabritius and Judith Leyster. Her self-portrait is on loan from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
