European Masters Jan Van Eyck Jan Van Eyck (Also known as Johannes de Eyck) Born: before 1395 Died: 9 July 1441 Style: Flemish Renaissance Jan Van Eyck was a Dutch master painter who experimented with different methods of painting with oil paints. He was the leading painter of his day and was employed as the Royal Court painter. He also painted portraits for private clients among the aristocracy. Some of his work has been lost over time but a small number have survived and are displayed in museums throughout the world. Jan Van Eyck Madonna of Chancellor Rolin Date Completed: 1432 Medium: Oil on wood Dimensions: 26.5 cm × 19.5 cm (10.4 in × 7.7 in) Location: The Louvre Museum, Paris, France This painting was painted for Nicolas Rolin, the Chancellor of Burgundy. Van Eyck has painted Rolin on the left of the painting with the Madonna on the right. It is thought that Van Eyck may have painted himself, standing with his assistant, in the distance at the center of the painting. Jan Van Eyck Portrait of Jan de Leeuw Completed: 1436 Medium: Oil on panel. Dimensions: 24.5 x 19 cm (9.6 x 7.5 in) Located: Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria Jan de Leeuw was a wealthy gold and silver smith in the town of Bruges where Jan Van Eyck lived and painted during the early 1400s. This portrait, painted by Van Eyck in 1436, shows the craftsman holding a ring in his hand - perhaps as a reference to his career and to show that he is an important figure. Jan Van Eyck Portrait of Margaretha van Eyck Completed: 1439 Medium: Oil on wood Dimensions: 32.6 x 25.8 cm (12.8 x 10.2 in) Located: Groeningemuseum, Bruges, Belgium Jan Van Eyck painted this picture of his wife Margaretha in 1439. The meticulous brush strokes, colors and composition are typical of his style. It is interesting to see detailed medieval costuming in this painting, particularly the horned headdress and lacy edged linen veil. This style was very popular at the time. .

Early Modern Burgundian Hospitals As Catalysts of Independent Political Activity Among Women: Lay Nurses and Electoral Empowerment, 1630- 1750
Early Modern Burgundian Hospitals as Catalysts of Independent Political Activity Among Women: Lay Nurses and Electoral Empowerment, 1630- 1750 Kevin C. Robbins Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis This essay investigates the largest secular healthcare network in early modern Europe in which lay women took vital roles as professional nurses, pharmacists of renown, and powerful, highly conscientious administrators. By 1750, this organization encompassed at least fifty-five municipal and charity hospitals of varying size located in towns throughout eastern France and western Switzerland. These hospitals were all direct outgrowths of the remarkable Hôtel-Dieu (les hospices civils) in the Burgundian town of Beaune and its institutional satellites. At each site, patient care, nurse training, pharmacology, and many aspects of internal governance became the responsibility of an extensive, closely bound consorority of lay women trained under and showing enduring fidelity for centuries to the secular governing rules of the mother-house in Beaune. My study is a comparative one. It relates notable confrontations between lay female nurses and potent external antagonists at the highest echelons of the French clergy. The hospitals involved are the civil hospital of Chalon-sur-Saône (also known as the Hôpital de St. Laurent) and the Hôtel-Dieu of Dole in the adjoining province of Franche-Comté. At both sites, the nurses and their internal, secular protocols of politics and governance drawn from Beaune became the targets of senior Catholic prelates intent on remaking and controlling the nurses' vocation. These churchmen both misunderstood the lay status of the nurses and entirely underestimated their resolute, resourceful defense of their ancient electoral and administrative liberties.

M e d ia e v a l p a in t in g in t h e N e t h e r l a n d s In the first decade of the fifteenth century, somewhere in the South Netherlands, the Apocalypse (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, néerlandais 3) was written in Dutch (dietsche) and illuminated. No- one knows with any certainty exactly where this happened. Erwin Panofsky in his famous Early Netherlan dish Painting (1953) argued convincingly for Liège,· later Maurits Smeyers (1993) claimed it for Bruges (and did so again in his standard work Vlaamse Miniaturen (1998)). The manuscript cannot possibly have been written and illuminated in Liège, nor is it certain that it comes from Bruges (as convincingly demonstrat ed by De Hommel-Steenbakkers, 2001 ). Based on a detailed analysis of the language and traces of dialect in the Dutch text of the Apocalypse, Nelly de Hommel-Steenbakkers concluded that the manuscript originated in Flanders, or perhaps in Brabant. It might well have come from Bruges though, a flourishing town in the field of commerce and culture, but other places, such as Ghent, Ypres, Tournai and maybe Brussels, cannot be ruled out,· other possible candidates are the intellectual and cultural centres in the larger abbeys.

The Portrait of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy at Prayer: Crossing of Sacred and Profane, Or Public and Private in Early Netherlandish Painting*
（１４３） The Portrait of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy at Prayer: Crossing of Sacred and Profane, or Public and Private in Early Netherlandish Painting* Sumiko IMAI Introduction In Netherlandish schools in the fifteenth century, Robert Campin (the Master of Flémalle) and the van Eyck brothers brought important innovations to the field of art. These innovations were realized by their new “oil” techniques, which made it possible to describe details of subtle, transparent light, the feel of the fabrics, and the wrinkles or eye- lashes of people. We cannot but admire such excellent depictions and feel as if we are gaz- ing into a “real” world. In addition to the improvement of the technique of oil paintings, this also reflects a growing interest in the phenomena of the reality at that time during the transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern era. The growing interest can also be asso- ciated with the increase of independent portraits. Among portraits of early Netherlandish paintings, what is particularly remarkable is the representation of those who kneel in prayer to the sacred―in this article it will be referred to as a “devotional portrait” or a “portrait at prayer.” In religious paintings, such portraits at prayer were originally regarded as secondary or additional motifs subordinating the sa- cred object. However, in early Netherlandish paintings, devotional portraits are shown as if sharing the space with the saints whom they pray to. Interestingly, the painters depicted the portrait as carefully and meticulously as saints.(1) Showing the piousness of the por- trait’s model, of course, also seems to reflect the intention to admire one’s social status.

150Th Wine Sale of the Hospices De Beaune
150TH WINE SALE OF THE HOSPICES DE BEAUNE 21 NOVEMBER 2010 - The Hospices de Beaune and Christie’s are celebrating the 150th Wine Sale in China. - A new Cuvée : Santenay «Cuvée Christine Friedberg» - A famous Cuvée changes its name in honor of the King Louis XIV : « Cuvée du Roi Soleil » FROM BEAUNE TO BEIJIN China at the heart of the 150th Hospices de Beaune Wine Auction Two parts of the world each with a great history meet again: China and France, and in particular the renowned wine region Burgundy. This time, our two cultures are to meet thanks to a heritage which is becoming more and more universal: wine. At the heart of Burgundy, Beaune is the Capital City of wine, and the Hospices de Beaune Domaine stands as its incomparable and irreplaceable emblem. Since the 15th Century, Beaune and Hospices wines have been conveying the very special taste of our land. For the last 150 years, these wines have been reaching the rest of the world thanks to a charity auction. At the same time, we have been fortunate enough to have the chance to sample numerous varieties of the finest Chinese teas - something that our friends in China have for centuries been enjoying. We therefore know that you are sensitive to subtle nuances, and will appreciate the various expressions of our 'Climats', our vineyard plots. I look forward to seeing our worlds coming together more often, where we can rely on our common language, the language of wine. Alain Suguenot, President, Hospices de Beaune MP and Mayor of Beaune TO FOLLOW IN JOSEPH PÉTASSE FOOTSTEPS In 1443, Nicolas Rollin, Chancellor of the Philip le Bon, Duke of Burgundy, built a hospital for the poor in Baune at his own expense.

Nicolas Rolin, Chancelier De Bourgogne
Couverture : Portrait de Nicolas Rolin Hospices de Beaune Cliché Jacques Michot ISSN : 1258 - 0899 ISBN : 2 - 905965 - 11 - 8 Herta-Florence PRIDAT Nicolas Rolin Chancelier de Bourgogne Ouvrage honoré d'une aide du Conseil Régional de Bourgogne Avant-propos Nicolas Rolin fut, de son vivant, une personnalité très renommée dans la vie publique. C'est la raison pour laquelle les historiens en général, et plus particulièrement les historiens bourguignons, s'intéressèrent à lui jusqu'à sa mort et immédiatement après celle-ci. Ces écrits adoptent différents points de vue, évoquant tour à tour le politicien, le juriste, le financier, l'homme et le mécène. Les documents contemporains - manuscrits et chroniques, pour la plupart d'origine bourguignonne - qui nous renseignent sur lui, tracent un portrait de sa personnalité dans les différentes situations de sa vie ou dans les différentes phases de sa carrière politique. Cependant l'historiographie proprement bourguignonne, qui portait un intérêt naturel à Rolin, prit fin avec la disparition de l'Etat bourguignon en 1477. A partir de cette date, c'est-à-dire déjà pendant les dernières décennies du XVe siècle, la relation des faits concernant les territoires appartenant à la maison des Ducs de Bourgogne fut reprise par l'historiographie française et habsbourgeoise. D'après les documents que j'ai explorés pour mes recherches, Rolin n'est pas mentionné par les historiens jusqu'à la fin du XVe siècle. Je n'ai pu découvrir que trois oeuvres du XVIe siècle qui citent Rolin. Deux des auteurs étaient originaires de Bourgogne, et le troisième avait choisi cette région comme patrie d'adoption.

Painters on Painting Ellen Harvey on Rogier Van Der Weyden
Painters on Painting Ellen Harvey on Rogier Van der Weyden Oct 27, 2014 Rogier Van der Weyden, Last Judgement, c. 1445–1450, Oil on oak,87 x 216 inches This rather Battered old reproduction hangs in my studio. I’ve owned it since I was five, which is when I first and last saw the original. This is the painting that made me want to Be an artist. The painting is Rogier Van der Weyden’s Last Judgment, also sometimes known as the Beaune Altarpiece. According to Wikipedia, he was commissioned to paint it in 1443 By Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of the Duchy of Burgundy, for his newly founded Hospices de Beaune. After it was finished around 1450, it was hung in the hospital, with beds for those too sick to walk (and presumaBly most in need of contemplating their spiritual fate) placed directly in front of the painting. Like many altarpieces, the painting can Be folded shut. When open, it’s over 7 feet tall By aBout 18 ft wide. The outside shutters show the donors, Rolin and his wife Guigone de Salins, and grisaille scenes of the Annunciation and of Saint Anthony (good for skin diseases) and Saint Sebastian (good against the plague). The inside of the painting, which would only have been shown on special occasions, shows the risen wounded Christ surrounded By angels Bearing the instruments of his passion, seated on a rainBow. Below him, the Archangel Michael weighs the souls of the dead. The Virgin Mary and John the Baptist and the twelve apostles accompanied by portraits of three women, a king, bishop, a pope, and a monk sit on fiery clouds on either side.

The founders did their part as patrons, thus establishing a tradition that allowed the Hospices de Beaune to cross centurys in exceptional conditions. Preserved in a remarkable state of conservation, the Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune is a rare testimony of the civil architecture of the Middle Ages. • A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION In the aftermath of the Hundred Years' War, Beaune suffered misery and famine. To redeem guarantee their salvation, the Chancellor and his wife decided to create a Hospice (hospital) for the «Pôvres», as one third of the city’s inhabitants were without ressources. They endow it with an annual rent, thanks to salines, the local vines and additional resources. In 1452, the Hôtel-Dieu welcomed his first patient. Fom then until the 20th century, the “Dames hospitalières” of the Hospices de Beaune, “pious and good-mannered” women, take care of the sick. The Hôtel-Dieu quickly acquired a great reputation; initially thought for the poor, it was also nobles and bourgeois included who succeeded each other.
