MODERN MASTERS The Low Countries’ tradition of excellence in the arts is carried through into the modern age. Get to know the modern masters in depth, with visits to the Van Gogh and Magritte museums – the largest collections of these artists’ work – and discover Victor Horta, a pioneer of art nouveau, through a private guided visit of his house and studio Detailed itinerary Included meals are shown with the symbols B, L and D. Tour start & finish time The tour starts on Friday 31 May at 3.45pm at the Renaissance Marriott Hotel, Brussels. The tour ends on Wednesday 12 June at Park Hotel, Amsterdam, after breakfast. Friday 31 May Arrive The tour begins this afternoon, when we gather in the hotel lounge where tour leader Dr Sophie Oosterwijk will meet you. After time to introduce ourselves, we visit the Royal Library of Belgium, whose collection of manuscripts on display provides a fascinating insight into the love of detail, dynamic compositions and wonderful use of rich colours that is typical of late medieval and early Renaissance art from this region. We continue on foot to the World-Heritage listed Grand Place, the historic centre of Brussels, which is lined by the palaces of the city’s medieval Above: The Grand Place in Brussels guilds. Dinner in a local restaurant, evening at leisure. Overnight Below: Pieter Breughel The Younger’s The Peasant Wedding Dance Brussels. (D) in Brussels’ Museum of Fine Arts Bottom: detail of the lightwell in Victor Horta’s House and Studio Saturday 1 June Brussels Museum of Fine Arts Flanders and Brabant were the economic heart of northern Europe in the Middle Ages and the centre of an artistic revolution in the 15th-17th centuries, which we will explore in detail over the next few days. After a talk in the hotel this morning, we visit Belgium’s Royal Museums of Fine Arts to explore its magnificent collection of Old Masters, including works by Rogier van der Weyden, Hieronymous Bosch, Pieter Bruegel and Peter-Paul Rubens. We then enjoy a welcome lunch in a restaurant located inside one of Brussels’ most striking art-nouveau buildings. In the afternoon, we return the Museum of Fine Arts to explore its other excellent collections – the modern art museum, with works by David, Ingres and Matisse, and the Magritte Museum, which holds the most comprehensive collection of this modern master’s work. Evening at leisure. Overnight Brussels. (B, L) Sunday 2 June Victor Horta and Leuven Victor Horta was one of the leading lights of art nouveau architecture, which sought to use modern building materials to create a new way of living for the growing middle classes of Europe. This morning we have a private guided visit of the house and studio of this master. The building is both innovative and delightfully playful in its use of materials, its carefully coordinated decorative motifs and its division of spaces to facilitate a modern lifestyle. We then travel by coach to Leuven, a historic university town outside of Brussels, to explore its history, including a visit to its beautiful gothic cathedral and treasury. Returning to Brussels, the evening is at leisure. Overnight Brussels. (B) Monday 3 June Ghent Ghent was one of the largest cities in medieval Europe and home to one of the most revolutionary artworks of the 1400s: the Altarpiece of Hubert and Jan van Eyck, housed in the Cathedral of St Bavo, commonly known as the Ghent Altarpiece. Research undertaken during its recent renovation has revealed even more about this extraordinary piece of art – one of the first surviving works employing the luminous new techniques of oil painting devised by Jan van Eyck – and its presentation in the cathedral is excellent. After visiting the masterpiece, we tour the city and break for lunch. In the early afternoon we continue to Bruges with its perfectly preserved Flemish-Gothic architecture. Dinner in a local restaurant. Overnight Bruges. (B, D) Tuesday 4 June Bruges Bruges was a magnet for European merchants of the Middle Ages as it was the largest port north of the Alps and at the convergence of overland, river and ocean trade routes. Towards the end of the 14th century it became part of Burgundy, a rising power in Europe whose dukes played France and England off each other to increase their own territorial possessions. It was also under the Dukes of Burgundy that Bruges became the centre of an artistic revolution as artists such as Jan van Eyck, Gerard David and Hans Memling worked in the town for the burghers and nobles who wanted themselves immortalised in the new style. After a talk in the hotel, we explore the historic cityscape of Bruges and visit the Hans Memling Museum, where some of the artist’s finest work is displayed, and the Church of Our Lady, to visit the tomb of the last of the Burgundians – Mary the Rich – and the only statue by Michelangelo to go north of the Alps in the artist’s own lifetime.

  • The Novel As Dutch Painting
    one The Novel as Dutch Painting In a memorable review of Jane Austen’s Emma (1816), Walter Scott cele­ brated the novelist for her faithful representation of the familiar and the commonplace. Austen had, according to Scott, helped to perfect what was fundamentally a new kind of fiction: “the art of copying from nature as she really exists in the common walks of life.” Rather than “the splendid scenes of an imaginary world,” her novels presented the reader with “a correct and striking representation of that which [was] daily taking place around him.” Scott’s warm welcome of Emma has long been known to literary historians and fans of Austen alike. But what is less often remarked is the analogy to visual art with which he drove home the argument. In vividly conjuring up the “common incidents” of daily life, Austen’s novels also recalled for him “something of the merits of the Flemish school of painting. The subjects are not often elegant and certainly never grand; but they are finished up to nature, and with a precision which delights the reader.”1 Just what Flemish paintings did Scott have in mind? If it is hard to see much resemblance between an Austen novel and a van Eyck altarpiece or a mythological image by Rubens, it is not much easier to recognize the world of Emma in the tavern scenes and village festivals that constitute the typical subjects of an artist like David Teniers the Younger (figs. 1-1 and 1-2). Scott’s repeated insistence on the “ordinary” and the “common” in Austen’s art—as when he welcomes her scrupulous adherence to “common inci­ dents, and to such characters as occupy the ordinary walks of life,” or de­ scribes her narratives as “composed of such common occurrences as may have fallen under the observation of most folks”—strongly suggests that it is seventeenth-century genre painting of which he was thinking; and Teniers was by far the best known Flemish painter of such images.2 (He had in fact figured prominently in the first Old Master exhibit of Dutch and 1 2 chapter one Figure 1-1.

  • The Art Market in the Dutch Golden
    The Art Market in the Dutch Art 1600–1700 Dutch Golden Age The first great free market economy for art This painting is occurred in the Dutch Republic of the 1600s. an example of the This republic was the most wealthy and “history painting” urbanized nation at the time. Its wealth was category. based on local industries such as textiles and breweries and the domination of the global trade market by the Dutch East India Company. This economic power translated into a sizeable urban middle class with disposable income to purchase art. As a result of the Protestant Reformation, and the absence of liturgical painting in the Protestant Church, religious patronage was no longer a major source of income for artists. Rather than working on commission, artists sold their paintings on an open market in bookstores, fairs, and through dealers. (c o n t i n u e d o n b a c k ) Jan Steen (Dutch, 1626–1679).

(c o n t i n u e d f r o m f r o n t ) This open market led to the rise in five major categories of painting: history painting, portraiture, scenes of everyday life, landscapes, and still-life paintings. The most prized, most expensive, and often largest in scale were history or narrative paintings, often with biblical or allegorical themes.

  • Dutch Art, 17Th Century
    Dutch Art, 17th century The Dutch Golden Age was a period in the history of the Netherlands, roughly spanning the 17th century, in which Dutch trade, science, military, and art were among the most acclaimed in the world. The first section is characterized by the Thirty Years' War, which ended in 1648. The Golden Age continued in peacetime during the Dutch Republic until the end of the century. The transition by the Netherlands to the foremost maritime and economic power in the world has been called the "Dutch Miracle" by historian K. W. Swart. Adriaen van Ostade (1610 – 1685) was a Dutch Golden Age painter of genre works. He and his brother were pupils of Frans Hals and like him, spent most of their lives in Haarlem. A01 The Painter in his Workshop 1633 A02 Resting Travelers 1671 David Teniers the Younger (1610 – 1690) was a Flemish painter, printmaker, draughtsman, miniaturist painter, staffage painter, copyist and art curator. He was an extremely versatile artist known for his prolific output. He was an innovator in a wide range of genres such as history, genre, landscape, portrait and still life. He is now best remembered as the leading Flemish genre painter of his day. Teniers is particularly known for developing the peasant genre, the tavern scene, pictures of collections and scenes with alchemists and physicians. A03 Peasant Wedding 1650 A04 Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his gallery in Brussels Gerrit Dou (1613 – 1675), also known as Gerard and Douw or Dow, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, whose small, highly polished paintings are typical of the Leiden fijnschilders.

ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 THE COMEDIC SUBLIME: A DISTINCTLY DUTCH BAROQUE IN THE WORK OF FRANS HALS Frans-Willem Korsten The relation between the sublime and the comic has never been fully developed theoretically. In the European context laughter and the sublime would seem to be awkward partners. Yet in the work of Hals the two are brought together, provoking the question of how the sublime is related, formally and in terms of content, to happiness and the comic. It is possible on the basis of Hals’s work to define a distinctly Dutch baroque that prefigures the unfolding of key philosophi- cal issues concerning the nature of history and the actualization of worlds.

MEMORIAL EXHIBITION OPENS AT MUSEUM OF MODERN ART Sponsored by the Netherland-America Foundation, a retrospec­ tive memorial exhibition of the works of the Dutch painter, Piet Mondrian, opens today (Wednesday, March 21) at the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street. The exhibition will Include about fifty oils and drawings by this Dutch artist who was the leading painter of the de Stijl group in Holland, and will cover the period from 1900 until the painter's death in New York in February 1944. The exhibi­ tion has been directed by James Johnson Sweeney, Director of the Museum1s Department of Painting and Sculpture. Born March 7, 1872 in Amersfoprt, Holland, Mondrian spent many years in Paris and was the originator of neo-plasticisnw The artist summed up his life work and hopes as follows: "It is my conviction that humanity, after centuries of culture, can accelerate its progress through the acquisi­ tion of a truer vision of reality. Plastic art discloses what science has discovered: that time and subjective vision veil the true reality* "Despite oppressive factors, the great plastic art of the past.has made us feel true reality: it has always struggled to abolish the barriers that prevent expression of this reality. In plastic culture, from,the remotest past down to the present, we see a growing evolution toward freedom, from the limitations of time and subjectivity." Together with fheoxan Doesburg and de Stijl group his in* fluence has been great on modern architecture, typography, and layout design.
