  • South Netherlandish School
    southern netherlandish school c.1500 The Virgin and Child oil on panel (arched top) 49.2 x 34.2 cm (19⅜ x 13½ in) HIS DEPICTION OF THE VIRGIN AND CHILD WAS a popular composition in Netherlandish painting during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, but this version stands slightly apart for several reason, not least its exceptional quality. The Virgin gently cradles the infant tChrist in both hands and stares serenely and maternally at Him. She is depicted as Queen of Heaven, dressed in a luxurious pink cloak over a fine tunic and delicate lace veil. She wears a jewelled headband, stands against a richly coloured hanging, and the wall behind her has been inscribed with detailed patterning. Beyond this wall is an extensive landscape dotted with copses of trees, and the whole composition is framed by a decorative foliate arch. The painting is exquisitely painted, with the attention to detail that characterises the best work of the so-called Flemish Primitives. The modelling of light is superb, as it picks out the hollow of the Virgin’s throat, highlights the sculptural folds of her cloak, and shimmers through both figures’ hair. Details such as the slight flush of the Virgin’s cheeks are typical of the overall subtlety of execution. The long slender fingers and rigid postures are also common features of southern Netherlandish painting of this period. As previously mentioned, the composition of the present work was a popular one during this period. Max Friedländer believed it ultimately originated from Rogier van der Weyden’s depiction of the Virgin and Child in his Saint Luke Drawing the Virgin (fig.

  • 'Afblijven of Afnemen?' – Leave It Or Take It Away: Ethical
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography Mélanges Roger Marijnissen ‘Afblijven of Afnemen?’ – Leave it or take it away: ethical considerations on the removal of overpaintings. The case of the Ghent Altarpiece Maximiliaan P.J. Martens, UGent –KVAB Throughout his career, Roger Marijnissen has been a leading figure in the professional ethics of art conservation. Often his points of view were way ahead of his time and what he advocated decennia ago not seldom against a wall of miscomprehension, is considered as standard practice today. However, Marijnissen usually concentrated on specific case studies and never attempted to write a comprehensive theoretical treatise, like Cesare Brandi or more recently Salvator Muñoz Viñas or BarBara AppelBaum. He often preferred to publish in the local press in Belgium, ‘kicking people consciousness’ as Louis Paul Boon, another controversial Belgian author, used to say. He has a preference of stating his views in powerful one-liners, like ‘the best treatment is the one that never has to take place’, inviting his audience to vivid discussions. Discussions are at the core of the decision-maKing process around the conservation- restoration treatment of the Ghent altarpiece, carried-out By a team of the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA). About a year ago, during a meeting in the conservation studio in the Ghent Museum of Fine Arts where the panels of the Ghent Altarpiece are being treated, the advisory board (that gathers all staKeholders) was informed on the extensive layers of old overpaint and retouching that had been discovered By the conservators throughout the exterior wings of the altarpiece.1 While the people present were watching with astonishment the small windows made in the overpainted coats of Joos Vijd and ElizaBeth Borluut, Roger asKed me ‘afblijven of afnemen’?
