HNA Newsletter, Vol. 28, No. 2, November 2011 1 In Memoriam chior de Hondecoeter canvas of birds in the stairwell is the fi rst painting that greets visitors. The climax is the Hendrick van Vliet, View of the Interior of the Nieuwe Kerk, Delft, from Be- neath the Organ Loft at the Western Entrance (1662). Adele and Gordon lent this great work to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the National Gallery, London, for Walter Liedtke’s extraordinary exhibition, Vermeer and the Delft School in 2001 (cat. no. 84). Adele and Gordon’s last addition to the collection is a poignant double portrait of a man and woman by Michiel van Mierevelt, bought at auction in Janu- ary, 2011. The male sitter holds a tulip bulb in one hand and a single tulip bloom in the other, implying both mutability and resurrection. Adele studied the fi eld assiduously. She researched possible purchases with great care, an enthusiasm her neurologist husband valued highly, encouraged, and shared. Yet Dutch and Flemish art was but one of her domains. Educated at Simmons College, where she majored in biol- ogy, she became a biofeedback therapist, and, at the age of 55, took a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. In 1996, she became a volunteer Mental Health Counselor at Gulf Coast Jewish Family Services, giving regular work- shops on the treatment of addictive disorders. She also used her professional and personal skills as a facilitator at the South Pinellas County Holocaust Survivor Support Group. A quiet, even rather shy person, Adele was undemonstra- tively compassionate, and doubtless brought great comfort Adele S. Gilbert to many people. (1939-2011) Adele was devoted to her family: her husband, their daughters Benette and Stefanie, their son Benjamin, their six Collector of seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish grandchildren, and her brother, William Schwartz.

  • Master Thesis Multinational Villages in the Euroregion Rhine-Waal
    Master Thesis Maarten Goossens S4615646 Radboud University Nijmegen Human Geography: Conflicts, Territories and Identities June 2019 Multinational villages in the Euroregion Rhine-Waal Supervised by: Martin van der Velde And the thing called Europe has become a patchwork of colourful places, and everyone is a stranger as soon as they stick their nose out of their village. There are more strangers than inhabitants in this God blessed continent... Everyone considers their business to be the most important one and no one is planning to sacrifice anything. First of all, to start with, we draw a demarcation line. We split up. We need a boundary. Because we are all for ourselves. But an earth bends under these foolish people, a soil under them and a heaven above them. The borders run criss-cross Europe. In the long term, however, no one can separate people - not borders and not soldiers - if they just don't want to. (Kurt Tuchulsky alias Peter Panter, Berliner Volkszeitung, 27-06-1920) ii Preface The last few months I crossed the Dutch-German border on a daily basis. I did so in a bus, filled with school children speaking Dutch one moment, German the other as if it were one and the same language for them. Often with international students and other people from all over the world making their way from the one side of the border to the other. On my daily trip from Nijmegen to Kleve I sometimes forgot where I was, or fell asleep, and then suddenly noticed I already had crossed the border.

HIS book had its origin in the course of three (Cantor) Lectures given before the Society of Arts in 1889; they have been amplified and added to, and further chapters have been written, treating of the very active period in printing and decorative book- illustration we have seen since that time, as well as some remarks and suggestions touching the general principles and conditions governing the design of book pages and ornaments. It is not nearly so complete or comprehensive as I could have wished, but there are natural limits to the bulk of a volume in the " Ex-Libris" series, and it has been only possible to carry on such a work in the intervals snatched from the absorbing work of designing.

  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)
    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

  • Franciscus Junius: Philology and the Survival of Antiquity in the Art of Northern Europe
    Franciscus Junius: Philology and the survival of Antiquity in the art of northern Europe Review of: Art and Antiquity in the Netherlands and Britain. The Vernacular Arcadia of Franciscus Junius (1591 - 1677) by Thijs Weststeijn, Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2015, 452 pp., 178 colour & b/w illus. €129,00/ $164.00, ISBN13: 9789004283619, E-ISBN: 9789004283992 Ann Jensen Adams The early modern Dutch claimed as their forbearers the Batavians, a Germanic tribe described by Tacitus as located in the far reaches of the Roman Empire. Writings about art produced by the seventeenth-century descendants of these provincial peoples were proud but defensive as they continued to treat Rome as the centre of civilization. In 1632 Constantijn Huygens, secretary to northern Netherlands stadtholder Prince Frederik Henry, confided to his diary that he wished the promising artists Rembrandt van Rijn and Jan Lievens had travelled to Italy to learn from the art of antiquity and the Renaissance masters who had absorbed its lessons. But, he noted, the two young men felt that there were plenty of Italian works to be seen conveniently enough in The Netherlands. He then lavished praise on a figure of Judas by Rembrandt that he felt powerfully expressed the kind of universal truths promulgated by Latin art. Indeed, he wrote, ‘[... ] all honor to you, Rembrandt! To have brought Ilium – even all of Asia Minor – to Italy was a lesser feat than for a Dutchman [...] to have captured for The Netherlands the trophy of artistic excellence from Greece and Italy.’1 Through the first three quarters of the twentieth century this ambivalent stance toward the art of northern Europe has run like a red thread through art history as it developed as a professional discipline identified with, and defined by, the Italian Renaissance’s revival of antiquity.

Correa do Lago, Frans Post, 1612- 1680; ‘catalogue raisonné, in The Burlington Magazine, vol. CL, no. 1259, February 2008, p. 117, n. 2 VP4713 The Haarlem painter Frans Post occupies a unique position in Dutch seventeenth-century art. The first professionally trained European artist to paint the landscape of the New World, as far as we know, he devoted his entire production to views of Brazil. In 1630, the Dutch seized control of the Portuguese settlement in north-eastern Brazil. The young Prince Johan Maurits of Nassau-Siegen (1604-1679) was appointed Governor General of the new territory and charged with establishing a secure footing for the Dutch West India Company. On 25 October 1636, he set sail for South America accompanied by a team of artists and scientists, including the landscapist Frans Post and the figure painter Albert Eckhout (c. 1610-1665). The expedition arrived at Recife in January the following year. Post remained there for seven years, during which time he made a visual record of the flora and fauna, as well as the topography of the region, before returning to the Netherlands in 1644. Yet of the many paintings and drawings made during his South American sojourn, only seven paintings and a sketchbook, preserved in the Scheepvaart Museum, in Amsterdam, survive today.
