INTRODUCTION 1 Investigating signatures touches upon the real core of art history: connoisseurship. The construction of oeuvres is one of the basic tasks of art historians. Besides documents, they therefore inevitably have to make use of signatures. However, several great connoisseurs – Berenson, Friedländer – emphasize that signatures are faked quite often. Consequently, an investigation of signature practices can easily be criticized for the mere fact that it is very difficult to be sure of the authenticity of all the studied signatures. -

The financial history of Our Lady's Pand is well documented, since the church 's account books survive and record the income received from the Pand for the years 1468-1560. These accounts are analyzed, and the findings combined with information from other contemporary sources, to pro- vide a picture of the Pand's operation, scale, growth, and decline. -

ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 JAN DE BEER’S LIFETIME REPUTATION AND POSTHUMOUS FATE Dan Ewing This article assembles the evidence for the lifetime reputation of the Antwerp painter Jan de Beer (ca. 1475–1527/28), rediscovered by Georges Hulin de Loo and Max J. Friedländer in the early twentieth century. At the time of their publications little was known about the artist’s life, but the evidence now available concerning his important reputation includes archival sources published since Friedländer’s day, an unpublished contract, early literary sources, and reevalu- ations of the artist’s work for the guild and church. The factors involved in his late sixteenth-century disappearance from the historical record are also analyzed.

Renaissance and Baroque Drawings, January 27, 2006-April 9, 2006
Design and Description: Renaissance and Baroque Drawings, January 27, 2006-April 9, 2006 Beginning in the early Renaissance (ca. 1400), artists and their patrons sought new ways to make art and its subject matter correspond more directly to the world of their viewers. In the pursuit of increasingly naturalistic art, drawing became a regular part of artistic practice. The Italian word for drawing, disegno, also may be translated as “design.” In artists’ workshops and emerging art academies in Renaissance Italy, young apprentices were taught to follow clearly defined steps in the design of frescos, panel paintings, sculpture, and prints. Artists began with free- form sketches that explored compositional ideas and also with studies from life or antique sculpture. These were followed with drawings that explored the effects of light, shadow, and spatial illusion. Lastly, artists created fully realized drawings to integrate all of these design elements into models (called modelli) for the final works. In Germany and the Netherlands, preparatory drawings became common only in the 1550s. Instead, drawings were presented to patrons as finished works or as contractual agreements. They were also used in instruction: artists often made drawings of completed paintings to use as workshop examples. For these reasons, many early Northern drawings are highly finished, emphasizing the descriptive detail, texture, and reflective effects of light for which Northern painters were known. By the 17th century (Baroque period), artists from all over Europe traveled to Italy for part of their training. As a result, the Italian tradition of systematic design permeated artistic practice throughout the continent. As well, new genres such as landscape emerged with emphasis upon sketching on site. -
