They belonged to the high nobility of Holland. Jacob was Lord of Horne and Count of Horne from 1450 onwards. The couple is depicted with eight children, but only seven of them are known: Willem (1449–1453), Jacob II, Count of Horne (c. 1450–1502), Jan (1458–1505), Bishop of Liège from 1482 onwards, Maria, Margaretha (1461–1518), Frederik († 1487) and Walburga.

Brussels 2013, no. 5. Historical information: The coat of arms on the centre panel is that of the Sforza family. The man on the right is the condottiere Alessandro Sforza (1409–1473), who was also a bibliophile and a poet. The identity of the two other persons has led to some discussions. It is now assumed that they are Alessandro’s son, Costanzo Sforza (1447–1483) and his daughter, Battista Sforza (1446–1472). The condottiere probably commissioned the triptych in 1458, dur- ing a journey he made through France and the Low Countries, in the service of his brother, the Duke of Milan.

Frankfurt and Berlin 2009, no. 31 (with bibl.). Historical information: The stained-glass window on the left wing pres- ents a coat of arms similar to that of the da Villa family (see cat. 487). Many members of this lineage commissioned Flemish artworks destined for founda- tions in Flanders or in Chieri, where they came from. Hulin de Loo proposed in an unpublished paper from 1936 that the young man depicted here is Oberto da Villa. More recently, Campbell has demonstrated that the coat of arms does not belong to this family. The man wears the collar of the Order of the Porcupine, but he has not been identified.

Cartographic Styles and Discourse MAGIS Brugge: Visualizing Marcus Gerards’ 16th-century Map through its 21st-century Digitization Elien Vernackt * MAGIS Brugge Project Abstract Marcus Gerards delivered his town plan of Bruges in 1562 and managed to capture the imagination of viewers ever since. The 21st-century digitization project MAGIS Brugge, supported by the Flemish government, has helped to treat this map as a primary source worthy of examination itself, rather than as a decorative illustration for local history. A historical database was built on top of it, with the analytic method called ‘Digital Thematic Deconstruction.’ This enabled scholars to study formally overlooked details, like how it was that Gerards was able to balance the requirements of his patrons against his own needs as an artist and humanist Abstract Marcus Gerards slaagde erin om tot de verbeelding te blijven spreken sinds hij zijn plan van Brugge afwerkte in 1562.

  • Rethinking Savoldo's Magdalenes
    Rethinking Savoldo’s Magdalenes: A “Muddle of the Maries”?1 Charlotte Nichols The luminously veiled women in Giovanni Gerolamo Savoldo’s four Magdalene paintings—one of which resides at the Getty Museum—have consistently been identified by scholars as Mary Magdalene near Christ’s tomb on Easter morning. Yet these physically and emotionally self- contained figures are atypical representations of her in the early Cinquecento, when she is most often seen either as an exuberant observer of the Resurrection in scenes of the Noli me tangere or as a worldly penitent in half-length. A reconsideration of the pictures in connection with myriad early Christian, Byzantine, and Italian accounts of the Passion and devotional imagery suggests that Savoldo responded in an inventive way to a millennium-old discussion about the roles of the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene as the first witnesses of the risen Christ. The design, color, and positioning of the veil, which dominates the painted surface of the respective Magdalenes, encode layers of meaning explicated by textual and visual comparison; taken together they allow an alternate Marian interpretation of the presumed Magdalene figure’s biblical identity. At the expense of iconic clarity, the painter whom Giorgio Vasari described as “capriccioso e sofistico” appears to have created a multivalent image precisely in order to communicate the conflicting accounts in sacred and hagiographic texts, as well as the intellectual appeal of deliberately ambiguous, at times aporetic subject matter to northern Italian patrons in the sixteenth century.2 The Magdalenes: description, provenance, and subject The format of Savoldo’s Magdalenes is arresting, dominated by a silken waterfall of fabric that communicates both protective enclosure and luxuriant tactility (Figs.

It explores the complex manner in which these central Italian cities both emulated and rejected the political and cultural hegemony of Rome through the ideological and performative reinvention of its cult icons. In the twelfth century the powerful urban center of Tivoli adopted Rome’s grandest annual public event, the nocturnal Assumption procession of August 14-15, and transformed it into a potent civic expression that incorporated all sectors of the social fabric. Tivoli’s cult of the Trittico del Salvatore and the Inchinata procession in which the icon of the enthroned Christ was carried at the feast of the Assumption and made to perform in symbolic liturgical ceremonies were both modeled on Roman, papal exemplars.

  • The Secrets of Tudor Art We Must Try to Put Ourselves Back Into the Minds of the Tudor Courtier
    • The Tudors loved secrets, puzzles and word play and a lot of time and effort has gone into trying to understand what it all meant. • In order to decode the secrets of Tudor art we must try to put ourselves back into the minds of the Tudor courtier. • There were concepts that are alien or unknown to us today on which the interpretation hinges. • Some of the most important are the divine right of kings, magnificence, chivalry and melancholia. • I will start with one of the most puzzling – melancholia. Notes 1. Melancholy 2. The Accession Day Tilt 3. The Impressa 4. Symbolic meaning in Tudor art 5. Nicholas Hilliard, Young Man Amongst Roses. 6. Isaac Oliver, A Man Against a Background of Flames. 7. Nicholas Hilliard, Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland 8. Ditchley Portrait, reject the Renaissance conventions of space and time 9. Armada Portrait 10.
