ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 LIGHT AND SIGHT IN TER BRUGGHEN’S MAN WRITING BY CANDLELIGHT Susan Donahue Kuretsky Ter Brugghen’s Man Writing by Candlelight is commonly seen as a vanitas tronie of an old man with a flickering candle. Reconsideration of the figure’s age and activity raises another possibility, for the image’s pointed connection between light and sight and the fact that the figure has just signed the artist’s signature and is now completing the date suggests that ter Brugghen—like others who elevated the role of the artist in his period—was more interested in conveying the enduring aliveness of the artistic process and its outcome than in reminding the viewer about the transience of life.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: AMALIA VAN SOLMS and THE
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: AMALIA VAN SOLMS AND THE FORMATION OF THE STADHOUDER’S ART COLLECTION, 1625-1675 Virginia C. Treanor, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed By: Professor Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology This dissertation examines the role of Amalia van Solms (1602-1675), wife of Frederik Hendrik, Prince of Orange and Stadhouder of the United Provinces of the Netherlands (1584-1647), in the formation of the couple’s art collection. Amalia and Frederik Hendrik’s collection of fine and decorative arts was modeled after foreign, royal courts and they cultivated it to rival those of other great European treasure houses. While some scholars have recognized isolated instances of Amalia’s involvement with artistic projects at the Stadhouder’s court, this dissertation presents a more comprehensive account of these activities by highlighing specific examples of Amalia’s patronage and collecting practices. Through an examination of gifts of art, portraits of Amalia and her porcelain collection, this study considers the ways in which Amalia contributed to the formation of the Stadhouder’s art collection.
