The Young Talent in Italy
Originalveröffentlichung in: Jonckheere, Koenraad (Hrsg.): Michiel Coxcie, 1499 - 1592, and the giants of his age : [...on the occasion of the exhibition "Michiel Coxcie: the Flemish Raphael", M - Museum Leuven, 31 October 2013 - 23 February 2014], London 2013, S. 50-63 und 198-204 Eckhard Leuschner THE YOUNG TALENT IN ITALY 4U ichiel Coxcie appears to have been in Italy between about 1530 and a.539.1 With just two exceptions (see below), no contemporary archival documentation relating to this phase of his career has so far been published. Giorgio Vasari mentions that he met Coxcie in Rome in M1532,2 and the surviving paintings, drawings and prints indicate that that is where he spent almost all his time in Italy. As far as the art history of Rome in the Cinquecento is concerned, the 1530s may well be the least studied decade of the century. 3 That is partly due to the political events of the previous years, especially the Sack of Rome in 1527 and its aftermath. When the troops of Emperor Charles V stripped the city of its treasures and political importance, they also weakened the finances of local patrons and the demand for art in general. However, the onset of the Reformation in the North had made itself felt even before then, and the number of works of art commissioned and produced in Rome had been in decline since the early 1520s.4 Although the city ’s artistic life never came to a complete standstill (not even during or immediately after the sack), the scarcity of information on artists active in Rome around 1530 speaks for itself.

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 circumstances in which this occurs vary: a special meeting of mind between teacher and pupil, the discovery of unsuspected developments in other artistic centers of the land, a journey abroad, a theme or a sitter holding a particular personal appeal to the painter — all these may accomplish it.

The Duke of Alba: the Ideal Enemy
THE DUKE OF ALBA: THE IDEAL ENEMY Recibido: Enero 2014 Daniel R. Horst Aceptado: Marzo 2014 Rijksmuseum Amsterdam (Países Bajos) https://doi.org/10.14603/1I2014 EL DUQUE DE ALBA: EL ENEMIGO IDEAL RESUMEN: En este trabajo voy a presentar cómo la imagen de Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, III Duke of Alba (1507-1582) ofrecida por los propagandistas neerlandeses durante la Revuelta holandesa se corresponde con antiguos estereotipos holandeses sobre los españoles en general. El duque de Alba es ampliamente criticado por su orgullo, un pecado más claramente visible en la estatua de su figura erigida en Antwerp en 1571. La conexión entre Alba y el vicio de orgullo se usa reiteradamente en la propaganda holandesa anti-española durante el gobierno del duque de Alba en las Provincias Unidas pero igualmente permanece como un tema popular con algunos ejemplos de textos menos conocidos de este período que tratan sobre el duque de Alba. Finalmente mostraré cómo el nombre del duque de Alba vive todavía en la lengua holandesa. PALABRAS CLAVE: Fernando Álvarez de Toledo (Duque de Alba), propaganda visual, Revuelta holandesa, Guerra de Ochenta Años, estereotipos españoles. ABSTRACT: This article I will show how the image Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, III Duke of Alba (1507-1582) portrayed by Netherlandish propagandists during the Dutch Revolt corresponds with older existing Netherlandish stereotypes of the Spanish people in general. The duke of Alva is widely criticized for his Pride, a sin which most clearly visible in the statue of himself which the duke erected in Antwerp in 1571. The connection between Alva and the vice of Pride is used over and over again in Dutch anti-Spanish propaganda during Alva’s reign in the Netherlands but also remains a popular theme well into the seventeenth, eighteenth and even nineteenth centuries.

Art at Auction in Th Century Amsterdam
JOHN MICHAEL MONTIAS This book exploits a trove of original documents that have survived on the auctions organized by the Orphan Chamber of Amsterdam in the first half of the seventeenth century. For the first time, the names of some 2000 buyers of works of art at auction in the 29 extant notebooks of the Chamber have been systematically analyzed. On the basis of archival research, data have been assembled on the occupation of these buyers (most of whom were merchants), their origin (Southern Netherlands, Holland, and other), their religion, their year of birth, their date of marriage, the taxes they paid and other indicators of their wealth. Buyers were found to cluster in groups, not only by extended family but by occupation, religion (Remonstrants, Counter-Remonstrants) and avocation (amateurs of tulips and of porcelain, members of Chambers Art at Auction in of Rhetoricians, and so forth). The subjects of the works of art they bought and the artists to which they were attributed are also analyzed. The second part of the book on “Selected Buyers”, is devoted to art dealers who bought at auction and four to buyers who had special connections with artists, including principally Rembrandt. As a whole, the book offers a penetrating insight into the culture of the Amsterdam elite in the seventeenth century. In Art at Auction in 17th Century Amsterdam Montias has created a richly patterned panorama of the interactions between artists, art lovers and art dealers who were active in one of Europe’s most JOHN MICHAEL th Century Amsterdam important art scenes of the 17th century.

This PDF provides paragraph numbers as well as page On Gerard de Lairesse’s “Frenchness,” His Liège Roots, and His Artistic Integration in Amsterdam Eric Jan Sluijter This article demonstrates how Lairesse’s style, his knowledge of contemporary Italian art and ideas, and his understanding of the art of antiquity was fully developed by 1670 and had been shaped by the Romanist-classicist tradition in Liège and through confrontation with the art in Amsterdam, without any significant intervention of French painting and art theory. 1 In the second half of the nineteenth century a positive view of seventeenth-century Dutch art (realist, honest, the art of the common people) came to oppose a negative view of French art (idealized, academic, aristocratic) of the same period.1 Dutch painting of the later seventeenth century was therefore perceived as ruined by the French influence, and Gerard de Lairesse, who functioned within this framework as the epitome of “Frenchness,” became the scapegoat.

Vienna – Buda: Netherlandish Paintings from the Collection of Leopold Wilhelm
The History of the Dutch and Flemish Art Collection of the Szépművészeti Múzeum Júlia Tátrai Brussels – Vienna – Buda: Netherlandish Paintings from the Collection of Leopold Wilhelm Leopold Wilhelm (1614-1662) and his art collection played a defining role in shaping the presence and popularity of seventeenth-century Netherlandish art in Central Europe. The Archduke of Austria built up the larger part of his collection in Brussels, when he was governor of the Netherlands. Compiled with exceptional expertise and taste, and comprising paintings from Italy, Germany and the Low Countries, the collection surpassed the greatest galleries of the seventeenth century. In 1657, the archduke moved back to Vienna, bringing his collection with him. Under the terms of his will, the collection was inherited by his nephew, Emperor Leopold I. Originally amounting to around 1400 outstanding paintings, the collection – although it has not survived intact – still makes up the lion’s share of the imperial collections (today in Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna). The imperial collection of paintings, including Leopold Wilhelm’s gallery, was transferred in 1729 to Vienna’s Stallburg, and then in 1776 to the Belvedere, the former summer retreat of Prince Eugene of Savoy. The royal residences in Hungary were also furnished by the imperial household. Maria Theresa and Emperor Joseph II would send furniture and paintings from their collection in Vienna to the newly rebuilt palace in Buda and the castle in Bratislava. One such occasion was when Prince Albert von Sachsen-Teschen and Archduchess Maria Christina moved to Bratislava to act as governors. After the couple’s brief stay there, some of the paintings were returned to Vienna, while the rest made their way to the newly reconstructed residence in Buda, where they were divided among the living quarters of the palatine and of the president of the court chamber.
