Militia Company of District II… of in Dutch De Nachtwacht (the night watch ) van Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn 1642 “ You’re in a crowd of hundreds, and yoy’re looking at a picture of a crowd of people. But ther’s adifference. Your crowd is anonymous and the enemy of good things happening.Ideally, you’dlike tob e alone, while, in the picture, their comradeship is bringing a glow to a dark, rainy day. Imagine you are with them, part of the night watch. You’re going out in dreary weather to deal with the drunks, move on the troublemakers and keep an eye uot for thieves and burglars. It’s going tob e great. It beats being at home, because you’re doing it with your friends. It’s a picture about how nice it is tob e doing something with people yoy like. The Night Watch – which is perhaps the most revered picture in the country – speaks of the appeal of joining in; They are going to do something that is hardly appealling in itself – patrolling the streets on a foul day – but how readily we would join them if we could. Companionship is so much more important than ease and comfort. It is a terribly poignant message: for here we are in this room, in a crowd, yet whithout a collective purpose. They – in the picture – are what we should be, and what, in times of honesty, we wish we could be: a band of brothers, a true team, people who will bring out the best in one another. Strange though it might sound, this picture is about loneliness, for it tellsus what we are missing when we feel lonely. And getting to know what our loneliness is about is the first step to lessening its pangs. ( Art is Therapy. Alain De Botton. Rijksmuseum 2014 ) Sickness Life is elsewhere. I have a misplaced longing for glamour. In the galery of honour you can have a look at “the little street” van Johannes Vermeer 1658 In one of the side galleries of the Rijksmuseum’s Gallery of Honour, probably gehind three rows of people, hangs one of the most famous works of art in the world. Thisis bad news. The extreme fame of a work of art is almost always unhelpful because, to touch us, art has to elicit a personal response – and that is hard when a painting is said to be so distinguished. This painting is quite out of synch wit hits status in any case because, above all else, it wants to show us that the ordinary can be very special. The picture says that looking after a simple but beautiful home, cleaning the yard, watching over the children,darning clothes – and doing these things faithfully and without dispair – is life’s real duty. This is an anti heroic picture, a weapon against falseimages of glamour. It refuses to accept that true glamour depends on amazing feats of courage or on the attainment of status. It argues that doing the modest things that are expected of all of us is enough. The picture asks you to be a little like it is:to take the attitudes it loves and to apply the mto your life. If th Netherlands had a Founding Document, a concentrated repository of its values, it would bet his small picture. It is the Dutch contribution to the world’s understanding of happiness – and its message doesn’t just belong in the gallery. ( Art is Therapy. Alain De Botton. Rijksmuseum 2014 ) Reader 17 th Centrury Art in the Netherlands While monarchs ruled surrounding countries, in the wealthy little republic of the Netherlands it was the citizens who had the power. The curators of the exhibition Rijksmuseum, the Masterpieces let visitors come face to face with this self-assured bourgeoisie as soon as they enter. 'It wasn't a king, it wasn't a pope, it was the people who made the painting of the Golden Age possible, says Taco Dibbits, curator of 17th-century art. The wealth of the Netherlands was to a great extent acquired in the colonies. Gold was initially the most important commodity, but during the 17th century trade in slaves, spices and porcelain grew.

A series of samples was taken and cross-sections were prepared. The pigments and the binding medium were identified and compared to the materials readily available in 17th century Holland. Black and white, infra-red and ultra-violet photographs as well as X-radiographs were taken and are discussed. The results of this study were compared to 17th c. materials and techniques and to the literature. 3 INTRODUCTION The "Man with a Beer Keg" (oil on canvas 83cm x 66cm), painted around 1630 - 1633) appears in the literature in 1932. [1] It was discovered in London in 1930. It had been in private hands and was, at the time, celebrated as an example of an unsuspected and startling find of an old master.

Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions.
