This PDF provides paragraph numbers as well as page numbers for citation purposes. ISSN: 1949-9833 The Infancy of Jesus and Religious Painting by Gerard de Lairesse Robert Schillemans Just after his arrival in Amsterdam, Lairesse painted an impressive series of six paintings on the infancy of Jesus. This article argues that the series must have been made for the Catholic South, presumably for an ecclesiastical institute in Liège or vicinity. Its character connects his painted cycle with the Counter-Reformation. Lairesse involves the viewer closely with the religious content, encouraging meditation, contemplation, and reflection. Despite his flight to Protestant Amsterdam, and his joining (as a full member) the Francophone Walloon Reformed Church, Lairesse continued to maintain warm links with the highest circles in his native Liège. In the Infancy of Jesus, Lairesse thoroughly studied the engravings of Goltzius’s Life of Mary (as well as Rubens and Rembrandt). -

Capital Market Integration North and South of the Alps, 1350-18001

Capital Market Integration North and South of the Alps, 1350-18001 David Chilosi London School of Economics Max-Stephan Schulze, London School of Economics Oliver Volckart London School of Economics Abstract This paper addresses two questions. First, when and to what extent did capital markets integrate north and south of the Alps? Second, how mobile was capital? Analysing a unique new dataset on pre-modern urban annuities, we find that northern markets were consistently better integrated than Italian markets. Long-term integration was driven by initially peripheral places in the Netherlands and Upper Germany integrating with the rest of the Holy Roman Empire where the distance and volume of inter-urban investments grew primarily in the sixteenth century. The institutions of the Empire contributed to stronger market integration north of the Alps. Keywords: capital markets, market integration, early modern Europe JEL Codes: N23, N93 1 We would like to thank the Leverhulme Trust for funding the research (grant RPG-133), and Alexandra Sapoznik and Angela Ling Huang for collecting and preparing the archival data. -
Two Portraits of the Prince Ladislas-Sigismund Vasa from the Collections in Wawel Castle Re-Examined
Rocznik Historii Sztuki, tom XXXVII PAN WDN, 2012 KATARZYNA KRZYŻAGÓRSKA-PISAREK INDEPENDENT ART HISTORIAN LONDON TWO PORTRAITS OF THE PRINCE LADISLAS-SIGISMUND VASA FROM THE COLLECTIONS IN WAWEL CASTLE RE-EXAMINED INTRODUCTION This article aims to re-evaluate the existing evidence concerning the attribution and provenance of the two portraits of the Polish Prince Ladislas-Sigismund (1595–1648), later King Ladislas IV, formerly ascribed to the Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens, and now to his workshop and his school or circle respectively. Both pictures are at present in the Wawel Castle in Cracow, and are the two most important works associated with Rubens and his studio in Poland. As both paintings originally came from British collection, so they might benefit from being reviewed from this perspective. The first one is a half-length (to the knees) portrait on long-term loan from the Metropolitan Museum, New York1, described there as workshop of Peter Paul Rubens, Ladislas-Sigismund IV, King of Poland, c. 1624, oil on canvas, 49¼ ϋ 39¾ in. or 125.1 ϋ 101 cm, Inv. n. 29.100.13 (fig. 1). The second one is a full-length equestrian portrait by the school or circle of Rubens, Ladislas-Sigismund, Prince of Poland on horseback, after 1624, oil on canvas, 259 ϋ 185.5 cm, Wawel Castle, Cracow, State Collection of Art, Inv. n. 6320 (fig. 3). Later known as King Ladislas IV, the Polish Prince was the son of the King Sigismund III Vasa and his first wife Anne of Austria (1573–1598), also known as Anna Habsburg. -

Willem van Mieris, “Perseus & Andromeda” (detail, see cat. no. 35) GALERIE LOWET DE WOTRENGE Agents & Dealers in Fine Art Northern Works on Paper | 1550 to 1800 February 24 - March 25, 2018 Cover image: Cornelis Schut, “Apollo and Daphne” (detail; see cat no. 29) Gerrit Pietersz, “Phaeton asking Apollo for his chariot” (detail, see cat. no. 31) The current selection of works on paper - ranging from ‘première pensées’ and studies in pencil or ink to highly finished works of art in their own right - was gathered over a period of several years, culminating in this selling exhibition, opening at the gallery in the spring of 2018. In the course of these past years, a number of works on paper that would have made great additions to the current exhibition have found their way to various private and institutional clients. I thank all of them (you know who you are!) for putting their trust in my expertise. The works illustrated in this catalogue have now been gathered at our premises for the show, but I trust many of the sheets will also find their way into various collections across the globe soon. In that case, this catalogue will have to do as a humble memento of this particular moment in time. This selection of ‘northern’ works includes mostly works by Dutch and Flemish artists, with the occasional German thrown in. The division of artists into these geographical ‘schools’ should, however, always be taken with a grain of salt, as most of them were avid travellers - Flemish artists from the sixteenth century onwards viewed the obligatory trip to Italy almost as a pilgrimage - and were continuously being influenced by each other’s work. -
Panels Between Rubens and Van Dyck
Panels Between Rubens and Van Dyck Gaspar de CRAYER From an artistic background, Gaspar de Crayer was born in Antwerp, in 1584. His father was a schoolmaster, as well as an illuminator and calligrapher. According to historical sources, De Crayer carried out his apprenticeship in Brussels under Raphael Coxie (around 1540-1616), who specialized in history painting and portraits in the Mannerist style. It is unknown at what age he moved from Antwerp to Brussels, home to both the Court and government, which gave him the opportunity to establish his reputation. The artist distinguished himself in two genres – portraiture and religious painting – which were sometimes combined in a single composition. Prolific in his production, his career spanned an impressively long period since he continued painting vast altarpieces into his eighties. His image was immortalized by one of the greatest masters of the 17 th century, Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641). The only known self-portrait is in The Adoration of the Magi , in which De Crayer depicted himself as a gentleman . aaa 1.1 bbb Jacob JORDAENS (Antwerp, 1593-1678), attributed to — Portrait of Gaspar de Crayer Around 1640 Oil on canvas Private collecon Aged around fiy and at the height of his career, De Crayer as immortalised by Anthony van Dyck ho painted this first portrait of the arst, no held in the Prince of Liechtenstein’s collecons ((ienna).
