Report Case Study 25 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Brief Description of Item Workshop of Dieric Bouts (active by 1457-1475) St Luke drawing the Virgin and Child Oil on canvas, transferred from panel in 1899, measuring 109.2 x 86.4 cm The Virgin and Child and St. Luke are depicted in an interior with a tiled floor before an arcade with a landscape beyond. The Virgin is seated against a damask cloth of honour. Unlike many paintings exploring this subject matter, in which the Virgin is depicted breastfeeding, here she offers fruit to the naked Christ Child. St Luke (who may also be a self-portrait of the artist or a member of the confraternity who commissioned this picture) is positioned with one knee bent, making a preliminary drawing, in silverpoint, of the Virgin and Christ Child before him. The panel (with integral frame) on to which St. Luke will paint the final composition can be glimpsed on a three-legged easel through the door on the right- hand side of the picture. 2.

The painting has an excellent claim to be considered of outstanding aesthetic importance, thus meeting the Waverley 2 criterion. It is closely associated with Dieric Bouts (active by 1457-1475), who is regarded as one of the leading fifteenth-century Netherlandish painters, not least because he was one of the most important exponents of oil painting which transformed European painting in the Renaissance and renowned for his rendering of landscape. There are ten paintings associated with Dieric Bouts and his workshop in the National Gallery but their quality (and number) is the exception in the UK. As a devotional painting with the capacity to make an outstanding contribution to the study of the St. Luke tradition in the Netherlands, the painting also meets the criterion set out in Waverley 3. Despite the fact that numerous variants on this important theme were made in the Netherlands at this time, paintings of this subject and period are extremely rare in public collections within the United Kingdom. This unfortunate lacuna probably arose because only a few nineteenth-century connoisseurs collected paintings by Bouts. It is for these reasons that Saint Luke drawing the Virgin and Child is of interest, both to art historians of the Northern Renaissance, and those concerned with the history of collecting and the reception of the Northern Renaissance in Britain during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. DETAILED CASE 1. Detailed description of item if more than in Executive Summary, and any comments The painting depicts St. Luke drawing the Virgin. According to the Golden Legend, St. Luke’s Gospel was revealed to him by the Virgin Mary. It is this episode which identified him as her particular confidant, resulting in his special privilege of painting her with the Christ Child. Images of St. Luke drawing or painting the Virgin were a popular subject matter in the Netherlands in the fifteenth century and are particularly associated with chapels belonging to the painters’ guilds of St. Luke. Bouts was probably born in Haarlem. He was strongly influenced by Rogier van der Weyden as the compositional dependency of the current work on van der Weyden’s St. Luke drawing the Virgin (Boston Museum of Fine Arts) shows. He was chiefly active in Leuven where his two sons Dirk the Younger and Aelbrecht also worked. The earliest dated work by the artist is the National Gallery's Portrait of a Man (1462). Only two other works are documented as being by Bouts. The attributions of The Head of Saint John the Baptist on a Gold Dish (Bowes Museum) and The Miracle of the Gallows (Laing Gallery) to him are not supported by either Friedländer or Schöne. It should be borne in mind that pictures by Bouts’ workshop are also comparatively rare in the UK. Beyond the National Gallery there are four paintings associated with Aelbrecht Bouts (Fitzwilliam Museum, Bowes Museum and the National Trust) and one by Dirk the Younger (Courtauld Institute). Dieric Bouts was one of the leading and most influential Netherlandish painters of this period. Not only was he one of the pioneers of the oil painting technique but he was also the first of his contemporaries to make use of single-point perspective; these innovations are evident in Saint Luke drawing the Virgin and Child. Bouts’ work is also characteristic of an important moment in Early Netherlandish painting which showed a profound response to the Devotio Moderna by creating a style of painting which sought to collapse the psychological and physical distance between the viewer and the fictive scene in order to provoke a more powerful religious experience. 2. Detailed explanation of the outstanding significance of the item This painting is of exceptional interest for two main reasons: its connections with Dieric Bouts and the subject of St. Luke drawing the Virgin that it depicts. Both elements are extremely rare, particularly in the context of the UK, but it is their combination in this work which renders it an important, and indeed unique, British cultural asset. During the fifteenth century Netherlandish pictures were admired all over Europe for their visual sophistication, imagination and invention and those by Dieric Bouts and his workshop were no exception. Saint Luke drawing the Virgin and Child exhibits all of these characteristics. The patterned tiles lead the viewer’s eye through the composition, to the colonnade and landscape beyond. The face of St. Luke, which portrays both age and character, displays the key characteristics associated with Bouts’ portraiture. The expensive damask cloth of honour is exquisitely rendered, as are the tiled floor and marble columns. The detailed landscape beyond the colonnade, showing a walled town receding into a mountainous horizon, demonstrates why Bouts is viewed as one of the most important early Netherlandish landscape painters. The attribution of this panel has been the subject of scholarly debate. Regardless of this uncertainty, between 1900 and 1950 Saint Luke drawing the Virgin and Child was included in several seminal exhibitions on early Netherlandish painting, in the UK and abroad. The work can therefore be viewed as fundamental to both early twentieth-century and current art historical scholarship on Netherlandish painting. Moreover, despite Dieric Bouts’ artistic significance, a number of outstanding questions remain to be answered concerning his oeuvre, particularly who was active in his workshop and how it was managed. This gap in knowledge has given rise to uncertainties concerning the attribution of paintings closely associated with the Bouts painting dynasty, an issue which is exacerbated by the absence of a modern monograph on Bouts. Research into this specific painting, as a workshop piece of great quality, has the potential to revise our knowledge of the authorship of just such panels. In relation to Waverley 3, it should be reiterated that there are no other paintings of this date and origin depicting this important subject in British public collections by Bouts or any other northern European artist of the fifteenth century. As mentioned above, depictions of St. Luke painting or drawing the Virgin were a major part of artistic output in the Netherlands in this period. To have no representation of this important theme in Netherlandish painting in the UK would impoverish our ability to study a number of art historical phenomena.

  • The Early Netherlandish Underdrawing Craze and the End of a Connoisseurship Era
    Genius disrobed: The Early Netherlandish underdrawing craze and the end of a connoisseurship era Noa Turel In the 1970s, connoisseurship experienced a surprising revival in the study of Early Netherlandish painting. Overshadowed for decades by iconographic studies, traditional inquiries into attribution and quality received a boost from an unexpected source: the Ph.D. research of the Dutch physicist J. R. J. van Asperen de Boer.1 His contribution, summarized in the 1969 article 'Reflectography of Paintings Using an Infrared Vidicon Television System', was the development of a new method for capturing infrared images, which more effectively penetrated paint layers to expose the underdrawing.2 The system he designed, followed by a succession of improved analogue and later digital ones, led to what is nowadays almost unfettered access to the underdrawings of many paintings. Part of a constellation of established and emerging practices of the so-called 'technical investigation' of art, infrared reflectography (IRR) stood out in its rapid dissemination and impact; art historians, especially those charged with the custodianship of important collections of Early Netherlandish easel paintings, were quick to adopt it.3 The access to the underdrawings that IRR afforded was particularly welcome because it seems to somewhat offset the remarkable paucity of extant Netherlandish drawings from the first half of the fifteenth century. The IRR technique propelled rapidly and enhanced a flurry of connoisseurship-oriented scholarship on these Early Netherlandish panels, which, as the earliest extant realistic oil pictures of the Renaissance, are at the basis of Western canon of modern painting. This resulted in an impressive body of new literature in which the evidence of IRR played a significant role.4 In this article I explore the surprising 1 Johan R.

  • From Patinir's Workshop to the Monastery of Pedralbes. a Virgin

A Virgin and Child in a Landscape Rafael Cornudella Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona [email protected] Reception: 05/04/2018, Acceptance: 23/06/2018, Publication: 04/12/2018 Abstract Among the paintings of netherlandish origin imported into Catalonia during the first half of the 16th century, preserved at the Monastery of Pedralbes, there is a small panel featuring the Madonna and Child in a landscape which is attributed here to Patinir’s workshop, not excluding the possibility of some autograph intervention by the master. Whatever the case, this article sets out to situate the piece both in the context of its production and in that of its reception, that is, the community of nuns of Saint Claire of Pedralbes. What is interesting about this apparently modest work is the fact that it combines a set of ingredients typical of Patinir in a composition that is otherwise atypical as regards his known output as a whole, above all in terms of the relationship between the figure and the landscape, although also of its presumed iconographic simplicity. The final section of the article examines the piece in relation to the ever-controver- sial issue –which still remains to be definitively resolved– of the authorship of the figures in the works of Patinir.

  • Chapter 1. in Search of Memling in Rogier's Workshop
    CHAPTER 1. IN SEARCH OF MEMLING IN ROGIER’S WORKSHOP Scholars have long assumed that Memling trained with Rogier van der Weyden in Brussels,1 although no documents place him in Rogier’s workshop. Yet several sixteenth-century sources link the two artists, and Memling’s works refl ect a knowledge of many of Rogier’s fi gure types, compositions, and iconographical motifs. Such resemblances do not prove that Memling was Rogier’s apprentice, however, for Rogier was quoted extensively well into the sixteenth century by a variety of artists who did not train with him. In fact, Memling’s paintings are far from cop- ies of their Rogierian prototypes, belying the traditional argument that he saw them in Rogier’s workshop. Although drawings of these paintings remained in Rogier’s workshop long after his death, the paintings themselves left Brussels well before the period of Memling’s presumed apprenticeship with Rogier from 1459 or 1460 until Rogier’s death in 1464.2 Writers have often suggested that Memling participated in some of Rogier’s paintings, al- though no evidence of his hand has been found in the technical examinations of paintings in the Rogier group.3 One might argue that his style would naturally be obscured in these works because assistants were trained to work in the style of the master.4 Yet other styles have been revealed in the underdrawing of a number of paintings of the Rogier group; this is especially true of the Beaune and Columba Altarpieces (pl. 3 and fi g. 9), the two works with which paintings by Memling are so often associated.5 Molly Faries and Maryan Ainsworth have demonstrated that some of Memling’s early works contain brush underdrawings in a style remarkably close to that of the underdrawings in paint- ings of the Rogier group, and they have argued that Memling must have learned this technique in Rogier’s workshop.6 Although these arguments are convincing, they do not establish when and in what capacity Memling entered Rogier’s workshop or how long he remained there.

  • Flemish, Netherlandish and Dutch Painting in The
    THEMATIC ROUTES Flemish, The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection offers a step by step history of the evolution of painting in the Low Countries from the 15th to the 20th centuries, Netherlandish including an outstanding group of works from the 17th century, which is a and Dutch school of painting poorly represented in other Spanish collections. In order to pursue this subject, the present route will introduce the artists Painting in in question through fourteen selected paintings. It starts with works from the 15th century when the spread of the use of the oil technique offered the Thyssen- painters a new way of representing reality and one in which detail and Bornemisza precision were fundamental. This is evident in the works by Jan van Eyck, Collection Rogier van der Weyden, Hans Memling, Joachim Patinir and others. From the late 16th century and throughout the 17 th century a range of Almudena Rodríguez Guridi subjects began to be depicted by artists working in both the Southern Provinces (Flanders) and the Northern Provinces. The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection has paintings by the leading Flemish artists of this period — Rubens, Van Dyck and Anthonis Mor — as well as a notably compre- hensive collection of paintings by Dutch artists — Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Nicolas Maes, Jacob van Ruisdael and Willem Kalf — who worked in genres such as portraiture, scenes of daily life, landscape and still life. These themes were all particularly popular with middle-class mercantile clients who were interested in decorating their houses with works of this type, resulting in a flourishing art market in Dutch cities.

    From Icon to Art in the Netherlands Abstracts of Baltimore/Washington Conference Papers Rogier van der Weyden: Sculpture and Painting in Early Netherlandish Art Chairs: Mark Tucker (Philadelphia Museum of Art), Lloyd DeWitt (Philadelphia Museum of Art) The Walters Art Museum, Graham Auditorium Thursday, November 9, 2006 New Findings on the Function of Rogier van der Weyden’s Philadelphia Crucifixion Mark S. Tucker, Philadelphia Museum of Art The two panels that together form the Philadelphia Crucifixion, long attributed by many scholars to Rogier van der Weyden, have until recently eluded any convincing identification with prevalent forms or display contexts. Technical and stylistic observations arising from the present study suggest, however, the panels’ origin in a specific tradition with which they had not previously been associated: paintings made for the wing exteriors of Netherlandish carved altarpieces. The identification of the Philadelphia panels as wings—and more specifically wings integral to a sculptural project—is supported by the occurrence of a combination of features of carpentry, scale, proportions, and pictorial style. The technical evidence of the panels’ having been altarpiece wings includes the original thinness of the oak panel stock, which is consistent with that specified traditionally for large wings. That the panels had imagery on their reverses and that they were elements of a carved altarpiece in particular is a horizontal row of original dowel holes that pass through the face of the panels near their bottom edges. Such dowelling, atypical of the construction, framing, or mounting of Netherlandish panel paintings, indicates the presence of an original engaged member spanning the reverse of the panel.
