ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 THE PETRIFYING GAZE OF MEDUSA: AMBIVALENCE, EKPLEXIS, AND THE SUBLIME Caroline van Eck The Dutch art theorists Junius and van Hoogstraten describe the sublime, much more explicitly and insistently than in Longinus’s text, as the power of images to petrify the viewer and to stay fixed in their memory. This effect can be related to Longinus’s distinction between poetry and prose. Prose employs the strategy of enargeia; poetry that of ekplexis, or shattering the listener or reader. This essay traces the notion of ekplexis in Greek rhetoric, particularly in Hermogenes, and shows the connections in etymology, myth, and pictorial traditions, between the petrifying powers of art and the myth of Medusa.

  • A Painter of ‘Devotions, Poetries and Landscapes’ and a Collaborator with Joris Van Son El Otro Thys
    Philostrato. Revista de Historia y Arte, nº 2 Año 2017, pp. 21-43 DOI: 10.25293/philostrato.2017.07 The Other Thys. An examination of the work of Gysbrecht Thys: a painter of ‘devotions, poetries and landscapes’ and a collaborator with Joris van Son El otro Thys. Análisis de la obra de Gysbrecht Thys: pintor de “devociones, poesías y paisajes” y colaborador de Joris van Son Jahel Sanzsalazar1 Resumen: El pintor flamenco Gysbrecht Thys (también escrito Thijs, Thyssen o Tijssens) (1617- h. 1684) ha sido durante siglos confundido con varios de sus homónimos. Aunque su identidad fue desentramada en 1996 en dos artículos fundamentales, ninguna obra suya había salido a la luz hasta hoy. Las pinturas estudiadas en el presente artículo, primeras aportaciones a la producción de Gysbrecht Thys, ayudan a definir la personalidad artística de un pintor olvidado. Considerando las composiciones de sus pinturas, sus fuentes de inspiración formales y literarias, y las influencias que forjan su estilo, el pintor se revela versátil, con un cierto grado de cultura clásica adquirido en Italia y probablemente en contacto con círculos religiosos eruditos en Amberes. Su participación en una Guirnalda de flores y frutas de Joris van Son permite un excurso en la producción de éste y su probable colaboración con Jan van Balen entre otros; en busca de un mejor conocimiento de la producción de algunos pintores poco estudiados de la escuela de Amberes del siglo XVII. Palabras clave: Pintura flamenca; guirnaldas de flores en el art;, Thijs; Thyssen; Tijssens; Jan van Balen; Amberes siglo XVII; Tiziano Bacanal; Sint-Bartholomeuskerk Merksem; Investigación Abstract: The Flemish painter Gysbrecht Thys (also spelled Thijs, Thyssen or Tijssens) (1617- ca.

  • Hendrick Ter Brugghen (The Hague 1588 – 1629 Utrecht)
    Hendrick ter Brugghen (The Hague 1588 – 1629 Utrecht) How To Cite Bakker, Piet. "Hendrick ter Brugghen." In The Leiden Collection Catalogue. Edited by Arthur K. Wheelock Jr. New York, 2017. https://www.theleidencollection.com/archive/. This page is available on the site's Archive. PDF of every version of this page is available on the Archive, and the Archive is managed by a permanent URL. Archival copies will never be deleted. New versions are added only when a substantive change to the narrative occurs. Hendrick ter Brugghen was born probably in The Hague in 1588.[1] His father, Jan ter Brugghen, was the first bailiff of the States of Holland.[2] Hendrick’s grandfather, who came from a distinguished family from the provinces of Utrecht and Overijssel, was a Catholic priest and as such not allowed to marry. Hendrick’s father was therefore illegitimate. Because of this background, it was long assumed that Hendrick too was a Catholic, but his marriage on 15 October 1616 to Jacomijna Verbeeck, a lawyer’s daughter, took place in a Dutch Reformed church. Moreover, four of the couple’s eight children were baptized in Reformed churches. Unlike his brother and sister, however, Ter Brugghen never became a Protestant. His widow, though, did join the Reformed Church, but not until shortly after his death. Hendrick probably spent his childhood in The Hague. Between 1602, the last mention of him in The Hague, and 1613, the first record of him in Utrecht, the Ter Brugghen family is recorded only in Abcoude.[3] Yet Jan must have settled in Utrecht before 1613, because his son trained as a painter under Abraham Bloemaert (1566–1651), who lived in Utrecht continuously from 1593 until his death.[4] After his apprenticeship with Bloemaert, Ter Brugghen traveled to Italy where, in his own words, he “executed art for innumerable years.”[5] He must have left after April 1607, because in that month he served in the army of the Frisian stadholder Ernst Casimir.

Meijer, Senior Curator, Department of Old Netherlandish Painting, Netherlands Institute for Art History (RKD), The Hague, for confirming the attribution after seeing the picture in the original and dating it to circa 1650-55. A bouquet of flowers appears in a simple glass vase, standing on a pedestal, before a dark background. The graceful arrangement is comprised of two striped tulips, an iris and three pink roses, interspersed with blue convolvulus, a marigold and sprays of citrus foliage bearing creamy white blossom and small unripe fruits. Two butterflies, a damselfly, a beetle and caterpillar are attracted by the fragrant blooms. A fallen leaf rests at the foot of the vase. A member of the Brueghel dynasty, Jan van Kessel was born and trained in Antwerp. He was the grandson of Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568-1625), and nephew of Jan Brueghel the Younger (1601-1678). After serving an apprenticeship with Simon de Vos (1603-1676), he completed his artistic education in the workshop of his uncle Jan Brueghel the Younger.

Only one of them, however, ever attained his high level: Frans van Mieris the Elder (1635–81), “the prince of his pupils,” who, according to Dou, “carried off the crown from them all” (fig 1).[2] Van Mieris’s work, like that of his master, was exclusively in the reach of the elite and, given the prices he commanded, only the very wealthiest of them. This essay examines these buyers, specifically the four whom Houbraken deemed to be the artist’s most important patrons: Isaac Gerard (1616–94), Franciscus de le Boë Sylvius (1614–72), Cornelis Fig 1.

  • Michael Sweerts (1618-1664) and the Academic Tradition
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MICHAEL SWEERTS (1618-1664) AND THE ACADEMIC TRADITION Lara Rebecca Yeager-Crasselt, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Professor Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr., Department of Art History and Archaeology This dissertation examines the career of Flemish artist Michael Sweerts (1618-1664) in Brussels and Rome, and his place in the development of an academic tradition in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century. Sweerts demonstrated a deep interest in artistic practice, theory and pedagogy over the course of his career, which found remarkable expression in a number of paintings that represent artists learning and practicing their profession. In studios and local neighborhoods, Sweerts depicts artists drawing or painting after antique sculpture and live models, reflecting the coalescence of Northern and Southern attitudes towards the education of artists and the function and meaning of the early modern academy. By shifting the emphasis on Sweerts away from the Bamboccianti – the contemporary group of Dutch and Flemish genre painters who depicted Rome’s everyday subject matter – to a different set of artistic traditions, this dissertation is able to approach the artist from new contextual and theoretical perspectives. It firmly situates Sweerts within the artistic and intellectual contexts of his native Brussels, examining the classicistic traditions and tapestry industry that he encountered as a young, aspiring artist. It positions him and his work in relation to the Italian academic culture he experienced in Rome, as well as investigating his engagement with the work of the Flemish sculptor François Duquesnoy (1597-1643) and the French painter Nicholas Poussin (1594-1665). The breadth of Sweerts’ artistic and academic pursuits ultimately provide significant insight into the ways in which the Netherlandish artistic traditions of naturalism and working from life coalesced with the theoretical and practical aims of the academy.

  • DISSOLUTE SELF-PORTRAITS in SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY DUTCH and FLEMISH ART In
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: HOE SCHILDER HOE WILDER: DISSOLUTE SELF-PORTRAITS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY DUTCH AND FLEMISH ART Ingrid A. Cartwright, Ph.D., 2007 Directed By: Professor Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr., Department of Art History and Archaeology In the seventeenth century, Dutch and Flemish artists presented a strange new face to the public in their self-portraits. Rather than assuming the traditional guise of the learned gentleman artist that was fostered by Renaissance topoi , many painters presented themselves in a more unseemly light. Dropping the noble robes of the pictor doctus, they smoked, drank, and chased women. Dutch and Flemish artists explored a new mode of self-expression in dissolute self-portraits, embracing the many behaviors that art theorists and the culture at large disparaged. Dissolute self-portraits stand apart from what was expected of a conventional self-portrait, yet they were nonetheless appreciated and valued in Dutch culture and in the art market. This dissertation explores the ways in which these untraditional self- portraits functioned in art and culture in the seventeenth century. Specifically, this study focuses on how these unruly expressions were ultimately positive statements concerning theories of artistic talent and natural inclination. Dissolute self-portraits also reflect and respond to a larger trend regarding artistic identity in the seventeenth century, notably, the stereotype “ hoe schilder hoe wilder ” that posited Dutch and Flemish artists as intrinsically unruly characters prone to prodigality and dissolution. Artists embraced this special identity, which in turn granted them certain freedoms from social norms and a license to misbehave. In self- portraits, artists emphasized their dissolute nature by associating themselves with themes like the Five Senses and the Prodigal Son in the tavern.

  • * R'vv* De Utrechtse Zeeschilder Adam Willaerts L Werd Niet Alleen Bij Leven Om
    - * r'vv* De Utrechtse zeeschilder Adam Willaerts l werd niet alleen bij leven om zijn werk gerespecteerd, maar wordt ook nu nog door deskundigen als een van de belangrijkste zeventiende-eeuwse marineschilders beschouwd. Ondanks deze status en zijn betrokkenheid bij de oprich­ ting en het bestuur van het St. Lucasgilde in 1611, het regentschap van het St. Jobsgasthuis en kerkelijke aangelegenheden, geniet hij thans ten onrechte slechts in kleine kring enige lelemans (,946) studeerde kunstgeschiedenis bekendheld.
