NARRATIVE In a large green meadow, bordered by a canal, men and women are occupied in various activities connected with washing and bleaching linen. A woman draws water from a well, while washerwomen labour in an open washhouse, or rinse items of laundry in narrow tanks of water. Some hang out garments to dry on a line and others lay them on the grass to bleach in the sun. Over to the right, small pieces of linen and articles of clothing are spread out in neat patterns and, in the foreground, women peg out long strips of uncut cloth in parallel lines. A cow and two sheep graze nearby, while children play in the spring sunshine. On the far side of the field, a tall thatch-roofed farmhouse can be seen and, beyond it, a cluster of village houses. A shaft of sunlight illuminates the mellow, red brickwork and highlights the fresh green foliage of trees. -

KdZ 6696. Pen and brown ink, washed with bistre, 216 x 555 mm, signed and dated: Martijn hemskeric 1535 INTRODUCTION During the sixteenth century, many Netherlandish artists1 made a study trip to Italy, and more in particular to Rome, mainly as a completion of the artistic education they had started in their native country. Having arrived in the southern peninsula, they looked for prestigious commissions or employment in an Italian workshop. Many artists returned home after some years, others built up a life and career in the city and stayed. It has been generally acknowledged that northern artists travelled to Italy to learn from Antiquity and their contemporary Italian masters and that in Rome in particular, they made drawings of all the things they admired in the city which they could use in their work. Nonetheless, it remains questionable to what extent and for which purposes northern artists have collected visual material in Rome. Furthermore, it is certainly not clear if the practice of drawing ‘from nature’ may be regarded as one of the main reasons for sixteenth century northern artists to set off for a journey southwards. -

HNA Newsletter, Vol. 22, No. 2, November 2005 1 From the President In Memoriam With summer’s end and the onset of cooler weather, particularly here in upstate New York, I find myself re-energized as I think about the commencement of the academic year, the various exhibitions currently on view, and the appearance of new and stimulating publications, all of which attest to the healthy state of our field. Naturally, my thoughts turn as well to Historians of Netherlandish Art. Planning continues in the able hands of Quint Gregory and Aneta Georgievska-Shine for our next quadrennial conference, which will take place in November 8-12, 2006, in Baltimore and Washington DC. As you are no doubt aware, the Conference Program Committee, consisting of H. Perry Chapman, Melanie Gifford, Larry Silver, Joaneath Spicer, and Ron Spronk, have recently issued a final, electronic call for session and workshop proposals. Naturally, I urge as many of you as possible to submit proposals. Speaking of emails, by now all of you have probably seen the email appealing for additional funds to be contributed to our endow- ment in the name of our recently deceased colleague John Michael Montias. -

Flora Seated in a Wooded Landscape and Surrounded by Flowers Oil on Panel 44 X 64 Cm (17¼ X 25¼ In)
Jan Brueghel II (Antwerp 1601 - Antwerp 1678) and Abraham Govaerts [Antwerp 1581 - Antwerp 1642) Flora Seated in a Wooded Landscape and Surrounded by Flowers oil on panel 44 x 64 cm (17¼ x 25¼ in) A voluptuous Flora, the ancient Italian goddess of flowers is draped in luxurious cream and scarlet robes and contrasts harmoniously with the blue tones of the landscape behind her. Set in a secluded wooded clearing imaginatively filled with an astonishing variety of wild flowers and with an intricate aquamarine backdrop, the classical subject matter blends seamlessly with Flemish realism underlined by the two rustic huts glimpsed in the middle ground of the far right of the composition. Flora is carefully framed by two groupings of flowers. At her left side, a myriad of luscious pink roses, narcissi, buttercups, violas, primroses and poppies predominate while on her other side, tulips and bluebells mingle together. Nestled in the lush grass next to a wicker basket overflowing with blooms of every description are two rabbits, one white and another darker one. Throughout the ages the rabbit has been symbolic of fecundity and has consequently been transmuted into a symbol for lust. In this context, it perhaps alludes to the licentious nature of Flora’s Roman festival, the Floralia which was held in April and included theatrical entertainment involving naked actresses and prostitutes. Both the ancient authors Ovid and Lucretius describe the goddess in their works: Lucretius, in his encyclopaedic explanation for the origins of nature, De Rerum Natura, -
A Structural Analysis and Visual Abstraction of the Pictorial in the Aeneid, I-Vi
A STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND VISUAL ABSTRACTION OF THE PICTORIAL IN THE AENEID, I-VI by RAYFORD WESLEY SHAW submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject HISTORY OF ART at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTER: PROF EA MARE JOINT PROMOTER: DR SGI DAMBE JUNE 2000 Title: A STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND VISUAL ABSTRACTION OF THE PICTORIAL IN THE AENEID, I-VI Summary: The pictorial elements of the first six books of the Aeneid can be evidenced through an examination of its structural components. With commentaries on such literary devices as parallels and antipodes, interwoven themes, cyclic patterns, and strategic placement of words in the text, three genres of painting are treated individually in Chapter 1 to illustrate the poet's consistency of design and to prove him a craftsman of the visual arts. In the first division, "Cinematic progression," attention is directed to the language which conveys movement and frequentative action, with special emphasis placed on specific passages whose verbal components possess sculptural or third-dimensional traits and contribute to the "spiral" and "circle" motifs, the appropriate visual agents for animation. Depiction of mythological subjects comprises the second division entitled "Cameos and snapshots." Three selections, dubbed monstra, are explicated with such cross references as to illustrate the poet's use of epithets which he distributes passim to elicit verbal echoes of other passages. The final division, "The Vergilian landscape," addresses two major themes, antithetical in nature, the martial and the pastoral. Their sequential juxtaposition in the text renders a marked contrast in mood which is manifested pictorially in the transition from darkness to light.
