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. -

Nederlands-Duitse culturele uitwisseling in de lange achttiende eeuw Hanco Jürgens en Inger Leemans Het eerste dat de beroemde Duitse reiziger Ludolf Wienbarg vroeg toen hij in Leiden aankwam was ‘wo habt ihr Schill's Kopf’? Waar is het hoofd van Ferdinand von Schill? De opzichters van het Leidse anatomische kabinet moesten het antwoord schuldig blijven: ‘Er ist seit einigen Jahren aus der Anatomie verschwunden, man weiß nicht wie, durch wen und wohin; vermuthlich hat ihn Jemand gestohlen’. ‘Das ist gut’, antwoordde Wienbarg, ‘so brauche ich nicht der Dieb zu sein’.1 Het zal niet vaak gebeurd zijn dat men in anatomische verzamelingen navraag kwam doen naar geprepareerd fysisch materiaal, dat immers doorgaans van criminelen of landlopers was. Maar Schill was een ander verhaal. Ferdinand von Schill was een Duitse militair die in 1809 een opstand tegen Napoleon ontketende in het noorden van Duitsland. Het lukte hem zelfs om met meer dan duizend medestanders Stralsund te bezetten. De opstand was - helaas? - geen lang leven beschoren: al snel werden de opstandelingen uit de stad geveegd door de ‘Franse’ legermacht van Napoleon, die voor een groot deel uit Nederlanders en Denen bestond.2 Het hoofd van de gesneuvelde Schill werd op bevel van de Franse veldheer door een Nederlandse Officier van Gezondheid van zijn romp gescheiden en op sterk water gezet, waarna het als oorlogstrofee aan Lodewijk Napoleon aangeboden zou worden. -

CLAARTJE RASTERHOFF Painting and Publishing as Cultural Industries The Fabric of Creativity in the Dutch Republic, 1580-1800 amsterdam studies in the dutch golden age Painting and Publishing as Cultural Industries Amsterdam Studies in the Dutch Golden Age Founded in 2000 as part of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the Amsterdam Centre for the Study of the Golden Age (Amsterdams Centrum voor de Studie van de Gouden Eeuw) aims to promote the history and culture of the Dutch Republic during the ‘long’ seventeenth century (c. 1560-1720). The Centre’s publications provide insight into the lively diversity and continuing relevance of the Dutch Golden Age. They offer original studies on a wide variety of topics, ranging from Rembrandt to Vondel, from Beeldenstorm (iconoclastic fury) to Ware Vrijheid (True Freedom) and from Batavia to New Amsterdam. Politics, religion, culture, economics, expansion and warfare all come together in the Centre’s interdisciplinary setting. Editorial control is in the hands of international scholars specialised in seventeenth-century history, art and literature.

ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ADRIAEN VAN OSTADE's IMAGES
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ADRIAEN VAN OSTADE'S IMAGES OF IDYLLIC RURAL LIFE Jessica Lynn Hoffman, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation directed by: Professor Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr., Department of Art History & Archaeology Seventeenth-century Dutch artist Adriaen van Ostade (1610–1685) created paintings of rural life that exude life and vitality. The artist devoted hundreds of canvases and panels to depicting rural folk enjoying a dance or a drink, singing songs, and enjoying the pleasures of the pipe. Though he inherited many aspects of the peasant genre tradition from predecessors such as Pieter Bruegel (c.1525–1569), Ostade, a lifelong resident of Haarlem, developed his own type of peasant image by depicting leisure activities in small inns and taverns that presented a sympathetic view of rural inhabitants. Ostade’s mature paintings of festive country folk relied on preconceived notions about the peace and beauty of Haarlem’s rural environs and were meant to enhance the idea of a peaceful rural escape for urban viewers. Through a critical examination of Ostade’s oeuvre, I will compile a coherent and detailed look at the images of rural festivity that Ostade created throughout his long career. Ostade transformed traditional rollicking kermis scenes into subdued, leisurely celebrations focused on simple interactions along with singing and dancing. He changed the traditional stereotype of the festive peasant from a brutish, crude figure into a rustic, yet idyllic, rural fixture. The content people Ostade depicted in his mature work reflect the desires of an urban bourgeois class in Haarlem that prized their city’s rural environs, which had long been extolled in literature and art. -
Van Marum – Empiricism and Empire

Author: Weiss, Martin Paul Michael Title: The masses and the muses : a history of Teylers Museum in the Nineteenth Century Issue Date: 2013-11-27 Chapter III: Van Marum – Empiricism and Empire I Van Marum’s Work at Teylers Museum 1. You Win Some, you Lose Some After having spent more than one and a half years helping John Cuthbertson construct the largest electrostatic generator ever to be built and helping him negotiate all the unexpected challenges this brought about – the huge, 65 inch glass discs that are rotated to generate friction were in themselves an extraordinary feat of glass casting – finally seeing the machine installed at Teylers Museum and being able to crank it up for the first time must have made van Marum feel like a child unwrapping an eagerly anticipated birthday present.1 After much delay this stage was finally reached in December of 1784, just one month after van Marum had been appointed director of Teylers Museum. Conscious of whom he had to thank for this amazing machine, van Marum wasted no time in demonstrating it to the trustees of the Teyler Foundation.2 But as enamoured as van Marum was with this powerful device now at his disposal, his fellow employee of the Teyler Foundation, Vincent van der Vinne, was not. As was already mentioned in the previous chapter, it did not take him long to complain about van Marum’s constant experimenting to the trustees. They, however, took van Marum’s side in this dispute and explicitly stated that “because of the extensive aims that the Trustees have in mind for the public good, there will necessarily be some nuisance for the Occupant [of the Foundation House]”.
