Muller, Associate Professor in Art History at the University of Utah, for her encouragement and guidance throughout the process of producing this handbook. Professor E. Frank Sanguinetti, Director of the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, and Dr. Lowell Durham, Director of the University of Utah Humanities Center, have earned my gratitude for their support and the time they spent critically reviewing this lengthy work. I am particularly grateful for having been awarded one of the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Fellowships from a grant administered by the Humanities Center of the University of Utah. Without the generous financial support provided by this fellowship a project of this scope would have been difficult to complete. A number of people deserve specific mention for their support. I would like to sincerely thank David Carroll, Registrar at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, and his assistant Melody Moore, for their assistance in providing access to the collection and for their insightful comments. The staff of the Fine Arts Library at the Marriott Library of the University of Utah, Myron Patterson, Dorothy Greenland, Chris Smith, and Susan Travis, were invariably helpful and gracious in providing much-needed resources. I am indebted to the staff of the Interlibrary Loan Office of the Marriott Library, Linda Burns, David Vielstich, and Noel Case, for their expertise in procuring many and often obscure texts. Research in the Netherlands was much facilitated by the unhesitating assistance of the staff of the Rijksprentenkabinet at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The cordial and knowledgeable staff of the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie and of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek at The Hague were also most helpful. I owe thanks to several scholars whose gracious and erudite responses to my inquiries did much to clarify certain issues: Julius S. Held, Malcolm Rogers, Peter C. Sutton, Walter Liedtke, Geoffrey Down, Marijn Schapelhouman, and Evelyn L. Kort-van Kaam. My thanks go also to Michele Schick, Madeleine Viljoen, Shelly Ezzard Smith, and Ruth Gier for their assistance. Finally, I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt thanks to my husband Richard, my family, and many loyal friends, without whose unwavering support and encouragement

  • SIMON DE VOS (1603 – Antwerp – 1676)
    CS0371 SIMON DE VOS (1603 – Antwerp – 1676) The Lamentation Signed and dated, lower left: S. D Vos. in et F 1644 Oil on panel, 14½ x 17⅝ ins. (36.8 x 44.8 cm) PROVENANCE With James A. Gorry, Dublin, until Anonymous sale, Christie’s, London, 6 October, 1950, lot 123 Anonymous sale, Christie’s, London, 9 July 2014, lot 159 (The Property of a Lady) Private collection, England, until 2021 Born in Antwerp in 1603, Simon de Vos studied with the portraitist Cornelis de Vos (1603- 1676) before enrolling as a master in the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke in 1620. Subsequently, he is thought to have rounded off his education with a trip to Italy. Although undocumented, a sojourn in Italy during the 1620s is the only plausible explanation for the stylistic similarities that exist between some of his early genre scenes and those of the German-born artist Johann Liss (c. 1595-1631), who was in Rome and Venice at that time. In any event, de Vos was back in his hometown by 1627, the year in which he married Catharina, sister of the still-life painter Adriaen van Utrecht (1599-1652). He remained in Antwerp for the rest of his life. In his early career, Simon de Vos painted mostly cabinet-sized genre scenes. He specialised in merry company subjects, whose style and composition recall similar works by such Dutch contemporaries as Antonie Palamedesz. (1601-1673), Dirck Hals (1591-1656) and Pieter Codde (1599-1678). After about 1640, he turned increasingly to biblical subjects that show the influence of Frans Francken the Younger (1581-1642), Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) and Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641).

Datasets 16 A. Data curation. Digital scans of landscape paintings were collected from the two major online sources: Wiki Art (WA) (1) 17 and the Web Gallery of Art (WGA) (2). For our purpose, we collected 12,431 landscape paintings by 1,071 artists assigned to 18 61 nationalities from WA, and 3,610 landscape paintings by 816 artists assigned with 20 nationalities from WGA. While the 19 overall number of paintings from WGA is relatively smaller than from WA, the WGA dataset has a larger volume of paintings 20 produced before 1800 CE. Therefore, we utilize both datasets in a complementary way. 21 As same paintings can be included in both datasets, we carefully constructed a unified dataset by filtering out the duplicate 22 paintings from both datasets by using meta-information of paintings (title, painter, completion date, etc.) to construct a unified 23 set of painting images. The filtering process is as follows.

  • Holland Artikel
    Bonny van Sighem Vis op het droge Visstillevens in Holland en Utrecht in de 17de eeuw Stillevens met daarop stapels dode vissen behoren zelden tot de topstukken van musea. Wij kijken liever naar een schilderij met flink wat menselijk drama of naar een kleurig boeket bloemen in verf dan naar een uitstalling van deze weinig aaibare dieren. Toch zijn er prachtige visstillevens geschilderd in de 17de eeuw. De meesten werden gemaakt in de provincie Holland en de stad Utrecht. Over het algemeen zien we op schilderijen uit Holland wat vaker zeevis en op die uit Utrecht wat vaker zoetwatervis. Realisti - sche uitstallingen tonen vistillevens echter niet. De bederfelijkheid van het onderwerp verklaart waarom ze nooit de nageschilderde werkelijkheid laten zien. De stank in het atelier zou ondraaglijk zijn geweest. Bijbelse taferelen, portretten, mythologische voorstellingen, kerkinterieurs, stadsgezichten, genrestukken, landschappen, zeegezichten, stillevens. De 17de-eeuwse Nederlandse schil - derkunst kende zeer veel specialiteiten. De markt was vrij en de economische situatie was gunstig, waardoor zowel de vraag naar als het aanbod van schilderijen zeer groot was. Stil - levenschilders die zich oefenden in het weergeven van levenloze voorwerpen konden kiezen voor het schilderen van vazen met bloemen, boeken, tabaksgerei, steengoed, etenswaar, vruchten, glas en andere kostbaarheden, jachtbuit, vis, of een combinatie hiervan, zoals het ontbijtje, het vanitas-stilleven en het pronkstilleven. Stillevens stelden in de ogen van de la - tere kunsttheoretici niet veel voor, maar op de markt vonden ze gretig aftrek en er konden hoge prijzen voor betaald worden. Ook aan het begin van de 21ste eeuw worden stillevens nog bijzonder gewaardeerd. Ze staan sterk in de markt en brengen ongekende prijzen op.

  • Adriaen Van Ostade 1646/1648 Oil on Canvas Overall: 94 X 75 Cm (37 X 29 1/2 In.) Andrew W
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century Frans Hals Dutch, c. 1582/1583 - 1666 Adriaen van Ostade 1646/1648 oil on canvas overall: 94 x 75 cm (37 x 29 1/2 in.) Andrew W. Mellon Collection 1937.1.70 ENTRY This masterful painting by Frans Hals, which is neither signed nor dated, is unrecorded prior to 1919, when it appeared at a London auction as a self-portrait by the Dutch Italianate painter Nicolaes Pietersz Berchem (Dutch, 1620 - 1683). [1] The identity of the sitter as Berchem cannot be sustained any more than can the attribution to that artist. Berchem’s self-portrait drawing of about 1660 represents a heavier-set person with a more rounded face than that seen in this portrait [fig. 1]. Instead, the artist whom Hals has portrayed here is Adriaen van Ostade (Dutch, 1610 - 1685), the renowned Haarlem painter of rural life. The connection between this painting and Ostade was made by Claus Grimm, who compared this image to two established likenesses of the artist. [2] The first is a small-scale self-portrait in the background of Van Ostade's group portrait of the De Goyer family (Museum Bredius, The Hague) of about 1650. [3] An even more striking comparison is Jacob Gole’s mezzotint portrait of Van Ostade that was executed after a lost painting by the latter’s pupil Cornelis Dusart (Dutch, 1660 - 1704) [fig. 2]. [4] As Eduard Trautscholdt recognized, Dusart must have based his portrait on an earlier representation of the artist; Dusart—who was born in 1660, when his master was fifty years old—depicted Van Ostade as a considerably younger man than he could ever have known.

  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)
    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

  • The Five Senses in Painting
    Exhibition press release The five senses in painting Villa Vauban – Luxembourg City Art Museum 19 March > 26 June 2016 The five human senses – taste, smell, sight, hearing and touch – belong to the most varied and most appealing subjects of European painting. Whereas in Antiquity and the Middle Ages, the senses had rather negative connotations, being considered deceitful or as a promotion of sin, their perception changed with the increasing scientification of thought in the 17th century. The senses were initially represented symbolically or allegorically. The Dutch painting of the Golden Age gradually replaced the initially symbolical or allegorical representation of the senses with narrative genre scenes. The exhibition presents painting and printed graphics of the 17th to 19th centuries in the form of thematic groups of works. Many international loans from around 20 European museums have been supplemented with the collections of Villa Vauban. A first group of works concentrates on the diversity of allegorical representations of the five senses in Flemish and Dutch 17th-century painting. Large-format allegories and small cabinet paintings with picture cycles by Old Masters like Cornelis de Vos, Adriaen van Ostade, Jan Miense Molenaer, Barent Fabritius, Ambrosius Francken the Younger and Herman van Aldewereld are shown. The second group of works is dedicated to French still-life painting, blossoming since the 1620s/30s, and its approach to the theme of the five senses. Painters like Jacques Linard and Louise Moillon resided in Paris and were associated with a group of Protestant artists that had specialised in this genre. The section also includes a painting of the important Strasbourg still-life master Sebastian Stoskopff (1597-1657).
