  • Reciprocal Desire in the Seventeenth Century
    CHAPTER 8 The Painting Looks Back: Reciprocal Desire in the Seventeenth Century Thijs Weststeijn The ancients attributed the invention of painting to an act of love: Butades’s daughter tracing her lover’s shadow on a wall, according to Pliny.1 Likewise, the greatest works were deemed to spring from the artist’s infatuation with his model, from Apelles and Campaspe to Raphael and his Fornarina.2 Ever since Ovid’s Ars amatoria, the art of love had been seen as a discipline more refined than the art of painting, which the Romans did not discuss with similar sophistication. By the late sixteenth century, however, courtiers’ literature had become a conduit between poetic and artistic endeavours, ensuring that the nuanced vocabulary of amorous talk affected the theory of painting.3 In Italian and Dutch sources, both the making and the appreciation of art were described in terms of the lover’s interest in a woman: Dame Pictura. She was a vrijster met vele vrijers: a lady with a host of swains, in the words of the artists’ biographer Cornelis de Bie.4 True artists came to their trade by falling helplessly in love The research resulting in this article was sponsored by The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research. 1 Bie Cornelis de, Het gulden cabinet van de edel vry schilderconst (Antwerp, Meyssens van Monfort: 1661) 23. 2 Hoogstraten Samuel van, Inleyding tot de hooge schoole der schilderkonst (Rotterdam, Van Hoogstraten: 1678) 291: ‘Urbijn, toen hy verlieft was; Venus deede hem Venus op het schoonst ten toon brengen […] Het geen onmooglijk schijnt kan de liefde uitvoeren, want de geesten zijn wakkerst in verliefde zinnen’.

  • Technical Examination of the Emerson-White Book of Hours
    Mayer et al. Herit Sci (2018) 6:48 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-018-0211-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Technical examination of the Emerson‑White Book of Hours: observations on pigment preferences and media application in a Flemish manuscript Debora D. Mayer1*, Hope Mayo2, Erin Mysak3, Theresa J. Smith4 and Katherine Eremin5 Abstract The Emerson-White Hours (MS Typ 443–443.1, Houghton Library, Harvard University) is a book of hours and missal produced in Valenciennes, Bruges, and Ghent in the late 1470s or early 1480s. There are seven full-page miniatures (many more have been removed), fourteen historiated borders, 28 historiated initials, and 24 calendar illustrations in tempera and gold. Text pages have shell gold trompe-l’oeil borders. The illuminators include Simon Marmion, the Master of the Houghton Miniatures (named for this manuscript), the Master of the Dresden Prayerbook, and one of the Ghent Associates. The goal of analysis was to determine if identifcation of palettes supported previous stylistic attributions. Focusing on the illuminations attributed to Simon Marmion and the Houghton Master, we demonstrate that technical analysis can support attribution by identifying diferences in artists’ pigment preferences, pigment blending, and technique of paint application, particularly how the artists render shadows. Keywords: Illuminated manuscript, Book of hours, Flemish, Technical study, Pigment identifcation, Artists’ technique, Simon Marmion, Houghton Master, Master of the Dresden Prayerbook, Ghent Associates, Shell brass, Harvard Introduction compline (before sleep). In addition to standard texts Te Emerson-White Hours (MS Typ 443–443.1, found in books of hours—calendar, Hours of the Virgin, Houghton Library, Harvard University) is a book of Hours of the Cross, Hours of the Holy Spirit, Sufrages hours-missal that includes a wide range of liturgical texts to the saints, Penitential psalms and litany, Ofce of the and an extensive program of illumination executed in Dead—the manuscript contains a considerable num- Bruges, Ghent, and Valenciennes ca.

  • Multo in Parvo: Joris Hoefnagel's Illuminations
    MULTO IN PARVO: JORIS HOEFNAGEL’S ILLUMINATIONS AND THE GATHERED PRACTICES OF CENTRAL EUROPEAN COURT CULTURE by JOAN BOYCHUK B.A., McGill University, 2004 M.A., McGill University, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Art History and Theory) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2016 © Joan Boychuk, 2016 Abstract This dissertation examines the works of illumination produced by the itinerant Flemish miniator, Joris Hoefnagel (1542-1600), during his tenure as court artist to the Wittelsbachs and Habsburgs in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. Comprising illuminated manuscripts as well as independent miniatures, the works at the center of this study provide novel insight into Hoefnagel’s practice as an illuminator and also into the status and function of illumination at the Central European courts of Munich, Ambras, and Prague. Not simply extending a traditional interest in the medium at these sites, Hoefnagel’s works on parchment transformed illumination into a new form bringing together a range of practices and discourses associated with the courts, with humanism, and with emerging disciplines dedicated to the production of new knowledge. Artistically inventive and conceptually productive, Hoefnagel’s compositions helped shaped an identity for the artist as a hieroglyphicus—an initiate into and maker of a privileged language of representation. Unlike other medieval and early modern art, the illuminated page could bring together, on one surface, different media (text and image), genres (heraldry, portraiture, nature studies, biblical narrative, and ornament, among others), and modes of representation (realism, illusionism, symbolism, and abstraction).
