Han Van Meegeren and His Portraits of Theo Van Der Pas and Jopie Breemer
HAN VAN MEEGEREN AND HIS PORTRAITS OF THEO VAN DER PAS AND JOPIE BREEMER “De wereld zou beter zijn als alle mensen hun eigen ritme verstonden en het in harmonie konden brengen met dat van anderen, bij de muziek die van de hemel komt.” De wereld een dansfeest , Arthur van Schendel (The world would be better if everyone understood their own rhythm and in harmony could bring with that of others to the music of heaven. The World is a Festival of Dance , Arthur van Schendel)* Ever since my Schubert Iconography was published I continued to find more Schubert images heretofore unknown to me 1. After the article’s publication I donated all my Schubert iconography research files to the City University of New York Research Center for Music Iconography, and sent newly discovered images to the RCMI to add to the research inventory. From time to time I discover interesting Schubert images, often not compelling for the quality of their art but interesting regarding the curious historical circumstances surrounding the artist who created the image. I have long been an admirer of Vermeer, and in January 2009 I bought Benjamin Binstock’s Vermeer’s Family Secrets .2 I began to read the author’s discussion of the clever and talented Dutch art forger Han (Henricus Antonius) van Meegeren (1889-1947), best known for his Vermeer forgeries. Like most people interested in art I had heard about this duplicitous artist and his incredible success at fooling the Vermeer experts, but I had never seen any examples of Van Meegeren’s own original artwork signed with his own name.

Als keuzeonderdeel van mijn studie Civiele Techniek aan de Universiteit Twente volgde ik tien weken lang een aantal vakken van de opleiding Technische Planologie aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. Als onderdeel van het vak Regionale Strategieën ging ik driemaal op excursie naar de stad Kampen, om zo ervaring in het veld op te doen, aldus mijn docent. Tijdens deze drie bezoeken hoorde ik van de ambitie van de stad en gemeente om de Burgel, de eerste stadsgracht van Kampen, bevaarbaar te krijgen. Om zo de watertoerist verder de stad in te krijgen en een levendige binnenstad te creëren. Ik vond dat een geweldig plan, maar vroeg me toch af waarom deze droom nog geen werkelijkheid was. Met deze vraag stapte ik naar mijn docent, die mij vertelde dat het een enorm project was, met torenhoge kosten, dit door het plan Verweij, wat tegelijkertijd met de bevaarbaarheid een parkeergarage onder de gracht wilde aanleggen.

Using Agent-Based Modelling to Explore the Influence of Canal Cruise Docks on the Crowdedness in the City Centre of Amsterdam
Using agent-based modelling to explore the influence of canal cruise docks on the crowdedness in the city centre of Amsterdam Final thesis for GIMA August 11, 2019 Nina Jensen Solid-id: 6203353 Supervisor: Dr.ir. A Ligtenberg Responsible professor: Dr.ir. RJA van Lammeren Wageningen University & Research 1 2 Abstract In the last years, the crowdedness within the city centre of Amsterdam caused by tourists has come to a point where it is causing nuisance and discontent to the residents of Amsterdam. The Municipality of Amsterdam has tried to find solutions to this problem, such as a halt on new hotels within the city centre and by promoting the outer region of Amsterdam it hopes that tourists will spread out. A new measure of the Municipality is to ban the boarding and disembarking docks of the canal cruises from the city centre and to relocate them outside the city centre. This thesis examines the effect of this imminent policy. An agent-based model was developed to research the influence of the locations of the canal cruises on the crowdedness caused by tourists in the city. The developed model simulates the movement patterns of tourists that take a canal cruise based on two scenarios: one with the current dock locations and one with new dock locations outside the city centre. The agents in the model are based on an operationalization of the actual tourists in Amsterdam. The results from the model show that the relocation of the docks could lead to the spread of tourists towards the neighbouring areas of the city centre.

Retrospective Analysis of Water Management in Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Box 94370, 1090 GJ Amsterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] 4 KWR Water Research Institute, P.O. Box 1072, 3430 BB Nieuwegein, The Netherlands * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The capital of The Netherlands, Amsterdam, is home to more than 800,000 people. Devel- opments in water safety, water quality, and robust water infrastructure transitioned Amsterdam into an attractive, economically healthy, and safe city that scores highly in the ﬁeld of water management. However, investments need to be continued to meet future challenges. Many other cities in the world have just started their transition to become water-wise. For those cities, it is important to assess current water management and governance practices, in order to set their priorities and to gain knowledge from the experiences of more advanced cities such as Amsterdam. We investigate how Amsterdam’s water management and governance developed historically and how these lessons can be used to further improve water management in Amsterdam and other cities. This retrospective analysis starts at 1672 and applies the City Blueprint Approach as a baseline water management assessment.

Chrono- and Archaeostratigraphy and Development of the River Amstel: Results of the North/South Underground Line Excavations, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Email: [email protected] Manuscript received: 28 May 2014, accepted: 2 November 2014 Abstract Since 2003 extensive archaeological research has been conducted in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, connected with the initial phase of the new underground system (Noord/Zuidlijn). Research has mainly focused on two locations, Damrak and Rokin, in the centre of Medieval Amsterdam. Both sites are situated around the (former) River Amstel, which is of vital importance for the origin and development of the city of Amsterdam. Information on the Holocene evolution of the river, however, is relatively sparse. This project has provided new evidence combining archaeological and geological data, and allowed the reconstruction of six consecutive landscape phases associated with the development of the River Amstel. The course of the present-day Amstel is the result of a complex interaction of processes that started with an early prehistoric tidal gully within the Wormer Member of the Naaldwijk Formation, including Late Neolithic (2400–2000 BC) occupation debris in its fill that was subsequently eroded.

Amsterdam Web.Indd
17 km City cycle tour 10.5 miles This tour will show you many of the different faces of Amsterdam. Of course you’ll see its historic centre with the famous canals where dur- ing the 17th century rich merchants built their stately homes. Next you’ll cycle through the Jordaan district, which used to be a working-class area in the early 17th century. Nowa- days it’s a pleasant neighbourhood with narrow streets and many little shops and pubs, an area which is greatly favoured by youngsters and yuppies. In the Jordaan you may want to visit some almshouses, dat- ing right back to the 17th century. In the Plantage district you’ll ﬁnd the splendid urban villa’s of the ear- ly 19th century. And in the Spaar- dammer neighbourhood you‘ll see some beautiful examples of wor- king class apartment-buildings, de- signed by architects of the Amster- dam School in the early years of the 20th century. This architectural style made use of rounded shapes and brick ornaments to decorate the buildings. The buildings in the Spaarndammer- buurt are among the most important examples of the Amsterdam School. Last but not least you may be surprised by very modern houses on the banks of the River IJ, built in the late 20th century. Not only old warehouses have been con- verted into modern apartments, brand new residential areas have been built there as well, designed with a variety of architecture. On many occasions you may observe how modern buildings ﬁt very well within the existing architecture.
