Andrew W. Mellon Collection 1937.1.51 ENTRY The splendidly dressed youth in this three-quarter-length portrait looks out assuredly at the viewer. With a commanding gesture, he rests his right hand on a baton before him while he turns to his left and places his near hand over the hilt of a gold-topped rapier. His buff-colored doublet, richly brocaded with gold and silver threads, has split sleeves that reveal a white blouse with large, pleated cuffs. His breastplate is crossed by a blue ribbon that lies under his flat, white collar and tassel. The broadly painted brown rock cliff behind him and the distant landscape vista to the left provide a neutral background for this elegant figure. The identities both of the sitter and of the artist who painted him have been the subject of much speculation in the literature. [1] Descamps, the first to mention the painting while it was in the possession of Count Heinrich von Brühl (1700–1763) in Dresden, identified the work as a portrait of Willem II by Adriaen Hanneman. [2] Smith cataloged it in 1831 as a portrait by Sir Anthony van Dyck (Flemish, 1599 - 1641), and most, although not all, subsequent writers followed suit.

  • 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.

Over culturele elite Wie het geluk had om in 2004 – voor de restauratie - het Paleis op de Dam te bezoeken, heeft in de Burgerzaal een aantal marmeren bustes gezien. De kwaliteit van deze beelden en de allure van de twee verdieping hoge ontvangstruimte doen de bezoeker al heel snel vermoeden dat het hier om hooggeplaatste personen gaat. Het waren inderdaad portretbustes van Amsterdamse burgemeesters zoals De Graeff, Munter, Tulp en Witsen die zich als Romeinse senatoren lieten afbeelden. En juist dit soort figuren interesseren ons, zowel in historisch opzicht als ook vandaag de dag, getuige de enorme populariteit van de glossy societytijdschriften en dito columns in kranten. Waarom is dit, waarom willen we alles weten van mensen, die in de publieke belangstelling staan? Is het jaloezie of Figuur 2 Met de klok mee vanaf links onder de leedvermaak als een dergelijk persoon een faux pas maakt burgemeesters A.de Graeff, N.Tulp, J.Munter, of zijn we nieuwsgierig naar mensen die een bepaald N.Witsen rolmodel vormen? De neiging bestaat om deze personen hors categorie te beschouwen, die zich als elite kan onttrekken aan normen en waarden, die als het ware eigen regels kan vaststellen. Maar is het wel mogelijk om te spreken van publieke personen alsof zij een aparte categorie vormen, die als groep bestudeerd kan worden? Nu is dit laatste vraagstuk vermoedelijk gemakkelijker te beantwoorden als men de Gouden Eeuw in de Amsterdamse situatie onder de loep neemt.

  • Rembrandt's Bankruptcy
    Cambridge University Press 0521858259 - Rembrandt’s Bankruptcy: The Artist, His Patrons, and the Art Market in Seventeenth-Century Netherlands Paul Crenshaw Frontmatter More information REMBRANDT’S BANKRUPTCY < This study examines the causes, circumstances, and effects of the 1656 bankruptcy by Rembrandt van Rijn. Following a highly successful early career, Rembrandt’s idiosyncratic art and lifestyle came to dominate his reputation. His evasion of responsibility to his creditors was so socially disreputable that laws in Amsterdam were quickly altered. The poor management of his finances magnified other difficulties that he had with family, paramours, friends, neighbors, and patrons. Collectively, Rembrandt’s economic and social exigencies affected his living and working environment, his public station, and his art. This study examines all of these aspects of Rembrandt’s bankruptcy, including his marketing practices, the appreciation of his work, and his relations with patrons, in addition to the details of the bankruptcy itself. Several patterns of short-sighted decision making emerge as Rembrandt conducted his affairs within a constantly changing framework of relationships, a shifting set of obligations, and evolving artistic pursuits.

Societies, too, must retain the ability to discriminate, to reject as well as to accept, to value some things above others, and to insist 6 on the acceptance of those values by all their members. [...] If we are to build a plural society on the foundation of what unites us, we must face up to what divides. But the questions of core freedoms and primary loyalties can’t be ducked. No society, no matter how tolerant, can expect to thrive if its citizens don’t prize what their citizenship means – if, when asked what they stand for as Frenchmen, as Indians, as Britons, they cannot give clear replies.

The first lottery loans: England and the Estates-General 6 2. The first lottery loan of Holland 15 3. The prize ledgers 25 4. The investors of the lottery 37 5. The redemption of the lottery of 1711 43 Conclusion 52 Literature 53 Appendix: Investors of the lottery 58 - 2 - Introduction At several moments in the 18 th century Holland raised capital through lottery loans. This thesis examines what lottery loans are, why they were organized, and who invested in them. Lottery loans haven’t received much attention in debates about the development of early modern public finance. In his history of the lotteries of the Low Countries Fokker wrote in 1862 that lotteries organized by the Estates were a sign of the moral decline of the Republic. Where first lotteries had been used to raise money for charity, now the Estates used lotteries for their own benefits. 1 In his seminal work The Financial Revolution in England Dickson wrote that an ‘addiction of contemporaries to gambling on a massive scale’ was a contradictory trend to the progress in finance made in the 17 th and 18 th century. 2 Murphy, on the other hand, claims the boundaries between gambling and investment remained indistinct in the late 17 th century, and therefore connects the lotteries with the financial revolution. 3 Gelderblom and Jonker examined how market forces shaped Holland’s issuing policy.

This study focuses on cases where specific audiences and sites of display can be isolated. When portraits can be viewed in their original context, they speak not only to those elements intrinsic to the image such as symbolism or fashion, but also to issues extrinsic to the image: social practices, cultural ideals, and individual identities.
