  • 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.

Belgium’s Asmall military was overmatched and reduced to fighting skirmishes as the Kaiser’s war machine headed toward France. Belgian civilians, as they had during the Franco- Prussian War, resisted by taking up arms. Snipers and ambushes slowed the Germans’ advance. In retaliation, German troops massacred Belgian men, women, and children. Cities, villages, and farms were burned and plundered.1 Belgian neutrality meant nothing to the German master plan to invade and defeat France before the Russian army could effectively mobilize in the east.

    EN ROYAL MONASTERY The masterpiece OF BROU of an emperor’s daughter The Royal Monastery of Brou, an exceptional monument, is the result of the determination at the dawn of the Renaissance of a European Princess: Margaret of Austria (1480 – 1530), daughter of an emperor, Duchess of Savoy and Regent of the Netherlands. Its church, built to commemorate her love for her deceased husband Philibert the Handsome, is famous for its elegant tombs carved in marble and alabaster. The unity of its construction, its lavish decoration and its polychrome, glazed tiles make it a masterpiece of the Flamboyant Gothic style. The three two-storey cloisters, which reveal both the skill of the builders and the life of the monks, contain the Princess’s apartments and the rich collections of the Museum of Fine Art.

By incorporating a false frame and picture curtain, Dou transformed this work from a familiar “niche picture” into a depiction of a painting composed in his signature format. Drawing on anthropologist Alfred Gell’s concepts of enchantment and art nexus, I analyze how such a picture would have mediated the interactions between artist, owner, and viewer, enabling each agent to project his identity and shape one another’s response.

Bodies of Knowledge: The Presentation of Personified Figures in Engraved Allegorical Series Produced in the Netherlands, 1548-1600 Abstract During the second half of the sixteenth century, engraved series of allegorical subjects featuring personified figures flourished for several decades in the Low Countries before falling into disfavor. Designed by the Netherlandsâ?? leading artists and cut by professional engravers, such series were collected primarily by the urban intelligentsia, who appreciated the use of personification for the representation of immaterial concepts and for the transmission of knowledge, both in prints and in public spectacles. The pairing of embodied forms and serial format was particularly well suited to the portrayal of abstract themes with multiple components, such as the Four Elements, Four Seasons, Seven Planets, Five Senses, or Seven Virtues and Seven Vices. While many of the themes had existed prior to their adoption in Netherlandish graphics, their pictorial rendering had rarely been so pervasive or systematic.

    96 Edward H. Wouk Downloaded from Brill.com10/09/2021 08:37:50AM via free access 97 A portrait of the artist as friend The painted likeness of Lambert Lombard Edward H. Wouk Of all the Renaissance likenesses that have survived to the present day, the Detail fig. 1 Portrait of Lambert Lombard (fig. 1) of circa 1560 is unique in its warm, al- most intimate presentation of an artist as subject.1 Standing before a glow- ing yellow background with shirt collar open, the scholarly painter and theorist Lambert Lombard (1505/1506-1566) turns his head and his gaze to engage directly with the viewer. He holds a pair of spectacles in his left hand, pinching the bridge of the dark frames between his thumb and index finger. This motif suggests that we encounter Lombard in the act of reading or examining a work of art. He has removed his glasses and looks critically toward us, greeting us with a gesture that asks our purpose in confronting him. Scholars have interpreted Lombard’s probing, direct gaze as evidence that the image is a self-portrait.2 But there is little reason to believe that Lombard produced this vivid likeness of himself. An avid draftsman and designer of prints, Lombard painted little and openly professed his dislike of working in color and oils.3 What survives of his painted oeuvre hard- ly resembles the vigorous brushwork visible in this portrait.4 Instead, the Portrait of Lambert Lombard appears to have been made by another Neth- erlandish artist of the mid-sixteenth century.

It can be identified in van der Doort’s catalogue of the king’s pictures as a ‘Mantua piece’ which hung in the Cabinet Room off the Privy Gallery in the Palace of Whitehall.1 It was therefore purchased by Charles I from Mantua and must have belonged to Vincenzo II Gonzaga (1594–1627), Duke of Mantua; but it has not been identified in the 1627 inventory of his collection.2 It was presumably sold from the Royal Collection during the Commonwealth but it was recovered for Charles II and placed in the King’s Closet at Whitehall, which was apparently arranged to imitate Charles I’s Cabinet Room.3 It remained at Whitehall in the reign of James II4 but appears to have been moved to Kensington Palace by William III and in 1697 and 1700 to have been hanging on the staircase there.5 It was certainly among the pictures removed by William III 1.
