  • Gary Schwartz
    Gary Schwartz A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings as a Test Case for Connoisseurship Seldom has an exercise in connoisseurship had more going for it than the world-famous Rembrandt Research Project, the RRP. This group of connoisseurs set out in 1968 to establish a corpus of Rembrandt paintings in which doubt concer- ning attributions to the master was to be reduced to a minimum. In the present enquiry, I examine the main lessons that can be learned about connoisseurship in general from the first three volumes of the project. My remarks are limited to two central issues: the methodology of the RRP and its concept of authorship. Concerning methodology,I arrive at the conclusion that the persistent appli- cation of classical connoisseurship by the RRP, attended by a look at scientific examination techniques, shows that connoisseurship, while opening our eyes to some features of a work of art, closes them to others, at the risk of generating false impressions and incorrect judgments.As for the concept of authorship, I will show that the early RRP entertained an anachronistic and fatally puristic notion of what constitutes authorship in a Dutch painting of the seventeenth century,which skewed nearly all of its attributions. These negative judgments could lead one to blame the RRP for doing an inferior job. But they can also be read in another way. If the members of the RRP were no worse than other connoisseurs, then the failure of their enterprise shows that connoisseurship was unable to deliver the advertised goods. I subscribe to the latter conviction. This paper therefore ends with a proposal for the enrichment of Rembrandt studies after the age of connoisseurship.

  • 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.

    Gary Schwartz The Meanings of Rembrandt On Friday, 27 October 1797 the National Council of the Batavian Republic (1795–1801), the successor to the Republic of the Seven United Provinces (1581– 1795), voted to accept a present offered to it by the Brabant printmaker Lambertus Antonius Claessens (1763–1834). “The first proof of a labor of three years, being an engraving depicting The Night Watch, un- dertaken in order to make the masterpiece of Rem- brandt, that outstanding painter of the fatherland, better and better known to the Batavian people and other art-loving nations” (figs. 1–2).1 The Council Opposite side: accepted the gift and ordered the maintenance com- Rembrandt Harmensz. mittee to find an appropriate place to hang the work. van Rijn This event had multiple meanings for Rem- Portrait of the Artist brandt’s posterity.

    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.

Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn (b. July 15, 1606, Leiden—d. Oct. 4, 1669, Amsterdam). To date seventy-three events focusing on Rembrandt have been announced (1) including a major exhibition, “Rembrandt-Caravaggio” from 24 February-18 June 2006 at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam (2) where these two remarkable and revolutionary artists “will confront each other face to face.” Our exploration of Rembrandt’s painting materials and techniques began with preparations for a workshop presented at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and a lecture at the Chicago Art Institute in connection with the exhibition “Rembrandt’s Journey” in 2004. The authors, a conservator (Weil) and a painter (Belchetz- Swenson) explored the technical and art historical literature and did reconstructions. Though Rembrandt never went to Italy unlike many of his artist colleagues in Holland, he studied with Pieter Lastman who had spent five years in Italy and who was profoundly influenced by Caravaggio. Rembrandt’s admiration for the Dutch “Caravaggisti” is evident as he absorbed much of their example into formulating his own style. Caravaggio’s use of dramatic lighting effects, his ability to communicate Fig.1 Rembrandt, Self Portrait, 1659, detail, National profound emotion and moving human drama, as well Gallery of Art, Washington, DC as his technical inventiveness and use of a palette primarily of earth tones were all deeply influential on Rembrandt’s formation as an artist.

  • Biblical and Jewish Motives in Art from Renaissance Till Contemporary Times
    Biblical and Jewish motives in art from Renaissance till contemporary times. The Tower of Babel, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Bereshit/Genesis 11:1-9. Biblical and Jewish motives in art from Renaissance till contemporary times Biblical and Jewish Motives in Art from Renaissance till Contemporary Times. During the Renaissance 17th century c.e. great non-Jewish Grand Masters in the painting art have contributed a great part in the distribution of themes from the Tanach around the globe. It is to be said that these great Grand Masters created these art works in Christian influence and were commissioned by the church. The Grand Masters in painting art are some notably Rembrandt, Rubens, Michelangelo and many others.Aside Biblical artwork made by the Grand Masters from the Renaissance throughout the industrial revolution 19th century c.e. Jewish artwork made by Jewish artists came at the beginning of the 19th century c.e., artists as Maurycy Gottlieb. These artists will be mentioned in this essay as Jewish art work from the 20th century c.e. as Marc Chagall, Chaim Gross and others. I wrote this essay in full awareness that, in contradiction with any book about Jewish art, it would be more consulted and probably read. But art has always interested me and to see it combined with my interests in Judaism is a fascinating and encouraging experience. It is the ideal introduction and announcement of the Tanach towards everyone. This essay would be written with explanatory and information but it will consist mostly with images of these wonderful and beautiful artwork.
