M. ATKINSON ILLUSTRATED. NEW YORK FREDERICK A. STOKES COMPANY '^'/^^ , ? u4 eKJ\J\ Printed in Great Britain ' hi K- 5 b f'i> INTRODUCTION: SOME SETS OF FURNITURE UNDER m \/ LOUIS XIV The Louis XIV style is one that chance has en- dowed with a splendid name, Louis Ouatorze. Those sonorous, sumptuous syllables, as rich as the gold of the Gallery of Mirrors at Versailles, are they not in themselves completely expressive ? If the Louis XV style was to ex- press a whole society of voluptuous refinement, the Louis XIV style is verily the style of the King. It was to satisfy his taste, to express his mind, to titillate his pride and to proclaim his glory that Le Brun and Le Pautre devised their pompous decorations, that Perrault and Mansard marshalled their columns and raised their cupolas, that Le Nostre planted his alleys on lines meted out by stretched cords, that the Kellers founded bronze, that Domenico Cucci and Claude Ballin chased precious metals, that Andre-Charles Boulle cunningly wedded brass and tortoise shell with ebony in the Louvre, and at the Gobelins the lapidaries matched the stones of Florence, the cabinet-makers put together their ingenious cabinets, the silver- smiths made tables and pots for orange trees out of solid silver, the tapestry workers wove their enormous hangings stitch by stitch, while at vi INTRODUCTION Tourlaville the glass workers made mirrors larger and clearer than those of Venice, Whole volumes might be written on the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles without even a mention of the princes whose names they bear, but this would be quite impossible with the style we are about to discuss in this little book.

  • Rembrandt and the Dutch Catholics
    REMBRANDT AND THE DUTCH CATHOLICS Shelley Perlove, University of Michigan Larry Silver, University of Pennsylvania The Dutch Republic of the seventeenth century was a rich stew of religious groups,1 including: the Reformed (Calvinist) Church, Remonstrants (Arminians), Mennonites (Anabaptists), Lutherans, Socinians, Collegiants, Quakers, Jews, and Catholics, among others. 2 But their encompassing cauldron, at times, heated up in fierce dissension, which led to discord not only between, but also within Protestant denominations.3 One major clash of religious beliefs within the Reformed (Calvinist) Church, the official church of the Republic, led in 1619 to the expulsion of a splinter group, the Remonstrants, from its ranks.4 The strict Calvinists of the Reformed Church declared the Remonstrants heretics, confiscated their property, and sent their ministers into exile-- among them Johannes Wtenbogaert, one of the founders of the Remonstrant church, portrayed in a painting and etching (1635) by Rembrandt.5 Socinians, the “heretical” religious group from Poland who disavowed the Trinity and opposed the divinity of Christ, were also the object of religious repression in Holland. Anti- Trinitarianism gained followers in Holland, especially in the late 1640s and 1650s, when Polish and German Socinians came to Amsterdam to escape persecution. Soon a number of Socinian publications appeared in Dutch, and shortly thereafter other groups, such as the Collegiants and Mennonites, were strongly suspected of this anti-Trinitarian “sickness,” which was called the most pernicious and “Jewish” of all Christian heresies.6 The States of Holland restricted Collegiant meetings in Amsterdam for this reason in 1652 and 1654, but their gatherings resumed in full force in 1655.

(This exhibition will not travel. Most loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late suitmer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits: This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration with the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. British Airways has been designated the official carrier of the exhibition. History of the exhibition; The idea that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art evolved in discussions with the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery of Art, proposed an exhibition on the British country house as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.

  • The Man of Grace: Rembrandt's Portraits of Individual As Saints
    The Man of Grace: Rembrandt’s Portraits of Individuals as Saints by Su-Chi Lin Introduction While the positive influences of the Reformation have long been considered as limited to the development of a visual tradition in early Protestantism, Rembrandt’s The Apostle Paul in its contemporary setting offers the opportunity for further examining the “inner quality” of Protestant aesthetics in a new way.1 Rembrandt van Rijn’s (1606-1669) The Apostle Paul (1657) and his other late religious portraits are well known for their deep “humanity” (Fig.1).2 Rembrandt’s apostles, as Arthur Wheelock argues, have “Protestant quality” in their humility.3 Through referencing the apostle’s association to the Biblical text and church tradition, Volker Manuth examines the historical importance and artistic reception of apostles in varieties of representations.4 Building upon Wheelock and Manuth’s research on Rembrandt’s apostle series from the lens of Protestantism, this paper asks the question: How does Rembrandt’s The Apostle Paul convey theological expression? I will demonstrate that visual effect in Rembrandt’s The Apostle Paul can shed light on the viewer’s understanding of Protestant imagination. Su-Chi Lin 1 The Spatial Dimension The Apostle Paul is dynamic in its composition, simply composed of the image of a bearded old man with two-thirds length body against a plain wall. Yet, the left shoulder and lower part of the figure are ambiguously hidden in deep darkness. This unusual, inscrutable, dim darkness in composition attracts our eyes and serves as a gateway, invoking silently the viewer’s memory of an unknown “universe.”5 The depth of darkness reveals itself in specific details.
