CORNELIS CORNELISZ. VAN HAARLEM (1562 – Haarlem – 1638)
CORNELIS CORNELISZ. VAN HAARLEM (1562 – Haarlem – 1638) _____________ The Last Supper Signed with monogram and dated 1636, lower centre On panel – 14¾ x 17⅜ ins (37.4 x 44.2 cm) Provenance: Private collection, United Kingdom since the early twentieth century VP 3691 The Last Supperi which Christ took with the disciples in Jerusalem before his arrest has been a popular theme in Christian art from the time of Leonardo. Cornelis van Haarlem sets the scene in a darkened room, lit only by candlelight. Christ is seated, with outstretched arms, at the centre of a long table, surrounded by the twelve apostles. The artist depicts the moment following Christ’s prediction that one among the assembled company will betray him. The drama focuses upon the reactions of the disciples, as they turn to one another, with gestures of surprise and disbelief. John can be identified as the apostle sitting in front of Christ who, as the gospel relates, ‘leaned back close to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?”ii and Andrew, an old man with a forked beard, can be seen at the right-hand end of the table. Only Judas, recognisable by the purse of money he holds in his right handiii, turns away from the table and casts a shifty glance towards the viewer. The bread rolls on the table and the wine flagon held by the apostle on the right make reference to the sacrament of the eucharist. This previously unrecorded painting, dating from 1636, is a late work by Cornelis van Haarlem and is characteristic of the moderate classicism which informed his work from around 1600 onwards. -

Here we see people of all ages, nude and clothed, performing varied activities in numerous poses, all in a setting that includes different bodies of water, types of architecture, land forms, and animals. • Wealthy Roman patrons liked landscapes like this one, combining natural and human-made elements in an orderly structure. Rather than emphasizing the vast distance between foreground and horizon with a sweeping view, Domenichino placed boundaries between the foreground (the shoreline), middle ground (architecture), and distance. Viewers can then experience the scene’s depth in a more measured way. • For many years, scholars thought this was a copy of a painting by Domenichino, but recently it has been argued that it is an original. The argument is based on careful comparison of many of the picture’s stylistic characteristics, and on the presence of so many figures in complex poses. At this point in Domenichino’s career he wanted more commissions for narrative scenes and knew he needed to demonstrate his skill in depicting human action. -

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.

A PDF of every version of this biography is available in this Online Catalogue's Archive, and the Archive is managed by a permanent URL. New versions are added only when a substantive change to the narrative occurs. © 2021 The Leiden Collection Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Govaert Flinck Page 2 of 8 Govaert Flinck was born in the German city of Kleve, not far from the Dutch city of Nijmegen, on 25 January 1615. His merchant father, Teunis Govaertsz Flinck, was clearly prosperous, because in 1625 he was appointed steward of Kleve, a position reserved for men of stature.[1] That Flinck would become a painter was not apparent in his early years; in fact, according to Arnold Houbraken, the odds were against his pursuit of that interest. Teunis considered such a career unseemly and apprenticed his son to a cloth merchant. Flinck, however, never stopped drawing, and a fortunate incident changed his fate. According to Houbraken, “Lambert Jacobsz, [a] Mennonite, or Baptist teacher of Leeuwarden in Friesland, came to preach in Kleve and visit his fellow believers in the area.”[2] Lambert Jacobsz (ca. 1598–1636) was also a famous Mennonite painter, and he persuaded Flinck’s father that the artist’s profession was a respectable one. Around 1629, Govaert accompanied Lambert to Leeuwarden to train as a painter.[3] In Lambert’s workshop Flinck met the slightly older Jacob Adriaensz Backer (1608–51), with whom he became lifelong friends. -

'9^3 THE LIBRARY BRIGHAM YOUWG UIN/IVERSIT^ PROVO, UTAH PREFACE THE present catalogue is a revised edition of the one which appeared in 1912 in my Rembrandt's Etchings, an Essay and a Catalogue, with some Notes on the Drawings. The Introduction is also composed to a large extent of material from the same volume, but revised and re-arranged with the definite object of providing such notes as would be of most use to the student and collector of Rembrandt's etchings (e.g. in the addition of a list of values). The volume of plates, to which a few subjects have been added since 1912, will no doubt be of service for purposes of identifica- tion, and will, I hope, appeal equally to the amateur or artist who merely wishes to be reminded of this incomparable series of subjects. For drawing my attention to new states or other details of description in the Catalogue, I would express acknowledgment to Jhr. Mr. J. F. -

The artistic energy of a great nation is not a mere accident, of which we can neither determine the cause nor foresee the result. It is, on the contrary, the resultant of the genius and character of the people ; the reflection of the social conditions under which it was called into being ; and the product of the civilisation to which it owes its birth. All the force and activity of a race appear to be concentrated in its Art ; enterprise aids its growth ; appreciation ensures its development ; and as Art is always grandest when national prosperity is at its height, so it is pre-eminently by its Art that we can estimate the capabilities of a people. -

Ichrist Expiring on the Cross Pierre-Simon Jaillot, Attributed C. 1660 Ivory 36.6 Cm Provenance: Private Spanish Collection
iChrist Expiring on the Cross Pierre-Simon Jaillot, attributed c. 1660 Ivory 36.6 cm Provenance: Private Spanish collection With its head raised and tilted slightly to the right, this beautifully carved figure of the Crucified Christ presents a high forehead, with v-shaped arches over the eyebrows accentuating the pained expression manifested by the knitted eyebrows. The eyes are raised heavenward as depicted by the barely visible curves of the pupils etched in the ivory on the upper part of the cornea, under eyelids that have been reduced to a line. A slender, straight nose, somewhat short, features above a half-open mouth that reveals the teeth and tongue, with a moustache with long wavy ends whose tips merge into a short beard cleft into two large curls. The hair frames an oval face of classical proportions and falls to the right over the chest in an ornate cascade of curls arranged into regular locks of prominent undulations, being likewise arranged, albeit drawn further back from the face, on the left-hand side. There is a fault in the material on a level with the left eye. The anatomy of very precise proportions presents, under a neck of pronounced muscles under stress, a long broad torso that does not feature the classical spear wound. The nether regions of the narrow hips are covered by a loincloth with small, sharply profiled folds tucked into the cord that holds it, although the knot that may have featured over the right hip is missing. Another unusual feature is a row of small red dots on the loincloth whose purpose or meaning is unknown.
