Scales As a Symbol of Metaphysical Judgement – from Misterium Tremendum to Misterium Fascinosum an Analysis of Selected Works of Netherlandish Masters of Painting
Santander Art and Culture Law Review 2/2015 (1): 259-274 DOI: 10.4467/2450050XSR.15.022.4520 VARIA Karol Dobrzeniecki* [email protected] Faculty of Law and Administration of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń ul. Władysława Bojarskiego 3 87-100 Toruń, Poland Scales as a Symbol of Metaphysical Judgement – from Misterium Tremendum to Misterium Fascinosum An Analysis of Selected Works of Netherlandish Masters of Painting Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the motif of scales in Netherlandish art from the 15th to the 17th century. The motif of scales was present in art from earliest times, but its role and func- tion differed in various historical epochs – antique, the middle ages, and the modern age. The core part of the article is devoted to the symbolic relationship between scales and different aspects of justice. The first painting taken into consideration is Rogier van der Weyden’s Last Judgment (approx. 1445 to 1450), and the last one – Jan Vermeer’s Woman Holding a Balance (approx. 1662-1663). The article attempts to answer some crucial questions. What were the meanings attributed to scales during the two centuries exam- ined? How did these meanings evolve, and was the interpretation of the symbol influenced by the ethos characteristic for particular peri- ods and geographical spaces, as well as transient fashions, religious * Karol Dobrzeniecki, Doctor of Law and art historian, currently serves as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Theory of Law and State, Faculty of Law and Administration of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland. -
Quentin Matsys's a Grotesque Old Woman
Portrait of Sixteenth-Century Disability? Quentin Matsys’s A Grotesque Old Woman Sara Newman, PhD Kent State University, USA Abstract: Scholars rarely examine art works from a disability studies perspective; their analyses often misinterpret those works, reinforcing contemporary assumptions about disability and its past representations. Accordingly, this paper examines a portrait by sixteenth-century Antwerp artist Quentin Matsys (1466-1529) from a historically situated disability studies perspective. A Grotesque Old Woman (c.1513) has been understood in terms of abnormality. Existing scholarship has suggested that she represents physical, gender, and sexual deviance in the spirit of Erasmian allegories, or an individual with Paget’s disease. Although these interpretations may inform contemporary scholarship, they shed little light on sixteenth-century disability and its artistic representations. This paper demonstrates how the portrait reflects a cultural transition from an earlier collective, religious model of disability to a more “municipal” one which considers disability vis-à-vis individuals engaged in daily commercial or personal activities. This analysis provides insight into how disability was understood in Matsys’s time, contributes to our understanding of the Dutch allegorical and portraiture traditions, and demonstrates what a historically situated disability model offers future research on artistic representations of disability. Key Words: art history, Netherlandish portraiture; the grotesque “I’ve always been intrigued by this painting. It’s fascinating because it is so meticulously and lovingly painted. You think, why would someone go to so much trouble in order to paint such a grotesque image? I always suspected there was something more to it than just a study in grotesquery” (Brown, 2008). -

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. -

A New Look at the Cure of Folly
Medical History, 1978, 22: 267-281. A NEW LOOK AT THE CURE OF FOLLY by WILLIAM SCHUPBACH* THE MEDICAL and surgical scenes depicted by Netherlandish artists of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have attracted the admiring attention of historians of medicine to such a degree that almost no book on "art and medicine" omits such paintings as Jan Steen's A love-sick (or pregnant) girl visited by a physician (several versions) or Gerrit Dou's Quacksalver (Rotterdam, Boymans-van Beuningen museum), although their documentary value is problematical.' Almost as popular are the paint- ings and graphics which illustrate the scene known in Dutch as Het snijden van den kei, in French as La pierre de tte or La pierre defolie, in English as The cure offolly, and in German as Der Steinschneider. In these scenes, a medical practitioner- physician, surgeon, barber-surgeon or quack, or a combination of those four-makes an incision in the patient's scalp and appears to extract from it a foreign body, usually a stone, the pierre de tete, which, according to contemporary inscriptions, had caused the patient to be afflicted with some kind of mental disorder ("folly"). One of the first modem writers to discuss these scenes, writing about the version in the Prado (Madrid) which is attributed to Hieronymus Bosch, interpreted it as a fantastic suggestion to the surgeons, comparable to Swift's suggestion of reciprocal hind-brain transplants for contentious politicians.2 This interpretation was soon overcast by another, which was first put forward by Henry Meige of the Salpetri6re in a fascinating and persuasive series of articles.3 The Persian physician Rhazes *William Schupbach, M.A., Weilcome Institute for the History of Medicine, 183 Euston Road, London NW1 2BP. -
Memling's Portraits of Christ. a Cognitive Approach
LASSE HODNE Memling’s Portraits of Christ. A Cognitive Approach Abstract Previous research conducted by the author revealed a clear preference for profile and half profile view in paintings of secular persons. Frontal view (full face or en face) was usually restricted to representations of Christ. In this paper, the results will be applied to the study of the paintings of one particular artist: the German born fiftheenth century painter Hans Memling. Adopting methods from traditional art history as well as cognitive psychology, the aim is to show how Memling’s systematic distinction between sacred and profane, using the frontal view only for representations of Christ, can be explained by reference to psychological studies on the effects and values usually associated with the frontal view of a face. Introduction The German-born Flemish painter Hans Memling (c. 1435-1494), active in the Netherlands and Brussels in the second half of the 15th century, was one of his period’s most productive artists. He produced works in various genres, concentrating mostly on religious subjects and portraits. Of the total 36 portraits that he painted, four represent Christ. Of these, three show him full face, while in the fourth he has averted face. In the latter, he also has blood and Crown of Thorns, which is lacking in the rest. In this article, I will seek to show that these two types represent two different aspects of Christ and that Memling, probably unconscious- ly, relied on an unwritten rule that ordinary people should not be represented frontally in painting. By means of a statistical analysis of material from catalogs of Italian, German and Flemish art from the 14th and 16th century, I will try to show, first, that frontality was far more common in representations of Christ than secular persons and, second, that two quite distinct forms of Christ portraits exist. -
The Early Netherlandish Underdrawing Craze and the End of a Connoisseurship Era
Genius disrobed: The Early Netherlandish underdrawing craze and the end of a connoisseurship era Noa Turel In the 1970s, connoisseurship experienced a surprising revival in the study of Early Netherlandish painting. Overshadowed for decades by iconographic studies, traditional inquiries into attribution and quality received a boost from an unexpected source: the Ph.D. research of the Dutch physicist J. R. J. van Asperen de Boer.1 His contribution, summarized in the 1969 article 'Reflectography of Paintings Using an Infrared Vidicon Television System', was the development of a new method for capturing infrared images, which more effectively penetrated paint layers to expose the underdrawing.2 The system he designed, followed by a succession of improved analogue and later digital ones, led to what is nowadays almost unfettered access to the underdrawings of many paintings. Part of a constellation of established and emerging practices of the so-called 'technical investigation' of art, infrared reflectography (IRR) stood out in its rapid dissemination and impact; art historians, especially those charged with the custodianship of important collections of Early Netherlandish easel paintings, were quick to adopt it.3 The access to the underdrawings that IRR afforded was particularly welcome because it seems to somewhat offset the remarkable paucity of extant Netherlandish drawings from the first half of the fifteenth century. The IRR technique propelled rapidly and enhanced a flurry of connoisseurship-oriented scholarship on these Early Netherlandish panels, which, as the earliest extant realistic oil pictures of the Renaissance, are at the basis of Western canon of modern painting. This resulted in an impressive body of new literature in which the evidence of IRR played a significant role.4 In this article I explore the surprising 1 Johan R. -
From Patinir's Workshop to the Monastery of Pedralbes. a Virgin
https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/locus.323 LOCVS AMŒNVS 16, 2018 19 - 57 From Patinir’s Workshop to the Monastery of Pedralbes. A Virgin and Child in a Landscape Rafael Cornudella Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona [email protected] Reception: 05/04/2018, Acceptance: 23/06/2018, Publication: 04/12/2018 Abstract Among the paintings of netherlandish origin imported into Catalonia during the first half of the 16th century, preserved at the Monastery of Pedralbes, there is a small panel featuring the Madonna and Child in a landscape which is attributed here to Patinir’s workshop, not excluding the possibility of some autograph intervention by the master. Whatever the case, this article sets out to situate the piece both in the context of its production and in that of its reception, that is, the community of nuns of Saint Claire of Pedralbes. What is interesting about this apparently modest work is the fact that it combines a set of ingredients typical of Patinir in a composition that is otherwise atypical as regards his known output as a whole, above all in terms of the relationship between the figure and the landscape, although also of its presumed iconographic simplicity. The final section of the article examines the piece in relation to the ever-controver- sial issue –which still remains to be definitively resolved– of the authorship of the figures in the works of Patinir.

Chapter 1. in Search of Memling in Rogier's Workshop
CHAPTER 1. IN SEARCH OF MEMLING IN ROGIER’S WORKSHOP Scholars have long assumed that Memling trained with Rogier van der Weyden in Brussels,1 although no documents place him in Rogier’s workshop. Yet several sixteenth-century sources link the two artists, and Memling’s works refl ect a knowledge of many of Rogier’s fi gure types, compositions, and iconographical motifs. Such resemblances do not prove that Memling was Rogier’s apprentice, however, for Rogier was quoted extensively well into the sixteenth century by a variety of artists who did not train with him. In fact, Memling’s paintings are far from cop- ies of their Rogierian prototypes, belying the traditional argument that he saw them in Rogier’s workshop. Although drawings of these paintings remained in Rogier’s workshop long after his death, the paintings themselves left Brussels well before the period of Memling’s presumed apprenticeship with Rogier from 1459 or 1460 until Rogier’s death in 1464.2 Writers have often suggested that Memling participated in some of Rogier’s paintings, al- though no evidence of his hand has been found in the technical examinations of paintings in the Rogier group.3 One might argue that his style would naturally be obscured in these works because assistants were trained to work in the style of the master.4 Yet other styles have been revealed in the underdrawing of a number of paintings of the Rogier group; this is especially true of the Beaune and Columba Altarpieces (pl. 3 and fi g. 9), the two works with which paintings by Memling are so often associated.5 Molly Faries and Maryan Ainsworth have demonstrated that some of Memling’s early works contain brush underdrawings in a style remarkably close to that of the underdrawings in paint- ings of the Rogier group, and they have argued that Memling must have learned this technique in Rogier’s workshop.6 Although these arguments are convincing, they do not establish when and in what capacity Memling entered Rogier’s workshop or how long he remained there. -
