Bénézit, “Bartholomeus-Johannes van Hove” in Dictionnaire des Peintres, Sculpteurs, Dessinateurs et Graveurs, volume 5, Libraire Gründ, Paris, 1976, p. 634 In a large panel, under radiant skies, the old fortifications of Haarlem abut the Spaarne River. The Grote Houtpoort rises majestically in the foreground, dominating the scene with its weathervane reaching to the composition’s edge. The Kalistoren Tower, used for the storage of gunpowder, is in the middle with the Kleine Houtpoort visible in the distance. Built in 1570, the Grote Houtpoort was at the end of the Grote Houtstraat, one of the main roads from the Grote Markt that led outside the city walls. Beyond the gate lay the wooded area, called the Haarlemmerwoud. The temperature is mild, over the arched bridge of the Grote Houtpoort, residents contentedly stroll, conversed or stop to admire the view. Below boatmen propel their craft across glass-like waters with shimmering reflections and floating swans. The sense of well-being pervades this orderly view of the city’s great landmarks that dominate its skyline.

  • Girl with a Flute
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century Attributed to Johannes Vermeer Johannes Vermeer Dutch, 1632 - 1675 Girl with a Flute probably 1665/1675 oil on panel painted surface: 20 x 17.8 cm (7 7/8 x 7 in.) framed: 39.7 x 37.5 x 5.1 cm (15 5/8 x 14 3/4 x 2 in.) Widener Collection 1942.9.98 ENTRY In 1906 Abraham Bredius, director of the Mauritshuis in The Hague, traveled to Brussels to examine a collection of drawings owned by the family of Jonkheer Jan de Grez. [1] There he discovered, hanging high on a wall, a small picture that he surmised might be by Vermeer of Delft. Bredius asked for permission to take down the painting, which he exclaimed to be “very beautiful.” He then asked if the painting could be exhibited at the Mauritshuis, which occurred during the summer of 1907. Bredius’ discovery was received with great acclaim. In 1911, after the death of Jonkheer Jan de Grez, the family sold the painting, and it soon entered the distinguished collection of August Janssen in Amsterdam. After this collector’s death in 1918, the painting was acquired by the Amsterdam art dealer Jacques Goudstikker, and then by M. Knoedler & Co., New York, which subsequently sold it to Joseph E. Widener. On March 1, 1923, the Paris art dealer René Gimpel recorded the transaction in his diary, commenting: “It’s truly one of the master’s most beautiful works.” [2] Despite the enthusiastic reception that this painting received after its discovery in the first decade of the twentieth century, the attribution of this work has frequently Girl with a Flute 1 © National Gallery of Art, Washington National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century been brought into question by later scholars.

  • Mesdag-Van Houten, Sientje
    Sientje Mesdag-van Houten, Foral Still Life Saint-Josse-ten-Noode 1847 – 1943 Brussels oil on panel 16 ¾ by 14 ¾ inches (43 by 37.5 cm.) signed lower right: ‘S M.vH’ provenance: Brabantse KunstJaleriJ, Oirshot, The Netherlands; Private collection, The Netherlands note: SientJe van Houten married Hendrik Willem Mesdag in April 1856 and seven years later in 1863 their only child, Klaas was born. In 1864, her father died and left her a substantial inheritance. This change in her financial situation allowed Hendrik to leave his father’s bank where he had been working for siXteen years and concentrate on his painting and eventually become a professional artist. SientJe accompanied her husband when he went to Brussels to study under Willem Roelofs. Their house in Rue Van de Weyer was often the focal point for Dutch and Belgian painters, and it could well have been the conversations on art at these soirées that stimulated SientJe’s mind and enhanced her artistic talent. She, like her husband, not only received instruction from Roelofs but also from Hendrik’s cousin the professional artist, Lawrence Alma-Tadema. SientJe van Houten accompanied her husband when he spent the summer of 1866 at the Oosterbeek artist colony and again in the summer of 1868 on the island of Nordeney where she, like Hendrik, spent time painting and sketching seascapes. The couple moved to The Hague in 1869, where they lived in a house on Anna Paulownastraat and later in a house on Laan van Meerdervoort. Her husband, who wanted to concentrate on seascapes, later hired a studio room facing the sea at the Villa Elba in Scheveningen where he and Sientje would spend hours painting and sketching.

QUARTERLY Editor: Gordon H. Brown. NUMBER This year two distinguished art critics visited New Zealand. First was the American critic Clement Greenberg, and later, in Sep- tember, the Englishman Robert Melville delivered the Chancellor's Lectures at the Victoria University of Wellington. Melville also made a brier, private visit to Auckland. Because of the nature of 43 Greenberg's visit his presence had the greater impact on the public. 1968: EDITORIAL At the end of June and into July Greenberg travelled through the country stopping at each of the three main centres to deliver a public address. While some members of the public may have become impatient with him - for they felt that he avoided giving a direct answer to certain questions - Greenberg certainly stimu- lated a great deal of thinking that was not limited to what he had to say about the New York scene in particular and the international art movement in general, but extended also to matters which could be related to the local situation.

After graduating at the Rotterdam Art Academy Van Lieshout quickly rose to fame with projects that travelled between the world of easy-clean design and the non-functional area of art: sculpture and installations, buildings and furniture, utopias and dystopias. In 1995, Van Lieshout founded his studio and has been working solely under the studio’s name ever since. The studio moniker exists in Van Lieshout’s practice as a methodology toward undermining the myth of the artistic genius. Over the past three decades, Van Lieshout has established a multidisciplinary practice that produces works on the borders between art, design, and architecture. By investigating the thin line between manufacturing art and mass-producing functional objects, he seeks to find the boundaries between fantasy and function, between fertility and destruction. Van Lieshout dissects systems, be it society as a whole or the human body; he experiments, looks for alternatives, takes exhibitions as experiments for recycling, and has even declared an independent state in the port of Rotterdam AVL-Ville (2001)—a free state in the Rotterdam harbour, with a minimum of rules, a maximum of liberties, and the highest degree of autarky.

  • De Hollandsche Teekenmaatschappij
    De Hollandsche Teekenmaatschappij Een aquarel aan de muur Nanne Walenberg Studentnummer: 3147762 Master Kunstgeschiedenis Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen Universiteit Utrecht Begeleider: Prof. dr. Saskia de Bodt Tweede lezer: Jeroen Kapelle, Assistent-conservator afd. Negentiende eeuw , Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (RKD) Voorwoord 2 Tijdens mijn stage bij het Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (RKD) heb ik onderzoek mogen doen naar de werken op papier uit de collectie van Hendrik Willem Mesdag. Omdat het RKD voor dit project samenwerkte met het Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, mocht ik een dag meelopen met Maite van Dijk, conservator schilderijen, bij het Van Gogh Museum. Zij was op dat moment bezig met het inrichten van de nieuwe tentoonstelling Meesters uit Museum Mesdag . Een groot gedeelte van de 79 tekeningen waar ik onderzoek naar heb gedaan, zouden de muren van deze tentoonstelling bekleden. Eén van de thema’s waar de kunstwerken in onderverdeeld waren, was Mesdag en de Hollandsche Teekenmaatschappij . Maite van Dijk liet mij tijdens de meeloopdag weten, dat over deze Haagse kunstenaarsvereniging nog wel het een en ander uitgezocht zou kunnen worden. Gedurende het onderzoek bleek inderdaad al snel dat de Hollandsche Teekenmaatschappij nog de nodige aandacht verdiende. Vreemd genoeg was er nooit een publicatie verschenen over deze kunstenaarsvereniging, die zich inzette ter promotie van de aquarel. Wel kwam het onderwerp summier aan bod in publicaties van onder andere Saskia de Bodt, Chris Stolwijk en Richard Bionda. Een overzicht, zoals verschenen over andere kunstenaarsverenigingen als Arti et Amicitiae en Pulchri Studio, ontbrak echter nog. Het leek mij de hoogste tijd dat hier verandering in zou komen en zo besloot ik mijn thesis aan de Hollandsche Teekenmaatschappij te gaan wijden.
