Het gaat hier om die leermeesters die een relevante rol hebben gespeeld in de vorming van de leerling, dus niet om alle academieleraren die iemand heeft gehad. Zie ook het veld 'Opleiding'. Rembrandt It is generally assumed that Jan Victors was a pupil of Rembrandt in the second half of the year 1630. His earliest dated paintings date from 1640 (Sumowski vol. 4, nos. 1726, 1785, 1811). There are no 17th-century documents that support a stay in Rembrandt's workshop. The earliest mention concerns a Haarlem inventory from 1722, in which the following is mentioned: 'Een mans portrait door Bol of Fictor, de beste discipelen van Rembrandt' [A mans portrait by Bol or Fictor, the best pupils of Rembrandt] (Biesboer 2002). Leraar van in dit veld worden namen van leerlingen vermeld.

Met navolgers worden kunstenaars bedoeld die het werk van een voorganger in diens geest voortzetten. Dit kan soms zelfs een eeuw later zijn; er is hiervoor geen tijdslimiet.

The theme was given new life in the mid-sixteenth century through the works of the Flemish painters Pieter Aertsen (1508–75) and Joachim Beuckelaer (ca. 1533–ca. 1574), who incorporated slaughtered and disemboweled animals in their vivid renderings of abundantly supplied market stalls, and also explored the theme as an independent motif.[1] The earliest instances of the motif in the Northern Netherlands come only in the seventeenth century, possibly introduced by immigrants from the south. During the early 1640s, the theme of the slaughtered animal—split, splayed, and Fig 1.

  • The Dutch Republic As a Bourgeois Society
    t The Dutch Republic as a Bourgeois Society maarten prak | utrecht university 107­ Historians have often portrayed the Dutch Republic as the first ‘bourgeois’ society. What they had in mind was an early example of a society dominated by bmgn | lchr | volume 125 - 2-3 | 107 - 139 the sort of middle class that emerged in most other European countries after the French and Industrial Revolutions. In this article, ‘bourgeois’ is perceived in a slightly different way. By looking at the ‘bourgeois’ as ‘citizens’ – often, but not necessarily, middle class in a social sense – the article paints a picture of a plethora of blossoming urban civic institutions. Such civic institutions also existed in other European countries. What set the Dutch Republic apart, however, and indeed made it an early example of a ‘bourgeois’ society, was the dominance of these civic institutions in the Republic’s socio-political life. Introduction Johan Huizinga remains Holland’s most famous historian, more than fifty years after his death in 1945. His short book on Dutch Civilisation in the Seventeenth Century, first published in Dutch in 1941, probably remains the single most famous text on this particular episode in Dutch history. In it, Huizinga focuses on one element of Dutch society in particular: its bourgeois [Dutch: burgerlijk] character.1 Few modern historians would quarrel with the characterisation of Dutch society as ‘bourgeois’. However, their interpretation of this key word would probably be radically different from what Huizinga had in mind in 1941. For Huizinga, ‘bourgeois’ was first and foremost a lifestyle, and most likely the lifestyle that he had experienced first-hand himself, as a member of the Dutch upper middle class.

Transoceanic trade routes compounded travel over land for commercial gain, and the distribution of wares took on global dimensions. Precious metals, spices, textiles, and, later, slaves were among the myriad commodities transported from west to east and in some cases back again. Taste followed trade—or so the story tends to be told. This lecture addresses the traffic in global goods in the Dutch world from a different perspective—piracy. “A Taste for Piracy in the Dutch Republic” will present and explore exemplary narratives of piracy and their impact and, more broadly, the contingencies of consumption and taste- making as the result of politically charged violence. Inspired by recent scholarship on ships, shipping, maritime pictures, and piracy this lecture offers a new lens onto the culture of piracy as well as the material goods obtained by piracy, and how their capture informed new patterns of consumption in the Dutch Republic.

    Familial Identity and Site Specificity: A Study of the Hybrid Genre of Seventeenth-Century Dutch Family-Landscape Portraiture By © 2017 Denise Giannino M.A., University College London, 2005 M.A., Florida State University, 2006 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Art History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Linda Stone-Ferrier David Cateforis Stephen Goddard Anne D Hedeman William Keel Date Defended: 3 November 2017 ii The dissertation committee for Denise Giannino certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Familial Identity and Site Specificity: A Study of the Hybrid Genre of Seventeenth-Century Dutch Family-Landscape Portraiture Chair: Linda Stone-Ferrier Date Approved: 3 November 2017 iii Abstract In the seventeenth century, the proliferation of Dutch family portraits among the broad middle class was a distinctive facet of artistic production. Within this visual trend, the vast majority of such paintings present the sitters in outdoor environs rather than the domestic sphere. This dissertation focuses on such images and adopts the term “family-landscape portrait” to highlight the hybrid nature of the images that commemorate a particular family within a specific locale. I consider the particularities of seventeenth-century Dutch family-landscape portraiture as a separate pictorial genre and attend to the ways in which these images construct identity and generate meaning, including through the blending of portraiture and landscape conventions. In order to investigate the complex meanings of family-landscape portraits, this dissertation will consider the images from the perspective of the biographical circumstances of the sitters’ lives; contemporary cultural, socioeconomic and political issues that inflect the choice of symbols or locale; and the pictorial traditions from which the images stem.

  • Rembrandt's Slaughtered Ox
    Alison M. Kettering After Life: Rembrandt’s Slaughtered Ox In the seventeenth century, Amsterdam’s Small Meat Hall in the Nes was a multi-purpose facility. The city rented space to butchers on the ground floor and to surgeons and rhetoricians up above.1 This striking juxtaposition was not lost on contempo- raries. The publisher of Claes Jansz Visscher’s 1611 topographi- cal print of Amsterdam’s two main meat halls [Fig. 1] attached a poem cleverly comparing the surgeons’ treatment of human bodies, the rhetoricians’ engagement with the human spirit, and the butchers’ work below.2 Years after Visscher’s print about the meat halls, a simi- lar juxtaposition of human with animal flesh probably struck Rembrandt as he addressed two related subjects. His splen- did Slaughtered Ox in the Louvre bears the date 1655 [Fig. 2].3 Shortly thereafter, he painted the second of his anatomy pieces, the Anatomy Lesson of Dr Jan Deijman, dated 1656 [Fig. 3], pro- duced several decades after his better known Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp (1632).4 Deijman’s corpse was Joris Fon- teijn, a thief who had been hanged on 28 January 1656. Two days later Fonteijn served as the subject for dissection in the surgeons’ Small Meat Hall theatre. Fonteijn had been arrested in the Sint-Anthoniebreestraat, Rembrandt’s own street, which made his acquaintance with the case likely. He may also have been hoping for such a commission ever since Deijman’s pro- motion to praelector of anatomy in 1653. Once the commis- sion was in hand. Rembrandt must have visited the anatomy Alison M.
