Portrait of Christian II of Denmark
Joos van Cleve Portrait of Christian II of Denmark 20 x 15 cm (7 ⁷/ x 5 ⁷/ inches) Oil on panel Dated 1521/ 1523 16th Century Flemish School To know more about this discovery, you can read the following book by M. Leeflang Description This intriguing portrait of King Christian II has been recently discovered by Micha Leeflang and fully attributed as an autograph work by Joos Van Cleve. According to Micha Leeflang, it is one of the portraits made of the king during his trip to the Low Countries in 1521. We know from Durer’s diary that the king, whom he calls “Nero of the north”, was at the time in Antwerp and that he drew a portrait of him, which we now conserve. The king was so pleased with it that he asked to accompany him to Brussels and render another portrait in oil painting which now unfortunately has been lost. It is then when the king must have known Bernard Van Orley who did another portrait of him. (it could be the portrait attributed to Van Orley in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum of Madrid). We are also aware that Quentin Metsys, generally recognized as the most distinguished painter of Antwerp, also painted a portrait of the king in Antwerp. Joos Van Cleve, at the time, was Dean of the guild of painters of the city and, therefore, a person of great prestige who logically could have painted another portrait of the king which is precisely the one we are now studying. (All these portraits, as well as the one painted by Cranach in Wuttemberg,1523, have been exhibited all together for the first time in the National Museum of Copenhagen in July 2017).

Michiel Coxcie's Artistic Quotations in the Death of Abel
CHAPTER 10 Michiel Coxcie’s Artistic Quotations in The Death of Abel Christopher D. M. Atkins Despite being in the Spanish royal collection since the late sixteenth century and having inspired Peter Paul Rubens, Michiel Coxcie’s (1499–1592) Death of Abel (Fig. 10.1) has yet to be the subject of sustained inquiry, perhaps because, until recently, it has been in desperate need of cleaning and therefore resided in storage at the Museo del Prado.1 This essay will shine new light upon this newly cleaned picture by focusing on how it reveals Coxcie’s complex use of artistic sources. The Death of Abel was painted after 1539. Coxcie spent the 1530s in Italy before returning to Mechelen where he joined the guild of St. Luke on 11 September 1539.2 Upon his return north, Coxcie applied the rules and aesthet- ics he had seen in Italy but employed them with traditional northern European methods, shifting from fresco to painting in oil. Miguel Falomir has argued that the Death of Abel was painted after 1548 due to its correspondences to Titian’s Tityus that was commissioned in 1548 by Mary of Hungary for her palace at Binche.3 Indeed the intense focus on an upended heroic figure whose heroic form had been subject to brutally painful physical assault is shared by the two pictures. In 1546, Mary of Hungary appointed Coxcie to the position of court painter following the death of Bernard van Orley. Coxcie who contributed sev- eral canvases to the decorations at Binche no doubt had the pleasure of seeing Titian’s monumental painting in situ, but it is not clear if this opportunity hap- pened before he painted the Death of Abel.

The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles (Courtesy of the J. Paul Getty Museum) HNA Newsletter, Vol. 23, No. 2, November 2006 1 From the President In Memoriam I begin this brief editorial on a sad note: I recently learned of the death this past July of our colleague, Cynthia Lawrence, after an extremely lengthy and exhausting battle with cancer. To those of us who knew her, we fondly remember a first-rate scholar and, more importantly, a first-rate person who enriched the lives of all of us who were fortunate enough to have befriended her. She will be sorely missed. Please be sure to read the obituary that our colleague, Barbara Haeger, prepared especially for this issue of the Newsletter. I have recently returned to teaching and administrative duties here at Syracuse University after having enjoyed a sabbatical during the 2005-06 academic year. Despite the added work loads and constraints on my already limited time, this re-entry into academe has been thoroughly enjoyable. Instead of spending the entire year myopically focused on the topic of my own research – Hendrick ter Brugghen – my renewed responsibilities have forced me to think in much broader terms about our discipline, more specifically, about the various fields in which our membership curates, teaches, and writes.

Cecilia Paredes, the Confusion of the Battlefield. a New Perspective On
RIHA Journal 0102 | 28 December 2014 The Confusion of the Battlefield. A New Perspective on the Tapestries of the Battle of Pavia (c. 1525-1531) Cecilia Paredes Editing and peer review managed by: Simon Laevers, Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA), Brussels Reviewers: Ingrid De Meûter, Elsje Janssen Abstract This contribution is devoted to the tapestry cycle of the Battle of Pavia conserved at the Museo Capodimonte in Naples. Seven tapestries compose this prestigious tapestry set that commemorates the first military success of Charles V: the battle held in Pavia on 24 February 1525. Up to now the tapestries have been interpreted as independent panels representing different episodes of the battle. In this contribution we will show that the seven panels actually originated in one single design, which we rediscovered by assembling them in a different sequence. In fact, the panels provide a description of the battle in a fabulous and unique panoramic landscape: the most monumental siege city view ever conceived in the sixteenth century. This discovery not only changes our lecture of the tapestries, but also raises numerous questions that should be addressed in future studies. Contents Introduction The Battle of Pavia and the tapestries From disorder to order A new perspective on the tapestries The landscape in the related drawings The tapestries of Pavia and the iconography of the battle Conclusions Introduction [1] On the upper floor of the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, located on the heights of Naples, the visitor can lose himself for hours in the contemplation of the seven tapestries that are on permanent display in the "Sala dell' Arazzi":1 the tapestry set of the Battle of Pavia.

Michiel Coxcie
Leuven, October 2013 MICHIEL COXCIE The Flemisch Raphael 31.10.2013 >< 23.02.2014 Michiel Coxcie, right wing St. Luke Altarpiece, Saint John the Evangelist Michiel Coxcie, Saint Cecilia © Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado © National Gallery Praag 2013 M – Museum Leuven presents the very first retrospective exhibition devoted to the Flemish master Michiel Coxcie (1499 – 1592) from 31st October 2013 until 23rd February 2014. Michiel Coxcie was one of the most influential painters in the sixteenth-century Low Countries. His nickname the ‘Flemish Raphael’ illustrates just how highly his talent was rated at that time. During his lifetime he was compared to the greatest Italian renaissance artist Raphael. Exhibition curators: Prof. Dr. Koenraad Jonckheere, University of Ghent Dr. Peter Carpreau, Head of the Old Masters Department at M – Museum Leuven 1 2 INTRODUCTION Though few people today are familiar with his name, Michiel Coxcie was probably one of the most important painters in the Netherlands in the sixteenth century. His nickname, the “Flemish Raphael”, illustrates just how highly his art was rated. He was compared to the greatest renaissance master and regarded by some as his match. The position Coxcie occupied was on a par with that of Rubens and other great masters. Coxcie was born at the end of the fifteenth century and died in 1592 at the age of 93 following a fall from scaffolding. He was restoring one of his paintings in the Town Hall in Antwerp when he lost his balance. So his career spanned almost the whole of the tumultuous sixteenth century: from the Reformation and the Iconoclasm to the Catholic answer to that.
