    REPRODUCTION in the Summer of 1695, Johann Wilhelm, Elector

    CHAPTER EIGHT REPRODUCTION In the summer of 1695, Johann Wilhelm, Elector Palatine, visited Frederik Ruysch’s museum, where he undoubtedly saw paintings by Ruysch’s daughters, particularly those done by Rachel. At this time Rachel had just given birth to her first child, but motherhood had not prevented her from continuing her career as a painter. Her sister Anna had given up painting when she married, but Rachel had carried on, and could meanwhile demand high prices for her flower still lifes. In 1699 her success was formally recognized when she became the first woman elected to membership in Pictura, the painters’ confraternity in The Hague. In 1656 the Hague painters had withdrawn from the Guild of St Luke, having been prompted to do so by ‘arrogance’, according to their former guild-brothers, who included the house-painters and decora- tors. The new society was limited to ‘artist-painters’, sculptors, engrav- ers and a few art lovers. According to the new confraternity’s rules and regulations, the guildhall was to be decorated with the members’ own paintings. On 4 June 1701, the painter Jurriaan Pool presented the confraternity with a flower piece by his wife, Rachel Ruysch. Painters often gave a work on loan, but this painting was donated to Pictura, and a subsequent inventory of its possessions listed ‘an especially fine flower painting by Miss Rachel Ruysch’.1 Rachel Many of Rachel Ruysch’s clients were wealthy. The high prices she charged them enabled her to concentrate on only a few pieces a year, each of which took several months to complete.
  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)

    Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)

    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

    A Guide for Holders of the International Association of Art Card Prepared with Contributions from the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (Slovenská Výtvarná Únia) 2017

    A guide for holders of the International Association of Art card Prepared with contributions from the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (Slovenská výtvarná únia) 2017 The International Association of Art (IAA/AIAP) is a non-governmental organization working in official partnership with UNESCO. Its objectives are to stimulate international cooperation among visual artists of all countries, nations or peoples, to improve the socio-economic position of artists nationally and internationally, and to defend their material and moral rights. The IAA issues identity cards to professional visual artists. This card allows free or discounted admission to many galleries and museums in countries around the world. The card is a tool for the lifelong education of artists in their professional artistic research. These institutions, large or small, recognize the benefit they gain from enabling the artists, like art critics and journalists, to visit exhibitions, art events and collections of art, to carry on research, and to gain inspiration. As a member within the IAA network, CARFAC National issues IAA cards exclusively to Canadian professional artists that are members of CARFAC upon request. Only National Committees of the IAA may issue the card. Where to use the IAA card This document includes a chart detailing selected institutions that offer free or discounted admission prices, or other perks to IAA card holders while travelling abroad. This information was obtained from surveying recent users of the card and IAA National Committees worldwide, and is updated regularly – most recently in 2017 by the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (SUVA). Users will find that different areas in Europe are more receptive to the card than others.
  • The Collecting, Dealing and Patronage Practices of Gaspare Roomer

    The Collecting, Dealing and Patronage Practices of Gaspare Roomer

    ART AND BUSINESS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY NAPLES: THE COLLECTING, DEALING AND PATRONAGE PRACTICES OF GASPARE ROOMER by Chantelle Lepine-Cercone A thesis submitted to the Department of Art History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (November, 2014) Copyright ©Chantelle Lepine-Cercone, 2014 Abstract This thesis examines the cultural influence of the seventeenth-century Flemish merchant Gaspare Roomer, who lived in Naples from 1616 until 1674. Specifically, it explores his art dealing, collecting and patronage activities, which exerted a notable influence on Neapolitan society. Using bank documents, letters, artist biographies and guidebooks, Roomer’s practices as an art dealer are studied and his importance as a major figure in the artistic exchange between Northern and Sourthern Europe is elucidated. His collection is primarily reconstructed using inventories, wills and artist biographies. Through this examination, Roomer emerges as one of Naples’ most prominent collectors of landscapes, still lifes and battle scenes, in addition to being a sophisticated collector of history paintings. The merchant’s relationship to the Spanish viceregal government of Naples is also discussed, as are his contributions to charity. Giving paintings to notable individuals and large donations to religious institutions were another way in which Roomer exacted influence. This study of Roomer’s cultural importance is comprehensive, exploring both Northern and Southern European sources. Through extensive use of primary source material, the full extent of Roomer’s art dealing, collecting and patronage practices are thoroughly examined. ii Acknowledgements I am deeply thankful to my thesis supervisor, Dr. Sebastian Schütze.

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.

Vice and Destitution in Rome, in the Grandes Galeries from 7 October 2014 to 18 January 2015 . Curators are Francesca Cappelletti, professor of history of modern art at the University of Ferrara and Annick Lemoine, officer in charge of the Art history Department at the French Academy in Rome, lecturer at the University of Rennes 2. The exhibition has been conceived and organized within the framework of a collaboration between the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici and the Petit Palais, Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris, where it will be shown from 24 February to 24 May 2015. The Baroque Underworld reveals the insolent dark side of Baroque Rome, its slums, taverns, places of perdition. An "upside down Rome", tormented by vice, destitution, all sorts of excesses that underlie an amazing artistic production, all of which left their mark of paradoxes and inventions destined to subvert the established order. This is the first exhibition to present this neglected aspect of artistic creation at the time of Caravaggio and Claude Lorrain’s Roman period, unveiling the clandestine face of the Papacy’s capital, which was both sumptuous and virtuosic, as well as the dark side of the artists who lived there.

ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 THE PETRIFYING GAZE OF MEDUSA: AMBIVALENCE, EKPLEXIS, AND THE SUBLIME Caroline van Eck The Dutch art theorists Junius and van Hoogstraten describe the sublime, much more explicitly and insistently than in Longinus’s text, as the power of images to petrify the viewer and to stay fixed in their memory. This effect can be related to Longinus’s distinction between poetry and prose. Prose employs the strategy of enargeia; poetry that of ekplexis, or shattering the listener or reader. This essay traces the notion of ekplexis in Greek rhetoric, particularly in Hermogenes, and shows the connections in etymology, myth, and pictorial traditions, between the petrifying powers of art and the myth of Medusa.
