The interaction of and, indeed, reliance on artists from Continental Europe Boit, Charles 54 Le Piper, Francis 17 was vital in the development of what was to become an influential and identifiable national artistic aesthetic. This exhibition represents a survey based on works largely Boitard, Louis Pierre 75, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83 Lely, Sir Peter 7, 52 produced from about 1600 to the 1750s. No commercial exercise of this kind, especially Buck, Samuel 38 Lens, Bernard 12, 15, 49 given the rarity of this material, is ever going to be comprehensive but it does give us a broad and representative narrative of artistic activity in England during this period as Byng, Edward 56, 57 Luttrell, Edward 10 well as a rare opportunity for collectors and museums to acquire significant works in Byron, William 67 Marot, Daniel 46 this area.

Whilst a series of sheets demonstrate the intellectual collecting and scholarship in the field. Since 1969 there has been a steady decline in – and visual – ambition of painters producing historical compositions long before the interest. This exhibition, and its accompanying catalogue, offer an opportunity to look advent of London’s exhibition societies. Preparing this exhibition has thrown into relief a afresh at works that have been surprisingly neglected by the market and collectors, both sense that we constantly undervalue the role drawings played in the life of early modern private and institutional. We began to assemble material for this project over a decade Britain and in the development of the arts in particular. ago, realising, as Witt, Oppé, Duke and Ingram had, that drawings made in Britain We are enormously grateful to the community of scholars who continue to work in, to before 1750 are frequently not only very beautiful, but tell an important story about quote Waterhouse again, this ‘unfashionable’ area.

  • 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.

  • Microscopy and Archival Research: Interpreting Results Within the Context of Historical Records and Traditional Practice
    Microscopy and archival research: interpreting results within the context of historical records and traditional practice Jane Davies 32 ISSUE 3 SEPT 2006 The analysis of paint samples is an invaluable tool in the armoury of historic paint research. However, powerful as the techniques of pigment, cross-sectional and instrumental analysis may be, they cannot always provide complete answers to the questions posed. Historical records relating to specific buildings and projects, as well as painters’ manuals recording traditional painting techniques can offer clues which are vital to solving analysis puzzles. Historical text records which are particular to buildings and/or paintings can provide definitive dates for paint schemes which could otherwise only be dated approximately if key ‘marker’ pigments with known dates of introduction or obsolescence are present. Reference sources may be useful in suggesting or guiding proposed research and conversely, sample analysis can lead to a reassessment of archive records and a refinement of their interpretation.
