Pretendemos mostrar una selección representativa que destaque la versatilidad, la elevada calidad artística y el carácter innovador del arte de Brouwer. La exposición está estructurada en cuatro grupos temáticos que destacan cada uno un aspecto característico de la obra de Brouwer. A través de estos grupos vamos esbozando la personalidad artística de Adriaen Brouwer. Ofrecemos a los visitantes la oportunidad de vivir de manera interactiva y de cerca la maestría de Brouwer para que vean con otros ojos las obras en la propia exposición. ‘Adriaen Brouwer – un gran maestro indebidamente olvidado a la sombra de Rubens.’ Manfred Sellink (Director KMSKA – Museo Real de Bellas Artes de Amberes) 5 1 BROUWER COMO NUEVO BRUEGEL Este grupo se centra en Brouwer como continuador de la tradición de Bruegel. Las tempranas escenas de campo de Brouwer que presentan campesinos festejando, bebiendo, fumando y peleando se exponen junto con obras de artistas ‘flamencos’ responsables de continuar y alterar el idioma de Bruegel en los Países Bajos del Sur y del Norte a finales del siglo XVI y principios del siglo XVII. No solo se reproducen escenas amenas de ferias, también se destacan representaciones explícitamente negativas de las clases sociales bajas criticándose sobre todo el comer y beber excesivos y sus consecuencias (emborracharse, dormir, vomitar, discutir, pelear, etc.). Se trata de las siguientes obras de Brouwer: • La fiesta de la matanza (aprox. 1630, Staatliches Museum, Schwerin); • Campesinos celebrando (aprox. 1625:26, Kunsthaus Zúrich); • El freidor de crepes (aprox. 1625, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Filadelfia) • Riña de campesinos (aprox. 1630, Mauritshuis, La Haya, un préstamo de larga duración del Rijksmuseum, Ámsterdam). Otros maestros incluidos en este grupo: • Pieter Brueghel el Joven • Jacob Savery • David Vinckboons • otros artistas procedentes de los Países Bajos del Sur algunos de los cuales emigraron a los Países Bajos del Norte. Todos se centraron en las fiestas de los pueblos, 6 las ferias y las riñas en las tabernas. 2 OCIO Y DIVERSIÓN: LAS ALEGRES COMPAÑÍAS DE BROUWER Este grupo junta representaciones de las actividades de ocio de las capas sociales más bajas sin comportamiento excesivo ni violento (cfr. grupo 1). Se trata de escenas pacíficas con grupos de campesinos jugando y tocando música. Durante su estancia en los Países Bajos del Norte, Brouwer acordó los conceptos de imagen del estilo de Bruegel a las tendencias más novedosas tales como las elegantes compañías alegres de Dirck Hals. Brouwer sustituyó los colores vivos originales por una tonalidad más matizada, mejoró el efecto espacial, redujo el número de personajes y aplicó una mejor distribución en la superficie del lienzo. Además, introdujo nuevos temas tales como el consumo de tabaco que se estaba poniendo a la moda en aquella época. Central se encuentra el lienzo de Brouwer Interior con tocador de laúd (aprox. 1627, Victoria & Albert Museum, Londres). Obras adicionales de Brouwer: • Los jugadores de cartas (KMSK, Amberes); • Campesino bebiendo (aprox. 1635, Rubenshuis, Amberes); • Fumadores en una taberna (aprox. 1627/30, National Museum Warsaw, Varsovia). Los artistas incluidos en este grupo procedentes del entorno directo de Brouwer: • Frans Hals, Dirck Hals y Willem Pietersz. Buytewech • otros artistas de los Países Bajos del Norte de comienzos del siglo XVII (p. ej. Esaias van de Velde, Fiesta en jardín, 1619, Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem; Dirck Hals, Alegre sociedad, aprox. 1628, Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf; Willem Pietersz. Buytewech, 7 Alegre compañía, aprox. 1622/24, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Berlín). 3 MAESTRO DE EMOCIONES: CABEZAS Y (AUTO)RETRATOS DE BROUWER Gracias a su inigualada representación de las emociones humanas Brouwer cambió radicalmente la tradición pictórica. Estas innovaciones se aprecian más que todo en las llamadas ‘tronies’ o cabezas grotescas. Las tronies, concebidas como el rostro de un individuo y de un tipo, expresan los sentimientos y caracteres de manera acertada. El creciente interés de Brouwer por las emociones y las expresiones faciales se debe, quizás, a su implicación en las cámaras de retórica. ‘Adriaen Brouwer is more than a cliché. He stands for the portrayal of emotions and temperament at the highest possible level.’ Manfred Sellink (director of KMSKA) Lo ilustran obras tales como: • Campesino con bicornio y jarra ((años 1630, Kunstmuseum, Basilia); • Hombre gordo (aprox. 1634/37, Mauritshuis, La Haya); • Retrato de un campesino cortándose la uña (aprox. 1630/38, colección Kremer). También son características las representaciones por Brouwer de Los sentidos, muy distintas de las representaciones tradicionales de los cinco sentidos. Las obras de Brouwer exhibidas: • El tacto (Alte Pinakothek, Múnich); • La operación de espalda (aprox. 1632/36, Städel Museum, Frankfurt); • El olfato (aprox. 1631, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen,

In 1635, Brouwer depicted these artists in a tavern scene, Smokers, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (fig 1).[2] The most inspirational of them for Lievens was Brouwer, who apparently encouraged Lievens to depict, once again, rough peasant types comparable to those he Fig 1.

Introduction Karel van Mander stated in his Schilder-boeck that painters at the time were accustomed to applying their paint more thickly than before; hence, their paintings were made seemingly of stone relief.1 At the same time, he used the terms “uneven and rough (oneffen en rouw)” and “beautifully, neat and clear (schoon, net en blijde)” as two contrasting manners in the application of paint.2 His comment is followed by a well-known passage referring to Titian’s earlier style, executed “with incredible neatness (met onghelooflijcke netticheyt)” and his later one, “with stains and rough strokes (met vlecken en rouw’ streken)”. In 1604, when van Mander was writing the above passage, it was uncommon among Netherlandish painters to paint so thickly that their paintings might be compared to a relief. Nevertheless, in Lives of the Northern Painters, van Mander mentioned two painters who applied their paint so thick that the canvas could not be rolled or had to be scraped off,3 although such rough manner was more tightly connected to the Italian style. In any event, the dichotomy of the neatness and the roughness of application of the paint was introduced into Netherlandish art theory at the time.

  • The Connections of the Thematical and Interpretational Question
    Annamária Gosztola The Interconnections of the Thematical and Interpreational Questions of Flemish Baroque Painting in the Mirror of Dutch Realist Painting Doctoral theses 2007 Introduction The Katalog der Galerie alter Meister. Museum der Bildenden Künste by Andor Pigler, the former General Director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, published in 1967, is an indispensable, fundamental publication on the collection of the Old Masters’ Gallery, used even today. The vast, nearly unfollowable growth of the literature and the enrichment of the gallery with new acquisitions since its publishing necessitated its updating. In the spirit of this endeavour, the so-called summary catalogues of the collection have been produced, which contain new attributions, research results and bibliographical data complemented with the reproductions of all the works of art. Parallel to this “fire-extinguishing work” and under the pressure of the international tendencies, the demand for catalogues raisonnés, fully working up the collection, has more and more often arisen since the 1990s. The volume treating the Gallery’s Dutch and Flemish still lifes by Ildikó Ember as well as that discussing the Dutch and Flemish portraits by Rudi Ekkart, head of the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie, the Hague, are soon to be published. Six chapters of this present dissertation, giving an overview of the history of research and provenance history and containing the emphatic discussion of some more significant works as well as the scholarly treatment of the seventeenth to eighteenth century Flemish genre paintings of the Museum of Fine Arts, form a part of this large-scale professional enterprise. Chapter 1: The history of research of Dutch and Flemish genre painting in the past decades Chapter I of the dissertation contains the past decades’ history of research of Dutch and Flemish genre painting along with its literature and is complemented, in a gap-filling way, with the scholary results of Hungarian experts in this field.

  • 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.

D. Reader: Diane Mankin, Ph. D. Reader: Mikiko Hirayama, Ph. D. Abstract During the seventeenth century, the Flemish painter Adriaen Brouwer (1605/6-1638) specialized in low-life images of peasants indulging themselves in forbidden activities such as drinking, smoking, and fighting. A unique element of his work is the expressive body gestures and grotesque facial expressions of the figures. Chapter one addresses several questions such as why Brouwer chose this type of genre and whether or not there is symbolic and moralizing meaning incorporated into his work. Chapter two, three, and four are separated by each indulgence – drinking, smoking, and fighting. In these three chapters, I conduct a formal analysis, with a small portion of iconographical interpretation, of a selection of his peasant scenes within the socio-historical context of the Low Countries during the last period of his career, 1631-1638.
