Lucas van Leyden Prints Frcm The Testaments LaSalle College Art Museum March 1 - April 30, 1984 For many years, students of In. Salle College had the privilege of pursuing a course in the history of graphic art at the Alverthorpe Gallery in nearby Jenkintown. Lessing Rosenwald himself would on occasion join our Professor Ihomas Ridington or Herman Gundersheimer and the students for an afternoon with Rerrbrandt, Durer, or Lucas van Leyden. After Mr. Rosenwald's death and the transfer of his collection to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the course had to be pursued, it need hardly be said, in much reduced circunstances. But the present exhibition, which returns many of Mr. Rosenwald's Lucas van Leyden prints from the National Gallery to the Rosenwald Roc*n in the La Salle Museum, recreates briefly for us the happy circumstances of earlier, halcyon days.

  • Following the Early Modern Engraver, 1480-1650 September 18, 2009-January 3, 2010
    The Brilliant Line: Following the Early Modern Engraver, 1480-1650 September 18, 2009-January 3, 2010 When the first engravings appeared in southern Germany around 1430, the incision of metal was still the domain of goldsmiths and other metalworkers who used burins and punches to incise armor, liturgical objects, and jewelry with designs. As paper became widely available in Europe, some of these craftsmen recorded their designs by printing them with ink onto paper. Thus the art of engraving was born. An engraver drives a burin, a metal tool with a lozenge-shaped tip, into a prepared copperplate, creating recessed grooves that will capture ink. After the plate is inked and its flat surfaces wiped clean, the copperplate is forced through a press against dampened paper. The ink, pulled from inside the lines, transfers onto the paper, printing the incised image in reverse. Engraving has a wholly linear visual language. Its lines are distinguished by their precision, clarity, and completeness, qualities which, when printed, result in vigorous and distinctly brilliant patterns of marks. Because lines once incised are very difficult to remove, engraving promotes both a systematic approach to the copperplate and the repetition of proven formulas for creating tone, volume, texture, and light. The history of the medium is therefore defined by the rapid development of a shared technical knowledge passed among artists dispersed across Renaissance and Baroque (Early Modern) Europe—from the Rhine region of Germany to Florence, Nuremberg, Venice, Rome, Antwerp, and Paris. While engravers relied on systems of line passed down through generations, their craft was not mechanical.

The Devotio Moderna, which took hold especially in the Low Countries and Germany, emphasised a systematic and personal approach to prayer.3 Devotional images, which could engage with believers on a one-on-one, personal level, were majorly important features of way of practising religion, and the use of images as foci for devotion was encouraged by many writers, not only Thomas à Kempis, but also

  • In 1590, the Dutch Painter and Printmaker Hendrick Goltzius (Fig. 1)
    THE BEER OF BACCHUS VISUAL STRATEGIES AND MORAL VALUES IN HENDRICK GOLTzius’ REPRESENTATIONS OF SINE CERERE ET LIBERO FRIGET VENUS Ricardo De Mambro Santos n 1590, the Dutch painter and printmaker Hendrick Goltzius (Fig. 1) created a sim- Iple yet refined composition representing a motif directly borrowed from Terence’s Eunuchus, namely the sentence Sine Cerere et Libero friget Venus (« Without Ceres and 1 Bacchus, Venus would freeze »). Sixteen years later, around 1606, after having depicted several times the same subject in very different compositions, the master elaborated his last representation of this theme in a most monumental pen werck (‘pen work’), in which he included a self-portrait staring at the viewer and holding in both hands the 2 tools of his metamorphic art : the burins. Many scholarly publications have correctly identified the textual source of these works and, therefore, analysed Goltzius’ visual constructions in strict relation to Terence’s play, stressing that the sentence was used 3 « to describe wine and food as precondition for love ». In spite of such a systematic attention, however, no research has been undertaken in the attempt to historically interpret Goltzius’ works within their original context of production, in connection with the social, artistic and economic boundaries of their first ambient of reception, the towns of Haarlem and Amsterdam at the turn of the centuries. As I shall demonstrate in this paper, the creation of such a coherent corpus of prints, drawings and paintings is directly associated

Abstract Renaissance Futures: Chance, Prediction, and Play in Northern European Visual Culture, c. 1480-1550 By Jessen Lee Kelly Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth Honig, Chair This dissertation examines the relationships between chance and visual culture during the Northern Renaissance, focusing on the use of images in the deliberate, ritualized application of chance in games and divination. I argue that, prior to the development of probability theory in the seventeenth century, images served a critical function in encountering and negotiating uncertainties about the future. The casting of lots for prognostication and play was nothing new in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Yet, aided in part by the growing print industry, the period witnessed the development of new and varied forms for these practices, forms that were increasingly pictorial in character.

Gift of Charles R. Crane, 13.1.1 Fall 2020 Faculty Curriculum: Resiliency and Surviving Trauma Artist Biography Few surviving archival documents provide us with details of the life and career of the painter Colijn de Coter (Netherlandish, ca. 1455—ca. 1538/1539). His name is mentioned in the contracts for two artworks (both of which are now lost or unidentified) and is inscribed on only three surviving paintings, although more have been attributed to him (like the Chazen’s painting). His birthdate can be extrapolated from the information presented in a later document dated 1479 in which he is described as a married painter and the tenant of a house in Brussels. He appears registered as a free master with the painters’ Guild of St. Luke in Antwerp as “Colyn van Brusele” (Colin of Brussels), who was commissioned to paint the vault of a chapel near Mechelen. The account books of the Brussels Confraternity of St. Eligius record that the artist was paid for a painting between 1509 and 1511. He likely died in or shortly before 1538-39. Known at the time as the “Low Countries,” the areas of present-day Belgium (including Brussels), Luxembourg, and the Netherlands were under the rule of the duchy of Burgundy from the end of the fourteenth to the end of the fifteenth centuries, along with Northern France.
