Selection of Texts from the Catalogue With the collaboration: . And with the support of : SELECTION OF TEXTS FROM THE CATALOGUE Norbert Middelkoop, curator of the exhibition “(…) In the artist’s earliest biography, dating from 1641, Jan Orlers describes it as follows: “And because his work and art had greatly pleased and impressed the citizens and residents of Amsterdam, and because he received frequent portrait commissions, as well as requests for other pictures, he decided to move from Leiden to Amsterdam. Accordingly, he left here in about 1630 and took up residence there, and is still living there in the year 1641.” This passage suggests that Rembrandt’s change of address from Leiden to Amsterdam was substantially due to the portrait commissions that awaited him there. And to think that the young artist had not really painted any actual portraits in Leiden, apart from a few self- portraits and tronies ! It is assumed that Rembrandt’s career in Amsterdam took off thanks to Hendrick Uylenburgh (1584/89–1661), the far older cousin to Rembrandt’s later-to-be wife Saskia (1612–1642). The art dealer most likely invited the painter to Amsterdam with the prospect of work, which would consist mainly of the production of portraits. Uylenburgh must have played a crucial role as an intermediary for the commission of the Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp of 1632, an early highlight in Rembrandt’s oeuvre due to its innovative composition and narrative qualities. (…) Rembrandt was not alone in this practice, however, nor was he an isolated genius. In order to do him justice as a portrait painter and to be able to acknowledge his contribution to the genre, he should best be compared to other portraitists active in Amsterdam, something all authors contributing to this volume attempt to do. Before he arrived in Amsterdam, highly skilled and innovative painters such as Frans Badens, Cornelis van der Voort, and Werner van den Valckert had been taking advantage of the growing demand for portraits in that city during the first decades of the seventeenth century, followed by Nicolaes Eliasz Pickenoy and Thomas de Keyser. Their talents were able to flourish thanks to the booming Dutch economy, creating wealth among many. They were keenly sought after by those who needed their houses and meeting places fittingly decorated, from private individuals – whether they belonged to established Amsterdam families or were new immigrants – to civic organizations and institutions. Portraits became a necessity to anyone with enough wall space who strove to be remembered. (…) Rembrandt’s exceptional achievements as a portrait painter can be better understood when we take into account that his ambitions did not initially lie in the field of portraiture. The biggest challenge for him, as for many artists, was the depiction of ‘histories’, stories from the Bible, classical antiquity, and mythology. In art theory, history painting was held in the highest esteem on account of the elevated subject matter, as well as the erudition and versatility it required from the artist. Crucial to the narration was choosing the right moment in the story, preferably a dramatic turn. Rembrandt’s most important contribution to 1 Amsterdam portraiture is without a doubt that, whenever it was at all possible, he applied the rules of history painting to his portraits. (…)Rembrandt’s bold and at times sketchy brushwork, especially visible in his tronies and later portraits, has triggered much speculation about the artist’s aims: did he mean to depict the character of his sitters rather than their likeness? Although modern day scholars tend to keep their feet firmly planted on the ground when it comes to interpreting brush strokes as emotions, it cannot be denied that to most museum visitors, the secret attraction of Rembrandt’s portraits and tronies lies in these mysterious qualities, even after three hundred and fifty years. However, his true contribution to portraiture can only be valued when it is compared with the many excellent achievements of his contemporaries. Like other Amsterdam portrait painters, Rembrandt operated in a market that was subject to the laws of supply and demand, wherein the expectations of clients differed from each other and continually altered. Having initially been the leading artist in this field, with the passing of the years Rembrandt became estranged from the prevailing taste. Yet in our days, Rembrandt keeps surprising us, also as a portraitist, because throughout his career he never ceased to make the interplay with his clients and colleagues subject to his own unconventional artistry.” Rembrandt, a Timeless Genius, Dolores Delgado Rembrandt goes so deep into the mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language. Letter from Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo, October 1885 “(…) Rembrandt always remained true to his convictions, though: he was absolutely innovative and paid no heed to market demands. When in 1645 tastes shifted toward a more elaborate style, Rembrandt continued to evolve as an independently working artist, uninfluenced by the new trends. That is why he has been dubbed a rebel and non-conformist, a person who did not obey the dictates of society or the established rules . Rembrandt painted himself from the start of his career to the end of his days, from the time he was a young, successful artist until he became a wise old man battered by life’s storms. The characterizations with which he appears in these works, especially his attire, are highly varied: he presented himself to the world dressed as a burgher, a beggar, an apostle, and a painter proud of his profession. Art lovers and collectors experienced great pleasure on discovering his self-portraits in history paintings, and the idea that his creation stemmed from internal, self-analytical reasons has thus been ruled out. (…) Rembrandt was highly influential on the art of his time, teaching many pupils his manner of painting. (…)His apprentices came not only from the Dutch Republic but also from abroad, like Christoph Paudiss (about 1630−1666), who was German. His last known apprence was Aert de Gelder (1645−1727). In like manner, Rembrandt significantly influenced painting in the nineteenth century, when he was rediscovered by artists such as Eugène Delacroix and Honoré Daumier. He also impacted the work of twentieth-century artists, among them Marc Chagall, Francis Bacon, and Chaïm Soutine, to name but a few. Soutine painted several versions of Rembrandt’s Slaughtered Ox as a tribute to the artist. Vincent van Gogh was deeply impressed by Rembrandt’s Jewish Bride when he visited Amsterdam in October 1885, as he told his brother Theo. Great Spanish artists like Goya and Picasso also regarded him as an example, as evidenced by a comparison of their self-portraits. Picasso’s Portrait (Rembrandt and Saskia) is 2 linked to Rembrandt’s etched Self-Portrait with Saskia. Antonio Saura too mentions the artist in a book of essays. Rembrandt’s vast influence also extends to other artistic fields such as literatura and film. To name but one example, Antonio Muñoz Molina revealed the importance of the artist’s Polish Rider in the Frick Collection in New York, after which he named one of his best-known novels. In addition, the painter has inspired several documentaries and films. Rembrandt’s artistic legacy is incredibly vast, extending to drawing and also etching – a technique he mastered with extraordinary skill and in which he was as innovative as he was in painting. The thick and visible brushstrokes – a characteristic of his last period – are highly modern. The same technique is found in the Jewish Bride of about 1665, where the materiality of the impasto conveys an extraordinarily lifelike impression. Rembrandt was an outstanding artist, a genius of his age followed and admired during his lifetime and by later generations of artists, and he has had a profound influence on the history of art. Even today, three hundred and fifty years after his death, we continue admiring his fascinating work.” Rembrandt and Portraiture in Amsterdam, Rudi Ekkart and Claure van den Donk “(…) Once the city of Amsterdam became a Calvinist stronghold in 1578, commissions for altarpieces with donor portraits practically disappeared, whereas the demand for other types of likenesses increased exponentially. The potential clients were many. Firstly, there was the elite who played a role in the city council: the burgomasters, aldermen, members of the Council of Forty ( veertigraad ), and their often plentiful relations. In addition, there were innumerable Amsterdam citizens who had made a fortune through trade and manufacturing, but who had not yet permeated governmental circles. The city also had countless patricians who could not occupy a position in the local government owing to their deviant religion (Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Remonstrant). In short, in seventeenth-century Amsterdam there were thousands of potential clients looking to contract painters to make portraits of themselves and their families. (…)A booming city with a high demand for portraits, Amsterdam attracted artists like a magnet. They came from outside the city walls – from other cities in the Dutch Republic, but also from foreign countries – to live in Amsterdam temporarily or for long periods of time. During the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, a wave of painters from Antwerp and the rest of the Southern Netherlands moved to the North. This migration was partly due to their religious beliefs but it also had to do with better economic prospects there. Later in the seventeenth century, artists from Germany, England, France, and other countries moved to Amsterdam too. Their arrival in the Republic was mostly motivated by their high expectations of success, but could also be the consequence of political circumstances, such as the Thirty Years’ War (1618–48) in Central Europe and the Civil War (1642–51) in England.

It is collective and individual research for perspicacity and the origins of religion, mythology, and personal self-identity. Alchemy is at once a symbolic consciousness of substantial forms and a symbolic utterance of the spiritual and psychological transformations of the spirit, became a connection between wisdom and art. The artist has been given the possibility of integrating his outward and inward creation, his subject matter and his creative activity. Painting and other visual arts are one intent example of communication between physical and psychological world, and other is alchemy. If we look back at the whole art history existence, the appearance of art and artist, just like alchemist, seems a curious phenomenon indeed, an ethereal secret that cannot easily be explained in terms of contemporary lexicon that we may real understand. While the thrust of this study is directed at elucidating the history of alchemy and system of symbols, every chapter includes explicable the form of symbols from the origin of traditions.

The theme was given new life in the mid-sixteenth century through the works of the Flemish painters Pieter Aertsen (1508–75) and Joachim Beuckelaer (ca. 1533–ca. 1574), who incorporated slaughtered and disemboweled animals in their vivid renderings of abundantly supplied market stalls, and also explored the theme as an independent motif.[1] The earliest instances of the motif in the Northern Netherlands come only in the seventeenth century, possibly introduced by immigrants from the south. During the early 1640s, the theme of the slaughtered animal—split, splayed, and Fig 1.

  • During the Seventeenth Century, Dutch Portraits Were Actively Commissioned by Corporate Groups and by Individuals from a Range of Economic and Social Classes
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-69803-1 - Public Faces and Private Identities in Seventeenth-Century Holland: Portraiture and the Production of Community Ann Jensen Adams Frontmatter More information PUBLIC FACES AND PRIVATE IDENTITIES IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY HOLLAND During the seventeenth century, Dutch portraits were actively commissioned by corporate groups and by individuals from a range of economic and social classes. They became among the most important genres of painting. Not merely mimetic representations of their subjects, many of these works create a new dialogic rela- tionship with the viewer. In this study, Ann Jensen Adams examines four portrait genres – individuals, family, history portraits, and civic guards. She analyzes these works in relation to inherited visual traditions; contemporary art theory; chang- ing cultural beliefs about the body, sight, and the image itself; and current events. Adams argues that as individuals became unmoored from traditional sources of identity, such as familial lineage, birthplace, and social class, portraits helped them to find security in a self-aware subjectivity and the new social structures that made possible the “economic miracle” that has come to be known as the Dutch Golden Age. Ann Jensen Adams is associate professor of art history at the University of California, Santa Barbara. A scholar of Dutch painting, she curated the exhibi- tion Dutch Paintings from New York Private Collections (1988) and edited Rembrandt’s “Bathsheba Reading David’s Letter” (1998). She has contributed essays to numer- ous exhibition catalogues and essay collections including Leselust.

  • 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.

  • Keyser, Thomas De Dutch, 1596 - 1667
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century Keyser, Thomas de Dutch, 1596 - 1667 BIOGRAPHY Thomas de Keyser was the second son of Hendrick de Keyser (1565–1621), the famed Dutch architect, sculptor, and municipal stonemason of the city of Amsterdam, and his wife Beyken (Barbara) van Wildere, who hailed from Antwerp.[1] The family lived in a house that was part of the municipal stone yard along the Amstel River, between the Kloveniersburgwal and the Groenburgwal.[2] Thomas and his brothers Pieter and Willem were trained by their father in architecture, and each also became a highly regarded master stonemason and stone merchant in his own right. On January 10, 1616, the approximately 19-year-old Thomas became one of his father’s apprentices. As he must already have become proficient at the trade while growing up at the Amsterdam stone yard, the formal two-year apprenticeship that followed would have fulfilled the stonemasons’ guild requirements.[3] Thomas, however, achieved his greatest prominence as a painter and became the preeminent portraitist of Amsterdam’s burgeoning merchant class, at least until the arrival of Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606 - 1669) in 1632. Nothing is known about his artistic training as a painter, which likely occurred in his younger years. Four Amsterdam portraitists have been considered his possible teacher. Ann Jensen Adams, in her catalogue raisonné of Thomas de Keyser, posits (based on circumstantial evidence) that Cornelis van der Voort (c. 1576–1624)

  • Kuzey Avrupa Resminde “Et Karkasi” Imgesi
    DOI: 10.7816/idil-04-16-03 idil, 2015, Cilt 4, Sayı 16, Volume 4, Issue 16 KUZEY AVRUPA RESMİNDE “ET KARKASI” İMGESİ Semih ÖZKAN 1 ÖZET “Et karkası” ya da “Ölü Öküz” betimi, özellikle Kuzey Avrupa resim sanatında sıklıkla karşımıza çıkan sembolik bir imgedir. Konu üzerinde ikonografik değerlendirmeler yapıldığında, Eski Ahit ve İbrani mitlerinde örneğini gördüğümüz bu sembolik imgenin kökeninin daha da eskiye uzandığını görmekteyiz. Hıristiyan sanatına baktığımızda benzer temanın devam ettiğini ve referansları eskiye dayanan bu imgenin bir kurban sembolü olarak değişim geçirdiğini, Hz. İsa’nın kendini insanların günahları için kurban etmesinin görsel karşılığı olarak kullanıldığını görmekteyiz. İsa’nın ölüm biçimi çarmıha gerilme şeklinde olduğu için, kurban edilmiş boğanın öldürüldükten sonra bir karkasa gerilmesiyle ortaya çıkan biçim ile ikisi arasındaki sembolik anlamda bir görsel özdeşlik kurulmuştur. 16. Yüzyıla kadarki örneklerinde, İncil’den alınmış konuları resmeden sahnelerde, kompozisyonun içinde bir unsur olarak yer alırken, 17. Yüzyıla doğru et karkası betiminin kompozisyonun ana öğesi haline geldiği örneklerle karşılaşılmaktadır. Bu makale kapsamında bu imgenin dinsel bir sembol olarak tarihsel süreçte resim sanatındaki ifade ediliş biçimleri, çeşitli örnekler üzerinde ele alınmıştır.

Inscription: lower left: J v Ruisdael (JvR in ligature) Gift of Rupert L. Joseph 1960.2.1 ENTRY Depictions of elegant country houses came into vogue in the latter half of the seventeenth century as increasing numbers of wealthy Dutch merchants built homes along the river Vecht and in other picturesque locations in the Netherlands. Artists who specialized in architectural painting, among them Jan van der Heyden (Dutch, 1637 - 1712), depicted the houses and gardens in great detail. Surprisingly, however, not all of these seemingly accurate representations portray actual structures; sometimes the scenes were purely imaginary, intended to project an ideal of country existence rather than its actuality (see Van der Heyden’s An Architectural Fantasy). Ruisdael, who painted views of country houses only rarely during his long career, was not an artist who felt constrained to convey a precise record of an actual site, and it seems probable that this view of a country estate is an imaginative reconstruction of one he had seen. The elegant classicist villa standing beyond the informal, almost wilderness garden in this painting contains architectural elements characteristic of country houses from the period.
