  • Adaptation, Emulation and Innovation: Scorel, Gossaert and Other Artists As a Source of Inspiration for the Young Heemskerck
    ILJA M. VELDMAN Adaptation, emulation and innovation: Scorel, Gossaert and other artists as a source of inspiration for the young Heemskerck The nature and scope of the early oeuvre of Maarten van Heemskerck (1498-1574) long remained indistinct. Produced before his departure for Rome at the end of May 1532, Heemskerck’s early work was also underestimated and misjudged, due to the absence of signatures and dates on many of his paintings and a dearth of other critical information. In his Schilder-boeck (1604), Karel van Mander centers his brief account of the painter’s fijirst thirty-two years on the omanticr anecdote of an artist of humble birth who persists in a career as a painter despite his father’s opposition.1 As Van Mander recounts, Heemskerck’s fijirst apprenticeship to the Haarlem painter Cornelis Willemsz asw cut short when his father fetched him back to their farm in Heemskerk to milk the family’s cows. But the boy ran away from home and apprenticed himself to the Delft painter Jan Lucasz, who taught him to draw and paint well. When Maarten learned of Jan van Scorel’s return from Italy and of the new Italian style he had developed there, he joined him as his assistant in Haarlem. Heemskerck mastered Scorel’s new art of painting so rapidly and so well, Van Mander writes, that one could barely distinguish their works from each other. Thereupon a jealous Scorel sent him away. Defijinition of Heemskerck’s early oeuvre On the basis of Van Mander’s account and the assumption that Scorel’s talents were naturally superior to those of a mere assistant (‘discipel’), much of Heemskerck’s early oeuvre was widely credited to Scorel, including paintings that in time would be recognized as his most outstanding works.

  • New Perspectives on Pieter Bruegel the Elder's Journey To
    KATRIEN LICHTERT New perspectives on Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s journey to Italy (c. 1552-1554/1555)* Bruegel’s journey in context: I Fiamminghi and the south Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1528-1569) travelled to Italy at a time when journeys to the south were becoming increasingly popular; from the second half of the sixteenth cen- tury onwards, the majority of well-established Northern European artists made such a voyage. In Italy they were called Fiamminghi,1 and while some of them travelled out of personal interests, the main reasons were visiting the ruins of classical antiquity and getting acquainted with the works of the Italian masters. Rome was very popular since it combined the best of both worlds and a visit to the Eternal City was often the under- lying reason for undertaking such journeys. It is well known that Jan Gossart (1478-1532) travelled to Italy in 1508-1509, accompanying his patron Philip of Burgundy on a diplo- matic mission.2 After his return to the Netherlands, Gossart played an important pioneer- ing role in introducing the Italian Renaissance idiom in the Low Countries.3 Other well-known artists travelling to Italy prior to Bruegel were Jan van Scorel (1495-1562) and his pupil Maarten van Heemskerck (1498-1574). Both painters played a decisive role in the introduction and propagation of the classical in the Low Countries and they copiously integrated Roman architecture and sculpture in their own works based on sketches which were made on the spot. Long after their return to the Netherlands these antique ruins and sculptures proved to be fruitful sources of inspiration for both artists.

KdZ 6696. Pen and brown ink, washed with bistre, 216 x 555 mm, signed and dated: Martijn hemskeric 1535 INTRODUCTION During the sixteenth century, many Netherlandish artists1 made a study trip to Italy, and more in particular to Rome, mainly as a completion of the artistic education they had started in their native country. Having arrived in the southern peninsula, they looked for prestigious commissions or employment in an Italian workshop. Many artists returned home after some years, others built up a life and career in the city and stayed. It has been generally acknowledged that northern artists travelled to Italy to learn from Antiquity and their contemporary Italian masters and that in Rome in particular, they made drawings of all the things they admired in the city which they could use in their work. Nonetheless, it remains questionable to what extent and for which purposes northern artists have collected visual material in Rome. Furthermore, it is certainly not clear if the practice of drawing ‘from nature’ may be regarded as one of the main reasons for sixteenth century northern artists to set off for a journey southwards.

The Collection of the Frans Hals Museum (Ghent: Ludion Ghent, 2006) 303-304. Jan van Scorel was born in Schoorl (northwest of Alkmaar) on 1 August 1495 as the natural son of the priest Andries Ouckeyn and Dieuwer Aertsdr.1 Two seventeenth-century sources give differing accounts of Scorel’s artistic training. According to Van Mander, Scorel attended the Latin School in Alkmaar until the age of 14, went to Haarlem in 1509 to study with Willem Cornelisz (died in Haarlem in 1592),2 and continued his training three years later in Amsterdam under Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen (Oostsanen? c. 1572-Amsterdam 1533).3 Buchelius - who is silent concerning the artist’s pupillage in Haarlem – maintains that Scorel trained in Alkmaar with Cornelis Cornelisz Buys (active as of 1516, died 1545/46 in Alkmaar), the brother of Van Oostsanen.4 Van Mander also notes that Scorel spent a brief time with Jan Gossaert (Maubeuge 1478-Antwerp 1532) in Utrecht, probably in 1517 or 1518.5 Van Mander relates that in 1518 or at the latest 1519, Scorel left Utrecht to travel along the Rhine via Cologne to Spiers, where he stayed a while with a specialist in architecture and perspective, and then to Strasbourg and from there to Basel.

  • 2 Jan Van Scorel, Self-Portrait. from a Group Portrait of Jeruzalem Pilgrims
    Jan van Scorel, Self-portrait. From a group portrait of Jeruzalem pilgrims ; Scorel calls himself canon of St. Mary's in the inscription beneath his portrait. Frans Hals Museum. Haarlem. 2 MOLLY A. FARIES* Jan van Scorel, Additional Documents from the Church Records of Utrecht Jan van Scorel is one of the few Netherlandish artists of the 16th century whose career can be followed regularly in documents. Because he held the ecclesiastical offices of vicar in the church of St. John and canon of St. Mary's, both in Utrecht, Scorel's name often appears in the church records. When G. J. Hoogewerff published his book about this painter in 1923, he incorporated the results of an investigation of the archives made by S. Muller Fz., the head of the municipal (1874) and provincial (1879) archive of Utrecht until 19201. Hoogewerff selected a number of documents from Muller's study and grouped them in the back of his book; other references to the archives he scattered through the text. Unfortunately, when mentioning a document, he did not footnote, nor did he cite folio or inventory numbers. It is therefore difficult to separate Hoogewerff's supposition or discussion about the document from the recorded fact itself. It is hoped that the chronological list at the end of this article will rectify this oversight and clarify some of the confusing issues. The list also will provide us with a quicker reference to Scorel's chronology and access to the original sources. Furthermore, the list includes much new material on Scorel, concerning his activities as a canon in the church as well as some of his connections with the secular world.

  • 5 MOLLY FARIES a Woodcut of the Flood Re-Attributed to Jan Van
    5 MOLLY FARIES A woodcut of the Flood re-attributed to Jan van Scorel* It was most likely in the summer of 1520 that Jan van Scorel returned to Venice from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The young Dutchrnan then visited several other Italian cities, as Carel van Mander tells us, before travelling on to Rome where he became curator of the Belvedere collection under Adrian VI. To Van Mander and subsequent art historians, Scorel's contact with Italian art during the early 1520s was of fundamental importance, for it established the painter as the major proponent of Italianate style in the north-Netherlands after his return to Utrecht in 1524. Italian influence is an often-considered topic in Scorel litera- turc : although outright copies of Italian works are infrequent in Scorel's career, the artist clearly knew Venetian and Roman works, especially Raphael's logí?ie, and compositions by Giulio Romano and Pcruzzi.1 Additions to Scorel's ()el4lr(, have been made steadily since the monographic studies early in this century, 2 but it is not surprising that somc of Jan van Scorel's compositions should have remained unrecognized, especially if long mistaken as Italian. The Flood (fig. 1) has usually been considered Venetian, perhaps executed by one of Titian's woodblock cuttcrs, Nicolo Holdrini.3 It is here re-attributed to Jan van Scorcl. The Flood is a large woodcut in two shccts. Copies in reverse and in the original direction also exist, some bearing the monograrn of the later 16th century Italian publisher and printer, Andrea Andreani.

  • The Historical Reputation of Jan Van Scorel's Portraits
    Countenances of the deepest attentiveness: the historical reputation of Jan van Scorel’s portraits* Albert Godycki Figure 1 Jan van Scorel, Twelve Members of the Utrecht Brotherhood of Jerusalem Pilgrims, c. 1525. Oil on panel. Utrecht: Centraal Museum. The historical fame of Jan van Scorel (1495 - 1562) can be said to rest on two factors: his earliest biographers emphasised his sojourn in Italy and marked him out as the bringer of a ‘new style’ back to his native Netherlands; for more recent art history, it is the privileged position which Alois Riegl accorded to the painter as the first artist to have created an autonomous group portrait.1 It is then perhaps to be expected that the bulk of Scorel’s output has been in the past interpreted through either or both of these methodological lenses. Yet, with all long-term historiographies the inevitable fluctuations in academic and more broadly social circumstances have variably conditioned the understanding and position of Scorel’s oeuvre in art historical narratives, not least in that of portraiture which is the concern of the present paper. By drawing attention to early biographers’ statements on Scorel, and by expanding Riegl’s analysis to include other portraits, not just the oft-cited series of Jerusalem Pilgrim portraits (fig. 1)2, this paper aims to examine how an illustrious * I wish to thank the conference organisers, Doctor Mateusz Grzeda and Professor Marek Walczak, for the opportunity to participate in the conference, and for the stimulating exchanges which it generated. This paper greatly benefited from those exchanges. My thanks also to Professor Joanna Woodall, whose patience seems to know no bounds.

ISSN: 1949-9833 Jan van Scorel’s Crucifixion for the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam: The “finest painting in all of the regions of Flanders” Molly Faries, Henri Defoer This essay identifies one of Jan van Scorel’s most important, lost works—the Crucifixion for the high altar of the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam—by evaluating the evidence provided by workshop replicas, later copies, and other works influenced by the original painting. The questions surrounding the prestigious Oude Kerk commission play out in the context of Scorel’s reestablishment in the northern Netherlands after his return from Italy in 1524 and the responses by Scorel’s contemporaries such as Maarten van Heemskerck to his new Italianate style. 1 Jan van Scorel’s Crucifixion for the high altar of the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam is one of the paintings that Karel van Mander lamented was lost during the Iconoclasm in 1566, along with others in Utrecht, Gouda, and elsewhere.1 The sense of loss is made all the more palpable when one considers how the Oude Kerk painting was appreciated by those who had the chance to see it before it was destroyed.
