  • Planning the Horticultural Sector Managing Greenhouse Sprawl in the Netherlands
    Planning the Horticultural Sector Managing Greenhouse Sprawl in the Netherlands Korthals Altes, W.K., Van Rij, E. (2013) Planning the horticultural sector: Managing greenhouse sprawl in the Netherlands, Land Use Policy, 31, 486-497 Abstract Greenhouses are a typical example of peri-urban land-use, a phenomenon that many planning systems find difficult to address as it mixes agricultural identity with urban appearance. Despite its urban appearance, greenhouse development often manages to evade urban containment policies. But a ban on greenhouse development might well result in under-utilisation of the economic value of the sector and its potential for sustainability. Specific knowledge of the urban and rural character of greenhouses is essential for the implementation of planning strategies. This paper analyses Dutch planning policies for greenhouses. It concludes with a discussion of how insights from greenhouse planning can be applied in other contexts involving peri-urban areas. Keywords: greenhouses; horticulture; land-use planning; the Netherlands; peri-urban land-use 1 Introduction The important role played by the urban-rural dichotomy in planning practice is a complicating factor in planning strategies for peri-urban areas, often conceptualised as border areas (the rural-urban fringe) or as an intermediate zone between city and countryside (the rural-urban transition zone) (Simon, 2008). However, “[t]he rural-urban fringe has a special, and not simply a transitional, land-use pattern that distinguishes it from more distant countryside and more urbanised space.” (Gallent and Shaw, 2007, 621) Planning policies tend to overlook this specific peri-environment, focusing rather on the black-and-white difference between urban and rural while disregarding developments in the shadow of cities (Hornis and Van Eck, 2008).

  • Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83747-7 - Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More information Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 England’s response to the Revolt of the Netherlands (1568–1648) has been studied hitherto mainly in terms of government policy, yet the Dutch struggle with Habsburg Spain affected a much wider commu- nity than just the English political elite. It attracted attention across Britain and drew not just statesmen and diplomats but also soldiers, merchants, religious refugees, journalists, travellers and students into the confl ict. Hugh Dunthorne draws on pamphlet literature to reveal how British contemporaries viewed the progress of their near neigh- bours’ rebellion, and assesses the lasting impact which the Revolt and the rise of the Dutch Republic had on Britain’s domestic history. The book explores affi nities between the Dutch Revolt and the British civil wars of the seventeenth century – the fi rst major challenges to royal authority in modern times – showing how much Britain’s chang- ing commercial, religious and political culture owed to the country’s involvement with events across the North Sea. HUGH DUNTHORNE specializes in the history of the early modern period, the Dutch revolt and the Dutch republic and empire, the his- tory of war, and the Enlightenment. He was formerly Senior Lecturer in History at Swansea University, and his previous publications include The Enlightenment (1991) and The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Britain and the Low Countries

  • Mondrian and De Stijl
    Exhibition November 11, 2020 – March 1, 2021 Sabatini Building, Floor 1 Mondrian and De Stijl Piet Mondrian, Lozenge Composition with Eight Lines and Red (Picture no. III), 1938 Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel, Beyeler Collection. © Mondrian/Holtzman, 2020 The work of the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian within the context of the movement De Stijl [The Style] set the course of geometric abstract art from the Netherlands and contributed to the drastic change in visual culture after the First World War. His concept of beauty based on the surface, on the structure and composition of color and lines, shaped a novel and innovative style that aimed at breaking down the frontiers between disciplines and surpassing the traditional limits of pictorial space. De Stijl, the magazine of the same name founded in 1917 by the painter and critic Theo van Doesburg, was the platform for spreading the ideas of this new art and overcoming traditional Dutch provincialism. Contrary to what has often been said, the members of De Stijl did not pursue a utopia but a world where collaboration between all disciplines would make it possible to abolish hierarchies among the arts. These would thus be freed to merge together and give rise to something new, a reality better adapted to the world of modernity that was just starting to be glimpsed. Piet Mondrian (Amersfoort, Netherlands, 1872-New York, 1944) is considered one of the founders of this new art. His progressive ideas about the relationship between art and society grew from the deep- rooted Dutch realist tradition inherited from the seventeenth century.

  • The Art Market in the Dutch Golden
    The Art Market in the Dutch Art 1600–1700 Dutch Golden Age The first great free market economy for art This painting is occurred in the Dutch Republic of the 1600s. an example of the This republic was the most wealthy and “history painting” urbanized nation at the time. Its wealth was category. based on local industries such as textiles and breweries and the domination of the global trade market by the Dutch East India Company. This economic power translated into a sizeable urban middle class with disposable income to purchase art. As a result of the Protestant Reformation, and the absence of liturgical painting in the Protestant Church, religious patronage was no longer a major source of income for artists. Rather than working on commission, artists sold their paintings on an open market in bookstores, fairs, and through dealers. (c o n t i n u e d o n b a c k ) Jan Steen (Dutch, 1626–1679).

Severance Fund 1964.153 Dutch Art 1600–1700 Still-life paintings like this one were often less expen- sive than history paintings. (c o n t i n u e d f r o m f r o n t ) This open market led to the rise in five major categories of painting: history painting, portraiture, scenes of everyday life, landscapes, and still-life paintings. The most prized, most expensive, and often largest in scale were history or narrative paintings, often with biblical or allegorical themes.

  • The Example of the Dutch Republic for American Federalism
    The Example of the Dutch Republic for American Federalism J.W.SCHULTENORDHOLT We may derive from Holland lessons very beneficial to ourselves. John Marshall in the Convention of Virginia 1788. I History is philosophy teaching by examples. That famous saying expresses the eighteenth-century approach to the past better than long explanations. The philosophers and political scientists of the Enlightenment were eager to find examples to justify their actual deeds and opinions. Perhaps the deepest reason for this quest for an imitable past is to be found in their belief in the unity of Western civilization. There was a great chain of being, not only in space, as has been so magnificently described by Arthur Lovejoy, but also in time. The presupposition of such a belief in the cohesive patterns of the past was the conception that there had been, through the ages, a certain uniformity in human behaviour. Man had never changed, that is why history could be used as a model. As David Hume put it: Mankind are so much the same, in all times and places, that history informs us of no­ thing new or strange in this particular. Its chief use is only to discover the constant and universal principles of human nature. The task of the historian was not in the first place to understand the past for its own sake, but, as Carl Becker remarks, to choose between good and evil, 'be- tween the customs that were suited and those that were unsuited to man's nature'.1That is exactly what men like James Madison and his friends were to do during that long summer of 1787 when they drafted the Constitution.

Kunstmuseum Den Haag Dit museum doet iets met je. Het creëert afstand tot het alledaagse. Biedt troost. Zet je aan het denken. Laat je tot rust komen. Of juist niet. Met museumzalen in menselijke maat, komt Kunstmuseum Den Haag het liefst dichtbij. Zo dichtbij dat kunst intiem wordt. En je niets anders kan dan naar binnen kijken. 8 Kunstmuseum Den Haag vindt dat iedereen dicht bij kunst over wie we zijn. Er zijn maar weinig musea die doorlopend moet kunnen komen.
