Journée d’étude : « Cultural Crossroads. Artistic Encounters Between the Low Countries and Spain, 15th-17th Centuries. II-Woven Pictures », Madrid, Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, 8 novembre 2024

Tapestries were top-tier luxury products that enjoyed tremendous success during the Early Modern period, both for their narrative and decorative possibilities. The quality of craftsmanship of these products by the workshops settled in the former Habsburg territories led to their popularity and demand growing to such an extent that leading artists were eventually enlisted to conceive the compositions that were transferred to the loom, further enhancing their interest and quality. The close relations that the...

Appel à contribution : « On Failure: Error and Defeat in Netherlandish Art, 1500-now », Nederlands Kunsthistorisch Jaarboeck, vol. 76, date limite le 15 mars 2024

The seventeenth century has long been understood as a period of extraordinary economic growth and cultural, scientific and geographic expansion, a model for success that once was given the title of Golden Age. To foreign visitors, the Dutch were exemplary nation builders brimming with optimism, which was manifested in portraits of ambitious burghers, landscapes showing land reclamation, and seascapes featuring victorious war fleets. These are some of the ways in which people articulated success. The...

Exposition : « Collectors’ Dreams – Glorious Moments in Netherlandish Baroque Art », Cologne, Wallraf-Richartz-Museum, 26 mai 2023-21 avril 2024

For the first time ever, Collectors’ Dreams shows a marvelous German private collection brimming with star painters of the seventeenth-century Netherlandish art world.

PAR-DELÀ REMBRANDT, ESTAMPES DU SIÈCLE D’OR NÉERLANDAIS Le musée Condé présente une partie totalement inédite de ses collections à l’occasion de sa saison néerlandaise. Illustre amateur d’estampes, le duc d’Aumale a réuni une collection de gravures au burin ou d’eaux fortes qui témoigne du fait que Rembrandt est loin d’être le seul artiste à avoir fait preuve de brio dans ce domaine. Sommets de virtuosité technique, les paysages gravés par Jacob Van Ruisdael, les scènes...

Exposition : « Rembrandt and Love », Amsterdam, Museum Rembrandthuis, 1er juillet-16 septembre 2023

Rembrandt is known as a passionate man. But do you see that reflected in his etchings? In the summer exhibition Rembrandt and Love you’ll look at love through Rembrandt’s eyes: from dramatic love to parental love, from charity to love for animals. Of course, Rembrandt’s own love life will also be featured: the artist immortalized his first great love, Saskia Uylenburgh, on the etching plate more than once. Rembrandt and Love will show more than...

Journées d’étude : « Hugo van der Goes », Berlin, Gemäldegalerie, 14-15 juillet 2023

Hugo van der Goes (c. 1440-1482/83) was one of the most important European painters of the early modern period. His monumental, emotionally expressive, yet also intimate depictions are among the highlights of their respective collections. Yet unlike most other great artists of his era, no mnographic exhibition has ever been dedicated to this Flemish master. The Berlin Gemäldegalerie has now brought together the majority of his surviving works for the first time. To mark the...

Parution : Larry Silver, « Art and Dis-illusion in the Long Sixteenth Century », Leyde, Brill, 2023

Whereas entire libraries discuss the religious and political history of the sixteenth century in Northern Europe, focused on the Reformation and the rise of nation-states, Larry Silver uniquely traces the dramatic, even traumatic changes of the Reformation era discernible in the visual arts, especially paintings and the new medium of prints. Among the subjects and themes he explores are the destruction of church images, witchcraft, reactions to new voyages of exploration, and issues of vision...

Parution : Bart Ramakers, Edward H. Wouk (dir.), « Art and Death in The Netherlands 1400-1800 », Leyde, Brill, 2022

In premodern times, death was a more visible phenomenon than now owing to the ways in which dying and the subsequent phases of burial, bereavement, and remembrance were collectively experienced and publicly performed, and commemorated in objects and monuments. This volume of the Netherlands Yearbook for History of Art offers a diverse collection of essays on works of art, permanent or ephemeral, related to dying and cultural experiences of death, interment, and memorialisation in the...
