The Discovery of the Netherlands
Framing nature unlocks it for aesthetic appreciation.
De László in Holland
Philip Alexius de Laszlo (1869-1937) was one of the most important portraitists of the early 20th century. Born in Hungary, he was trained in Munich and Paris and was soon receiving commissions from noble and royal families throughout Europe. Having married Lucy Guinness in 1900, in 1907 he moved from Vienna to England, where he had enormous success. Far less known are the wonderful portraits de Laszlo painted in the Netherlands over more than 30 years. By 1900 de Laszlo was renowned in the highest circles and his reputation inevitably reached the land of Rembrandt. De Laszszlo became very popular with Holland's cosmopolitan aristocratic and entrepreneurial families.Over the years, members of the Loudon and Deterding families, Cremer and Count Schimmelpenninck all sat to him. The portraits have remained in the families' private collections, and are here published for the first time.The book accompanies an exhibition of de Laszlo's Dutch portraits in the Van Loon house in the heart of Amsterdam, built in 1672, which was opened as a museum in 1973. It is a complete catalogue of de Laszlo's Dutch oeuvre as it is known today."
Art and Social Change
The scholarly essays in this book focus on the theme of art and social change in Western art from the Renaissance to about 1950. The edited volume includes contributions by scholars with a range of professional backgrounds and affiliations. Their essays address some aspect of the theme and engage with one or more artworks in the collection of La Salle University Art Museum. Topics include religious iconography, portraiture, landscape, journal illustrations, and Modernist abstraction. These essays on the collection add to the body of scholarship which situates works of art in contexts that help reveal and explain changes in social, political or cultural values. The book is lavishly illustrated, with 104 color illustrations.
Rembrandt, Vermeer and the Dutch Golden Age
Accompanying the exhibition at Louvre Abu Dhabi, the catalogue Rembrandt, Vermeer and the Dutch Golden Age provides an image-rich overview of the artworks exhibited, complimented by four essays. The first situates The Leiden Collection within the context of the Dutch Golden Age. The second and third describe the major role that the Netherlands played on a global scale in the in the 17th century, the specificities of the Dutch Golden Age as well as the work of Rembrandt and his contemporaries, rooted in the society of that time and place. The fourth essay sheds light on the particular role that drawing played in the creative process of Dutch artists.
Doopsgezinde bijdragen 38
In aansluiting op het onderwerp van het najaarscongres van de Doopsgezinde Historische Kring is dit nummer van de 'Doopsgezinde Bijdragen' grotendeels gewijd aan het doopsgezinde identiteitsbesef sinds de negentiende eeuw. Wat gold als doopsgezind eigen? Was dit weerloosheid, vrijheid in het belijden, afwezigheid van een vast en sturend kerkverband of nog iets anders?
Doopsgezinde Bijdragen, nieuwe reeks (2018)
Nina Schroeder analyseert aan de hand van schilderijen de doperse opvattingen over het landschap. De door Francesco Quatrini beschreven relatie tussen Adam Boreel en John Dury is een voorbeeld van grensverkeer tussen verschillende confessionele groeperingen. Ruud Lambour doet verslag van zijn onderzoek naar Amsterdamse doopsgezinden in de Gouden Eeuw. Adriaan Plak beschijft twee boekbanden om vroegzeventiende-eeuwse doperse uitgaven. Simon Vuyk geeft twee brieven van Marten Martens uit en Astrid von Schlachta beschrijft de initiatieven van Duitse dopers om hun geschiedenis toegankelijk te maken.
