Abstract

Sixty-five descriptions, ostensibly of paintings in a gallery at Naples, are credited to an Elder Philostratus (born c. 190 CE); to a Younger Philostratus, apparently his grandson, seventeen similar descriptions. Fourteen descriptions of statues in stone or bronze attributed to Callistratus were probably written in the fourth century CE.

Abstract

Om de vermeende slechtheid van de vrouw een gezicht te geven vond de katholieke kerk een dankbaar slachtoffer in de figuur van Maria Magdalena. Eeuwenlang werd het personage van Maria Magdalena door de kerkelijke leiders opgevoerd als het prototype van de zondige vrouw. In 'Sancta erotica' onderneemt kunstcriticus Guido Kindt een speurtocht naar de ware Maria Magdalena. Hij herleest de evangelies en de apocriefe bijbelteksten, en onderwerpt de mythes, verzinsels en legenden die rond haar persoon zijn geweven, aan een kritische blik. Onder haar naam werden in heel Europa christelijke Magdalenahuizen opgericht voor 'gevallen vrouwen' - waaronder vooral ongehuwde moeders en prostituees wordt verstaan - die vaak een zeer slechte reputatie opbouwden. Maria Magdalena vormde ook een inspiratiebron voor heel wat literaire werken en kunstwerken. Het boek is rijkelijk geïllustreerd met afbeeldingen en sluit af met een (onvolledige) opsomming van de kunstwerken in Belgische musea en kerken waarop Maria Magdalena afgebeeld staat.

Abstract

The Ghent Altarpiece by Hubert and Jan van Eyck has always attracted both admiration and curiosity. Following the conservation of the paintings of the closed polyptych, it was the turn of those from the lower register of the open altarpiece ? including the famous Adoration of the Lamb ? to undergo a major research and conservation campaign by the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA, Brussels) between 2016 and 2020.0The findings reflect those for the closed altarpiece: large areas of the panels were covered with overpaints, the vast majority dating from the 16th century. Their removal allows the Van Eycks brothers? paintings to be truly appreciated again.0The three years that the conservators spent working on the panels enabled them to examine the paintings down to the smallest details. Interdisciplinary collaboration with laboratory scientists, art historians and imaging experts led to a series of discoveries ? some anticipated in light of earlier research, others unexpected.0The authenticity of the quatrain stating that Hubert had begun the work, that his brother Jan completed it and that it was presented in 1432, has been firmly established for some years now. New hypotheses are proposed here regarding the division of labour between the two Van Eyck brothers. The contribution of Hubert, who died in 1426, can finally be seen more clearly and is far from negligible. But the removal of overpaints has revealed non-Eyckian interventions too...

Abstract

The outer panels of the Ghent Altarpiece had been overpainted to a considerable extent. The virtuosity of the Eyckian technique and aesthetics remained hardly visible. And yet, this had never been observed before the start of the conservation treatment. By removing the overpaint, the tonal richness and the coherent rendering of light and space once again came to the fore. Especially the suggestion of volumes and the spaciousness of the ensemble gained strength because of the virtuoso play of deep shadows and bright light accents, and not in the least because of the surprising trompe-l'oeil effect of the frames conceived as a stone framework. Or to put it in the words of the comments of one of the experts, dr. Maryan Ainsworth: "The paintings live and breathe again in the time of the Van Eyck brothers". The sharp observation skills, the quick, accurate execution, the knowledge, curiosity and ingenuity about all the things that are depicted, are now unveiled after centuries. The profit for the knowledge of and further research into the essence of Eyckian aesthetics is considerable. And finally there is the discovery that the much-discussed quatrain was applied simultaneously with the polychromy of the frames: a real 'coup de foudre' in the discourse of the current art-historical research! The subtleties of the Eyckian technique could also be mapped out in more detail. How the Van Eycks managed to keep the final result and the desired effect in mind during every phase of the execution, from imprimatura to finishing touch. The artists made a statement about the art of painting, giving 'technique' as such a new prominence. The Ghent Altarpiece may be understood at some point as a major showpiece for a highly sophisticated pictorial technique.
