Among the most intriguing and confounding works of Jan van Eyck’s oeuvre are the Crucifixion and Last Judgment in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Although acquired in 1933 as a diptych, questions have remained about their initial configuration, and how these paintings functioned. The recent technical investigations of the paintings and their original frames added further complexities to these inquiries when a fragmentary text in Middle Dutch was discovered through X-radiography on the frames surrounding the two paintings. The many facets of the ensuing investigation necessitated an interdisciplinary collaboration of researchers involving an art historian, paintings conservator, and museum scientist – namely, Maryan Ainsworth, Sophie Scully, and Silvia Centeno. Moreover, the new discovery of the formerly hidden text called for the enrichment of the interdisciplinary team by a paleographer and a classical philologist, Marc Smith and Christina Meckelnborg. This book relates the unfolding story of the investigations from in-depth technical research, facilitating the conservation treatment of the frames, to the art historical study that connected these findings to the religious, political, and social contexts of the times. Through considerable interdisciplinary detective work, it was possible to reach a new understanding about the original form and function of the Crucifixion and Last Judgment and their pivotal role concerning devotions to a cherished relic, the Miraculous Bleeding Host, housed in the then collegiate church of Saint Michael and Saint Gudula in Brussels. The implications of these discoveries also shed new light on the relationship between The Met Crucifixion and Van Eyck’s metalpoint drawing of the same theme in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam. Finally, the study of the Crucifixion and the Last Judgment draws attention to commissions Van Eyck received that are somewhat outside of the canon of works usually associated with this esteemed artist.

Kleine, krioelende beestjes als insecten, spinnen, hagedissen en padden; deze ‘onderkruipsels’kampen van oudsher met een negatief imago. In de Middeleeuwen worden ze vooral geassocieerd met de dood en de duivel. Maar in de 16de en 17de eeuw krijgen mensen oog voor hun schoonheid. Ze duiken op in kunstwerken, worden onderwerp van geleerde verhandelingen en groeien uit tot geliefde verzamelobjecten. Kunstenaars als Albrecht Dürer, Wenzel Jamnitzer, Jan van Kessel I en Maria Sibylla Merian verdiepen zich in de diertjes en geven ze prachtig weer. Ook wetenschappers als Johannes Swammerdam en Antoni van Leeuwenhoek raken gebiologeerd. De ‘kleyne dierkens’ worden verzameld, bestudeerd, onder de microscoop gelegd en afgebeeld. Ook vandaag de dag maken de beestjes hun opwachting in het werk van beeldend kunstenaars, die andere manieren voorstellen om met insecten en de natuurlijke wereld om te gaan. Deze rijk geïllustreerde publicatie gaat over de fascinerende relatie tussen kunst en wetenschap en over de veranderende waardering voor insecten en andere onderkruipsels: van gruwelen tot verwonderen.

This volume honors Maryan W. Ainsworth, curator emerita at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and former adjunct professor at Barnard College, whose work as a scholar, curator, and teacher has profoundly impacted the study of early northern European painting. Contributions by leading specialists from museums and academia, including former interns and fellows, reflect Ainsworth's emphasis on the centrality of the object and on the interdisciplinary methods of technical art history, while also paying homage to the variety of Ainsworth's research interests as a whole. The essays explore topics such as the working methods of individual artists, workshop practice, artistic collaboration, and patronage across a range of media - mainly painting, but also manuscript illumination, drawing, tapestry, sculpture, and stained glass.
