Abstract

Attributing old master paintings is one of the most difficult tasks of the art historian. Moreover, the stakes can be high, especially when the painting in question might be that of a famous master. The difference in price between an authentic old master painting and a work 'in the manner of' a well-known painter can add up to several million dollars. The fingerprint of an Old Master discusses issues regarding attribution of Dutch and Flemish paintings of the seventeent-century. Rembrandt's David and Jonathan (Hermitage, St. Petersburg), de-attributed by the Rembrandt Research Project in 1989, provides an unique oppurtunity to compare seventeenth- and twentieth-century conoisseurship. An analysis of the painting based on terms of seventeenth-century art theory shows that the painting must have been successful according to contemporary standards of appreciation, that is, worthy of carrying Rembrandt's name.

Abstract

"La Fuente de la Gracia no es solo la única pintura del entorno de Jan van Eyck que posee el Museo del Prado, sino también una de las importantes de sus colecciones tanto por su calidad artística como por su relevancia histórica. La fascinación y el interés que despierta esta obra tan íntimamente vinculada al principal artista flamenco del siglo xv están tan vivos hoy como cuando se creó hace seiscientos años o cuando salió a la luz para los historiadores del arte hace casi doscientos.... Esta publicación pretende dar a conocer los avances en el conocimiento de la obra derivados del detenido estudio histórico-artístico y de su restauración llevados a cabo por diversos especialistas en el Museo del Prado. Estos trabajos han aportado nuevas y sugerentes líneas de investigación en torno al universo creativo de Jan van Eyck, colocando en su justo valor esta obra fundamental para entender la estrecha relación cultural entre Flandes y Castilla en el siglo xv."--

Abstract

Early modern pamphlets serve as an important vehicle for examining print culture, particularly the historical entanglement between the technology of print and a developing capitalism. Attention to the controversies surrounding their circulation reveals that pamphlets became a focus for anxieties about print culture in general. Alexandra Halasz combines close readings of pamphlets by Robert Greene, Thomas Nashe, Gabriel Harvey, Thomas Deloney and John Taylor, among others, with a discussion of the history and deployment of print technology and its specifically English organization as a monopoly. Taking account of the theoretical and historical issues surrounding textual property, authorship and publicity, The Marketplace of Print, first published in 1997, is both a work of historical recovery and a reflection on the ongoing problems of the relationship between the marketplace and the public sphere.

Abstract

In de manier waarop men het eigen verleden beschouwde, bestudeerde en te boek stelde, hebben zich in de loop van de achttiende eeuw interessante verschuivingen voorgedaan, die geleid hebben tot een grondige vernieuwing van de geschiedschrijving als intellectuele discipline en als cultureel product. Ook in de Oostenrijkse Nederlanden en het prinsbisdom Luik, die niet veel later België zouden vormen, was dit het geval, zoals blijkt uit De hoed en de hond. In dit boek figureren historici en hun lezers, geestelijken, edelen, advocaten, académiciens, schrijvers van stads- en kloostergeschiedenissen, van populaire kronieken en geleerde tractaten, bibliothecarissen, archivarissen, onervaren archeologen en lichtgeraakte polemisten. Tom Verschaffel laat zien wat ze schreven en lazen, hoe ze tegen elkaar en hun voorgangers aankeken, waarover gediscussieerd werd en welk geschiedbeeld het resultaat was van al hun inspanningen. De overheid speelde een belangrijke rol in de ontwikkeling van het historisch bedrijf, omdat zij deze wilde organiseren, systematiseren en centraliseren. Ook inhoudelijk deed zich een 'nationalisering' van de historiografie voor: de geschiedenissen van de afzonderlijke vorstendommen werden geleidelijk vervangen door een geschiedenis van de Zuidelijke Nederlanden als geheel. België werd steeds meer beschouwd en beschreven als een natie, met een eigen geschiedenis en een nationaal karakter. Als voornaamste kenmerken van de eigenheid van de Belgen en als belangrijkste richtinggevende principes van hun geschiedenis golden de vrijheidsliefde en de trouw - gesymboliseerd door de hoed en de hond.

Abstract

In the seventeenth century, the concept of creativity was far removed from most of the fundamental ideas about the creative act - notions of human imagination, inspiration, originality and genius - that developed in the eighteenthand nineteenth centuries. Instead, in this period, students learned their crafts by copying and imitating past masters and did not consciously seek to break away from tradition. Most new material was made on the instructions of apatron and had to conform to external expectations; and basic tenets that we tend to take for granted-such as the primacy and individuality of the author-were apparently considered irrelevant in some contexts. This aim of this interdisciplinary collection of essays is to explore what it meant to create buildings and works of art, music and literature in seventeenth-century England and to investigate the processes by which such creations came into existence. Through a series of specific case studies, the book highlights a wide range of ideas, beliefs and approaches to creativity that existed in seventeenth-century England and places them in the context of the prevailing intellectual, social and cultural trends of the period. In so doing, it draws into focus the profound changes that were emerging in the understanding of human creativity in early modern society - transformations that would eventually lead to the development of a more recognisably modern conception of the notion of creativity. The contributors work in and across the fields of literary studies, history, musicology, history of art and history of architecture, and their work collectively explores many of the most fundamental questions about creativity posed by the early modern English 'creative arts'. REBECCA HERISSONE is Head of Music and Senior Lecturer in Musicology at the University of Manchester. ALAN HOWARD is Lecturer in Music at the University of East Anglia.
