Abstract

Vermeer and the Art of Love is about the emotions evoked in those elegant interiors in which a young woman may be writing a letter to her absent beloved or playing a virginal in the presence of an admirer. But it is also about the love we sense in the painter's attentiveness to every detail within those rooms, which lends even the most mundane of objects the quality of something extraordinary.0In this engaging and beautifully illustrated book, Georgievska-Shine uncovers the ways in which Vermeer challenges the dichotomies between 'good' and 'bad' love, the sensual and the spiritual, placing him within the context of his contemporaries to give the reader a fascinating insight into his unique understanding and interpretation of the subject.

Abstract

The neighborhood was a principal organizing structure of Dutch cities in the seventeenth century, and each had its own regulations, administrators, social networks, events, and diverse population of residents. Linda Stone-Ferrier argues that this sense of community contributed to the steady demand for pictures portraying aspects of this culture. These paintings, by such artists as Jan Steen and Pieter de Hooch, reinforced the role and values of the neighborhood. Through close readings of such works-by Steen and De Hooch and, among others, Gerrit Dou, Gabriel Metsu, Jacob van Ruisdael, and Johannes Vermeer-Stone-Ferrier deftly considers social history, urban studies, anthropology, and women's studies in this penetrating exploration. Her new interpretations of seventeenth-century Dutch painting across genres-scenes of streets, domesticity, professions, and festivity-challenge existing paradigms in Dutch art history.

Abstract

The essays collected in this volume are devoted to the Utrecht painter Abraham Bloemaert. The artist has received considerable scholarly attention following the publication of the catalogue raisonné of his paintings and, more recently, of his drawings, particularly in connection with the major exhibition The Bloemaert Effect (2012, Utrecht & Schwerin). This publication examines Abraham Bloemaert as a universal artist while it also aims to better understand his contribution towards the development of new iconographic themes. The choice and execution of specific subjects are considered in light of the local religious context, among others. In order to offer new perspectives and stimulate further research, the volume carefully examines the role of his workshop and the various artistic practices – painting, engraving, and drawing – in which its members engaged under Bloemaert’s supervision. A key question ties together the multifaceted approaches presented here: should Bloemaert be considered as the ‘father of the Utrecht school’ and the founder of a dynasty of artists?

Abstract

"As the first public museum in the United States to purchase a painting by Vincent van Gogh, the Detroit Institute of Arts is celebrating its historic accomplishment with a groundbreaking exploration of the introduction and early reception in America of the iconic artist's work. The painting in question is Self-Portrait, produced in Paris during the summer of 1887-with a light palette initially informed by Impressionist works-and acquired by the museum in 1922. To contextualize his work, Van Gogh in America brings together approximately 60 of Van Gogh's paintings, drawings, and prints from collections around the world. Essays by leading Van Gogh scholars from the Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands and The Metropolitan Museum of Art chronicle the considerable efforts made by early promoters of modernism in the United States, including dealers, collectors, private art organizations, public institutions, and the Van Gogh family, to frame the artist's biography and introduce his artistic production into the American consciousness"--
