This interdisciplinary study examines painted portraiture as a defining metaphor of elite self-representation in early modern culture.Beginning with Castiglione’s Book of the Courtier (1528), the most influential early modern account of the formation of elite identity, the argument traces a path across the ensuing century towards the images of courtiers and nobles by the most persuasive of European portrait painters, Van Dyck, especially those produced in London during the 1630s. It investigates two related kinds of texts: those which, following Castiglione, model the conduct of the ideal courtier or elite social conduct more generally; and those belonging to the established tradition of debates about the condition of nobility –how far it is genetically inherited and how far a function of excelling moral and social behaviour. Van Dyck is seen as contributing to these discussions through the language of pictorial art.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, cultural history, early modern history and Renaissance studies.

Around 1500, portraiture flourished like never before. In countless European cities major Renaissance artists like Hans Holbein II, Albrecht Dürer, Hans Memling and Antonello da Messina produced lifelike portraits at the highest artistic level. For the first time in history, they not only immortalized kings and noblemen but also, and increasingly, powerful bankers, wealthy merchants and renowned scholars. These paintings, busts, medallions, prints and drawings still bear witness to their power, status, ambitions, friendships and religious convictions. 'Remember Me ' uses international masterpieces and surprising unknowns to tell the personal stories of the people portrayed. How did they want to be remembered? Whether they are lovers, celebrities or believers worshipping saints, the people portrayed implore the onlookers not to forget them.

Das populäre Bild des Künstlers ist bis heute geprägt vom Mythos des einsamen Genies am Rand der Gesellschaft. Der sozialhistorische Befund ebenso wie der kunsthistorische widersprechen dem: Zahlreiche Porträts zeigen Künstler im Kreise ihrer Familie. Gabriele Hofner-Kulenkamp hat mehr als 60 Werke vom Anfang des 16. bis zum Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts im Hinblick auf diesen Zusammenhang analysiert. Ihre Studie ergibt, dass die Anlässe für diese Bildnisse vielfältig waren und denen anderer Familienporträts glichen: Ereignisse wie Geburt, Heirat, Wiedersehen nach einer Trennung sowie Dokumentation einer Karriere wurden festgehalten. Auch die Motive des Totengedenkens, der Repräsentation oder der Ermahnung der Nachkommen kennen wir aus dem Familienbildnis. Da aber die Instanz des Auftraggebers wegfiel, konnte der Künstler neue, oft originelle Möglichkeiten der Darstellung erproben. (provided by publisher)
