The History of a Statue on the Amsterdam Town Hall.\u0000The central figure at the back facade of the former city hall -now royal palace- in Amsterdam is the mythological giant Atlas. His presence is 'an allusion to universal peace', according to art historians who refer to the Treatry of Munster (1648) that also inspired other decorations by the architect Jacob van Campen (1596-1657). Yet in the visual language of the early modern period, the image of Atlas rather points to a transfer of power. During his preliminary design of the building, Van Campen was faced with the death of his former patron, stadtholder Frederick Henry of Orange, who was succeeded by his son, William II. The Amsterdam burgomasters agreed with a statue referring to their less-than-beloved stadtholder only because he was flanked and watched by two ladies: Temperantia (moderation) and Vigilantia (vigilance). Around 1667 the bronze Atlas with a large globe on his shoulders was placed on the tympan at the rear side of the town hall. Visitors who dared to climb into the sphere were rewarded with a magnificent view of the city. Coloured green by corrosion, Atlas still dominates the western side of the royal palace today.","PeriodicalId":39579,"journal":{"name":"OUD HOLLAND","volume":"1 1","pages":"131-148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83117618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After a close comparison with a passage from Scripture (Job chapter 42, verses 7-9) and a print by Adriaen Collaert, based on a drawing by Johannes Stradanus, the subject of the Amsterdam picture has been determined anew as Job's intercession at the Burnt Offering of His Friends. An analysis of style of the Job-painting, based on a comparison with works by Hendrick Bloemaert and his father Abraham Bloemaert, confirms the attribution to Hendrick Bloemaert. Lastly, the Amsterdam picture is identified with a painting, assumed to be lost, which according to a source from 1778, was painted by Hendrick Bloemaert and dedicated to the Sint Jobsgasthuis in Utrecht in 1633 and which depicts the \"Gebed en Brand-offer van Hiob\"","PeriodicalId":39579,"journal":{"name":"OUD HOLLAND","volume":"67 1","pages":"119-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87872376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He received his training at the local Teekenacademie (School of the Arts) and in the studios of Bartholomeus van Hove and his son Huib, both painters of historical architecture. Stroebel followed in their footsteps, while concentrating on spaces indoors enlivened by all manner of figures in seventeenth century dress, thus presenting a wide variety of scenes from everyday life in the past. All through the nineteenth century this type of historical scene enjoyed popularity in most European countries, with many artists successfully specializing in such topics. In the Netherlands however a different situation developed, although historical genre scenes were produced in considerable numbers. Countless Dutch painters tried their hand at such scenes once or twice, thereby adding to its overall quantity, but only to abandon history painting for ever. Merely a handful of artists held on to this subject matter throughout their careers. Stroebel was one of those few. His choice may have originated in individual interests, but will certainly have been influenced by the growing popularity of his personal brand - his rendering of natural sunlight in historical interiors. In spite of criticism of his technical qualities he was a respected artist and successful in exhibiting and selling his work. The results of earlier research into the reception of historical genre scenes in European countries other than the Netherlands suggest that the appreciation for Stroebel's work is likely to have been inspired by a lively cultural historical interest on the part of his admirers. A closer scrutiny of that appreciation however has shown that it was not so much the artist's presentation of life in the Netherland's Golden Age as his particular use of sunlight, often described as Rembrandtesque and almost invariably as charming, even delightful, that caught the attention and fuelled the enthusiasm of his Dutch contemporaries.","PeriodicalId":39579,"journal":{"name":"OUD HOLLAND","volume":"33 1","pages":"191-215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84926104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Civic group portraits from Bruges have received scant attention in the literature, and very little was known about Philips Bernaerts. Archival documents have aided the following reconstruction of how \"The board of governors of the Bruges surgeons\" came to be made, and demonstrate that the surgeons were a very active professional guild in the second half of the seventeenth century. The commission of this civic group portrait was an expression of their growing self-assurance and cohesion as a group. New biographical discoveries shed a light on the professional knowledge and activities of the II surgeons. They also tell us something about their personalities. Now, for the first time, it is posible to suggest a name for the candidate surgeon. The art-historical literature places the Ghent painter Philips Bernaerts, who was active there from 1640 onwards, alongside a namesake in Bruges. The archival research carried out for this article now reveals that they are one and the same person. Philips Bernaerts married Johanna Vandenberghe, with whom he had at least seven children in Ghent between 1651 an 1664. He died in Bruges on 18 August 1683, and was buried there in the friary of the Franciscan Recollects. Thanks to these new discoveries it is possible to sketch the first complete picture of Bernaerts's artistic activity. He was a prominent figure in the world of Ghent painters from 1646 to 1658-1660, among other things as member of the board of governors. He painted numerous works for religious houses and churches in and around Ghent, and in Bruges as well, mostly large altarpieces. Bernaerts is highly rated for his composition and colouring. Stylistically he was clearly indebted to Gaspar de Crayed (1584-1669), and Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640). In 1677 Bernaerts became a master painter in Bruges and executed his large civic group portrait of \"The board of governors of the Bruges surgeons\" that same year. The canvas is an exception in his oeuvre in that he is not known to have painted any other portraits. There is no information about his artistic output after 1677.","PeriodicalId":39579,"journal":{"name":"OUD HOLLAND","volume":"65 1","pages":"149-166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81428578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
