Jan van Noordt
De Witt offers a detailed biography based on a thorough review of the documentary evidence. He traces Van Noordt's origins back to a prominent musical family, details his artistic development under the guidance of prominent Amsterdam painter Jacob Adriaensz Backer, and reveals his synthesis of the styles of the two dominant Netherlandish artists, Rubens and Rembrandt. Using a systematic analysis of technique, manner, and approach to form, de Witt proves that over half the paintings and drawings presently attributed to Van Noordt are not his work - virtually recasting the accomplishments of an artist whose vibrant, often daring works challenge our concept of seventeenth-century Dutch art.

Os valores e tradições medievais desmoronavam-se, abrindo caminho para um novo universo onde a fé perdia o seu poder e muita da sua magia.Bosch decidiu avisar os cépticos sobre os perigos a que se submetiam todos aqueles que perdiam a fé em Deus. Acreditando que cada um devia fazer as suas próprias escolhas morais, concentrou-se nos temas do inferno, paraíso e luxúria, explorando de forma brilhante o simbolismo duma grande variedade de frutos e plantas às quais associou uma forte conotação sexual.
