Rijks : masters of the Golden Age : paintings from the Gallery of Honour
A visit to an historic museum offers visitors insight into the social, cultural, political and aesthetic values of times gone by. Yet truly great works of art live vividly, continuing to thrill and educate for centuries regardless of age. This idea of timelessness is the theme explored in Marcel Wanders' new book publication \"Masters of the Golden Age: Paintings from the Gallery of Honour\". Closed for many years for redevelopment, the 2013 reopening of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and especially the Gallery of Honour is cause for both celebration, and an opportunity for a fresh interpretation of the works that sit within. The key to true connection is the ability to understand the contemporary relevance of historic images. Within \"Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age: Paintings from the Gallery of Honour\", Marcel Wanders seeks to explore the timelessness of select artworks and to expose their contemporary significance. The book also features interviews with thirty experts across a variety of fields that discuss elements held within the profiled art works.

Rembrandt, Vermeer, and the Gift in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Art
Rembrandt, Vermeer, and the Gift in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Art offers a new perspective on the art of the Dutch Golden Age by exploring the interaction between the gift's symbolic economy of reciprocity and obligation and the artistic culture of early modern Holland. Gifts of art were pervasive in seventeenth-century Europe, and many Dutch artists, like their counterparts elsewhere, embraced gift giving to cultivate relations with patrons, art lovers, and other members of their social networks. Rembrandt also created distinctive works to function within a context of gift exchange, and both Rembrandt and Vermeer engaged the ethics of the gift to identify their creative labor as motivated by what contemporaries called a \"love of art,\" not materialistic gain. In the merchant republic's vibrant market for art, networks of gift relations and the anti-economic rhetoric of the gift mingled with the growing dimension of commerce, revealing a unique chapter in the interconnected history of gift giving and art making.

Book
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.

Vermeer and the masters of genre painting : inspiration and rivalry
\"A landmark exploration of the engaging network of relationships among genre painters of the Dutch Golden Age The genre painting of the Dutch Golden Age between 1650 and 1675 ranks among the highest pinnacles of Western European art. The virtuosity of these works, as this book demonstrates, was achieved in part thanks to a vibrant artistic rivalry among numerous first-rate genre painters working in different cities across the Dutch Republic. They drew inspiration from each other's painting, and then tried to surpass each other in technical prowess and aesthetic appeal. The Delft master Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) is now the most renowned of these painters of everyday life. Though he is frequently portrayed as an enigmatic figure who worked largely in isolation, the essays here reveal that Vermeer's subjects, compositions, and figure types in fact owe much to works by artists from other Dutch cities. Enlivened with 180 superb illustrations, Vermeer and the Masters of Genre Painting highlights the relationships - comparative and competitive - among Vermeer and his contemporaries, including Gerrit Dou, Gerard ter Borch, Jan Steen, Pieter de Hooch, Gabriel Metsu, and Frans van Mieris\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Two \New\ Seventeenth-Century Portraits of Shakespeare
Boswell examines the first of two portraits of Shakespeare auctioned in the latter part of the 17th century. During this period, English entrepreneurs enthusiastically adopted the Dutch innovation of disposing of fine art collections by auction; before long, they began selling books in the same manner. There were two methods of sale, by \"outcry\" and by \"inch of candle.\" The first method is self-evident and is still in vogue at rural auctions; in the second, an inch-high candle was lit, and the auction item was taken by the last bid before the candle extinguished itself.

Dutch Masters: The Modern Realism of the Reformation
The Dutch Masters Exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria is the most comprehensive display of seventeenth-century Dutch art ever seen in Australia. Rarely has a school of art emerged which so effectively captures a crucial moment of social, economic and artistic change. But this exhibition pushes us to go further and ponder just what it was that happened in Europe at the time that makes these works so strikingly exceptional and also strangely contemporary. Works by Jacob van Ruisdael, Pieter Jansz Saenredam, Hans Holbein, Nicolaes Maes, Alrecht Durer, Jan Steen and others are discussed.
