Antwerp in the Renaissance offers new research results and fresh perspectives on the economic, cultural, and social history of the Antwerp metropolis in the sixteenth century. This book engages with Antwerp in the Renaissance. Bringing together several specialists of sixteenth-century Antwerp, it offers new research results and fresh perspectives on the economic, cultural and social history of the metropolis in the sixteenth century. Recurrent themes are the creative ways in which the Italian renaissance was translated in the Antwerp context. Imperfect imitation often resulted from the specific social context in which the renaissance was translated: Antwerp was a metropolis marked by a strong commercial ideology, a high level affluence and social inequality, but also by the presence of large and strong middling layers, which contributed to the city?s ?bourgeois? character. The growth of the Antwerp market was remarkable: in no time the city gained metropolitan status. This book does a good job in showing how quite a few of the Antwerp ?achievements? did result from the absence of ?existing structures? and ?examples?. Moreover, the city and its culture were given shape by the many frictions, and uncertainties that came along with rapid urban growth and religious turmoil. Bruno Blond and Jeroen Puttevils are colleagues at the Centre for Urban History at the University of Antwerp. The research fields of Blond include the history of transportation, economic growth and social inequality, material culture, retail and consumption of the early modern Low Countries. Puttevils works on the late medieval Low Countries and deals with topics such as mercantile and financial culture, the history of lotteries and how people thought about the future in the past.

Philip Marnix van Sint Aldegonde to Lode Craeybeckx and Jan Van Rijswijck to Patrick Janssens and Bart De Wever. The Town Hall at the Grote Markt knew in the course of history many mayors. But the building is a story in itself. The 450 year old building has to say over what happens in 't Clean Floor. This publication tells the rich story of this famous monument. This 450th anniversary will not go unnoticed, if only because the Town Hall is the only building in Antwerp on the UNESCO World Heritage site that still holds its original function. Antwerp city celebrates this anniversary for a whole year, from February 2015 to February 2016 with numerous events In 1565 the people of Antwerp proudly opened their new city hall. The Renaissance palazzo shone the greatness and autonomy of a world out. Shortly after the town hall burned out and lost Antwerp gradually starring role. But the city council went on decorating the town hall, with sculptures of Baurscheit, and paintings by Rubens, Metsijs, Francken, Van Veen or the Succa. Two hundred years later the city was what dozed off and showed the layout of the now very weathered building unusable. Shortage of money and lack of interest kept everything as it was. Yet assiduous city architects were more and more signs plans. The renovations from 1860 were in line with the tradition of greatness and autonomy: when was upstairs really Cleaning Floor. Re-did the city appeal to artists of the time such as Henri Leys and painters who were attached to the Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts. This book takes the reader into the long history of the city hall of Antwerp. The book places the city hall in the context of political events and administrative history. The authors devote extensive attention to the architecture, building history and the role of the Market.
Jan de Beer, Gothic Renewal in Renaissance Antwerp. The first published monograph on the Antwerp painter Jan de Beer (c.1475-1527 /28), with an oeuvre catalogue
, BREPOLS, 2016 Hardcover with dusjacket VI+385 pages., 62 b/w ill. + 203 colour ill., 210 x 297 mm Illustrated.Languages: English, Middle Dutch. ISBN 9782503555317.
The first published monograph on the Antwerp painter Jan de Beer (c.1475-1527 /28), with an oeuvre catalogue The Antwerp painter Jan de Beer (c.1475-1527/28) was highly esteemed in his lifetime and still famous forty years after his death, but then fell into oblivion until the early twentieth century. This monograph is the first published, comprehensive study of his art and career. Its biography is the result of a thorough search of the archives and includes a recently discovered teaching contract with Lieven van Male of Ghent. All documents are fully transcribed, including documents for the artist's painter-son, Aert de Beer (c.1508-1538/40). Results from technical studies of the artist's work, including underdrawings and dendrochronological dating, are incorporated throughout the book. The artist's surviving oeuvre consists of forty works, mainly devotional paintings and triptychs but also a dozen drawings and a stained glass window in Antwerp Cathedral after a lost design. De Beer's stylish, elegant art exerted a powerful appeal upon the buying public, churches abroad, and copyists. His lost Adoration of the Magi was the best-selling painting design in Antwerp at the time. De Beer is further important as one of only two Antwerp artists of his generation for whom a significant body of drawings exists. The catalogue of paintings and drawings by the artist and his workshop, including the numerous copies and variants, comes to over 170 works. De Beer's art is typically associated with the work of the Antwerp Mannerists, a prominent group of painters active in the city during his lifetime. This study argues that De Beer's work, plus that of the Mannerists and the city's retable carvers, should be understood as a novel, modern expression of late Gothic art, a sixteenth-century renewal of the Gothic mode that was also manifested in contemporary architecture, calligraphy, music and poetry. Dan Ewing (1949) completed his dissertation on Jan de Beer at the University of Michigan in 1978. He is Professor of Art History at Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida, and has published on De Beer, Jan van Eyck, and Michelangelo. In 1990 his archival study of the Antwerp Cathedral account books for the Pand art market, 1460-1560, was published in The Art Bulletin. In 2005 he was a contributing author for the Antwerp exhibition, ExtravagAnt! A Forgotten Chapter of Antwerp Art, 1500-1530. He contributed to the 2007 Patinir exhibition in Madrid and the 2011 Joos van Cleve exhibition in Aachen. Among his many research grants are an award from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and two awards from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

From Shtetl to Shtetl: Antwerp and the Red Star Line as an anchor point for the historic Jewish migration to the New World
Antwerp, Van Campenhout, 2023 geniet, 50 pages, illustrations.21x15cm.
The unique story of the exodus of millions of Jews, fleeing Eastern Europe from the horrifying pogroms during the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century. Their journey to the New York Shtetl ended sometimes in the Antwerp Shtetl, for various reasons...- - During the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, fleeing poverty and persecution, millions of Jews left their familiar Eastern European Shtetls in search of a new and better life in the United States. Antwerp and the Red Star Line played a crucial role in this endeavor. Many succeeded in making the journey to the promised land, but thousands of others, for medical, economic, or social reasons, chose to stay in Antwerp and contributed to the growth and prosperity of our Jewish community. "From Shtetl to Shtetl" tells the fascinating and poignant story of the largest migration wave ever in Europe and explains the unbreakable bond between the Jewish Shtetls of New York and Antwerp. Honorary Vice Mayor and Honorary Member of Parliament Ludo Van Campenhout (b. 1966) is an Antwerp economist and writer. During his rich political career, he developed an increasingly close friendship with the Jewish community. He studies Yiddish and Hebrew and engaged with the Jewish community in various ways out of deep affinity. This will soon result in the publication of the comprehensive book 'Our Shtetl,' which provides a complete and fascinating overview of the intertwined history of the Jewish community in Antwerp. --------- Tijdens het einde van de 19e en het begin van de 20e eeuw verlieten miljoenen Joden, op de vlucht voor armoede en vervolging, hun vertrouwde Oost-Europese sjtetls op zoek naar een nieuw en beter leven in de Verenigde Staten. Antwerpen en de Red Star Line speelden daarbij een cruciale rol. Velen slaagden erin de reis naar het beloofde land te maken, maar duizenden anderen kozen er om medische, economische of sociale redenen voor om in Antwerpen te blijven en droegen bij tot de groei en welvaart van onze Joodse gemeenschap. ?Van Shtetl tot Shtetl? vertelt het fascinerende en aangrijpende verhaal van de grootste migratiegolf ooit in Europa en verklaart de onbreekbare band tussen de Joodse sjtetls van New York en Antwerpen.
