‎Dit boek, uitgegeven naar aanleiding van de succesvolle tentoonstelling in 1998, is een unieke bron van informatie voor de regeerperiode van Albrecht en Isabella in de Nederlanden (1598-1621). Zo?n 400 jaar geleden was het hof te Brussel, dankzij hun mecenaat en cosmopolitische geest, een model voor de andere Europese vorstenhuizen van die tijd. De aartshertogen leverden een belangrijke bijdrage tot de uitstraling van wat later de ?Vlaamse barok? zal genoemd worden. De eeuw van Pieter Paul Rubens lijkt nu ondenkbaar zonder de steun van dit vorstenpaar. This book is a selected collection of essays on the court of Archdukes Albert and Isabella in the Low Countries as a flourishing centre of arts, and on their great contribution towards the radiation of the style later known as Flemish Baroque. The Rule of the Archdukes Albert & Isabella over the Low Countries began in 1598, exactly 400 years ago. Their highly cosmopolitan court became a flourishing centre of the arts, a showcase for other courts throughout Europe. The archdukes made a great contribution towards the radiation of the style later known as 'Flemish Baroque'. The century of Peter Paul Rubens would never have been the same without the support of Albert and Isabella. In the Habsburg Netherlands, a region split by civil war, the protestant Northern Provinces had broken away from Catholic Spain, while Spanish rule was established in the Southern Netherlands. The confidence between sovereign and subject would be restored by the Archdukes. The Twelve Year Truce (1609-1621) brought the necessary peace for a political, economic and in particular cultural revival. Albert and Isabella surrounded themselves with a score of artists, including the architects Wenzel Coebergher and Jacques Franckaert, the composer Peter Philips and the court painters, Peter Paul Rubens in the first place, but also Jan I Brueghel, Otto Van Veen and Theodoor van Loon. The South-Netherlandish humanists, Justus Lipsius in particular, brought about an intellectual apogee. With contributions by: W. Thomas, J. Martinez-Millan, R. Valladares, T. DaCosta Kaufmann, A.

‎Hendrick De Clerck Politiek en schilderkunst, Hendrick De Clerck (1560-1630) en de keizerlijke ambities van de aartshertogen Albrecht en Isabella‎

‎Politieke propaganda avant la lettre Op een handvol kunsthistorici na heeft geen gezond mens ooit al gehoord van de Brusselse schilder Hendrick De Clerck (1560-1630). Nochtans was De Clerck een tijdgenoot van Peter Paul Rubens en werkte ook hij voor de aartshertogen Albrecht en Isabella. Maar waar de grote Peter Paul de geschiedenis in ging als artistieke trendsetter en schilderende krachtpatser, werd Hendrick De Clerck roemloos vergeten. Toch zijn de fijnzinnige en kleurrijke taferelen die De Clerck schildert voor Albrecht en Isabella politieke propaganda van het hoogste niveau. En daarin is the sky the limit: de infante Isabella wordt er opgevoerd als wijze Minerva, kuise Diana of Maagd Maria. Dat is nog niets in vergelijking met haar echtgenoot: op De Clercks schilderijen verandert Albrecht in de zonnegod Apollo, of in Jezus Christus zelf. Slimme beeldstrategieen maken Hendrick De Clerck zo tot een vergeten hoofdrolspeler in een van de meest ambitieuze projecten die de geschiedenis ooit heeft gezien. Voor wie weet hoe ze te lezen, vertellen zijn schilderijen een verhaal van macht, politieke beloftes, en een ietwat gezwollen zelfbeeld. Want ook als vorst ben je slechts zo belangrijk als je jezelf maakt‎
