Staatliches Museum Schwerin, 24.2.?28.5.2012 Centraal Museum, Utrecht, 11.11.2011 ? 5.2.2012 The father of the Utrecht School experienced and formed in his long life as an artist (1566?1651) at least three important styles of art: mannerism, caravaggism and classicism. Bloemaert created works in all genres except of portraits. He left many drawings and spread his compositions in copper engravings as well. Besides Rembrandt there is no artist with such a wide influence on the art of painting in the 17th century in the northern Netherlands. For the first time this important, but little-known artist is presented in an exhibtion. The catalogue shows life and work of Bloemaert with the help of many colour images.‎

‎World of Gerard van Honthorst‎

‎, WBooks, 2026 Hardcover, 320 pages, 25.5 x 19.5 cm, EN. *NEW. ISBN 9789462587458.‎

‎The story of one of the most celebrated painters of the Northern Netherlands Because of his unconventional, un-Dutch style, Gerard van Honthorst has to this day remained relatively overlooked. This is unjustified, for until 1650 Van Honthorst was one of the most successful and influential painters of the Northern Netherlands. This book tells the story of Van Honthorst: his youth as the eldest child in the family, his training in Utrecht, and how, as a young adult, he set out on an adventure to Italy and came to live in Rome, where he spent perhaps the most successful and happiest years of his life. It describes how he returned to his homeland, started a family, and managed to reinvent himself. It recounts his success beyond the national borders, and how he embarked on a second career path in The Hague that brought him prosperity and social standing. The World of Gerard van Honthorst describes his quest on the basis of a wealth of new insights into his career, his oeuvre, and the various artistic and cultural environments in which he worked.‎

‎Bentvueghels, een berucht kunstgenootschap in Rome 1620-1720‎

‎De bewogen opkomst en ondergang van een Nederlands kunstgenootschap in Rome In de zeventiende eeuw had het Rome van Caravaggio en zijn tijdgenoten een enorme aantrekkingskracht op Nederlandse kunstenaars. Eenmaal in de Italiaanse stad aangekomen, wachtte hun echter geen gespreid bedje. De kunstenaars kregen vaak te maken met tegenslagen, van armoede en buitenlandse concurrentie tot geweld en zelfs moordpartijen. Om weerstand te bieden aan deze beproevingen, zochten ze steun bij elkaar. Zo ontstond het kunstgenootschap de Bentvueghels. Wat volgde was een roerige periode vol drank, beruchte verenigingsrituelen en regels die overschreden werden, met uiteindelijk een verbod van de paus als gevolg. In De Bentvueghels neemt kunsthistoricus Liesbeth M. Helmus ons mee naar deze onstuimige periode in Rome, waarvan de invloeden vandaag de dag nog altijd in de bekende zeventiende-eeuwse werken te vinden zijn.‎
