Voor Rembrandt kwam kunst altijd op de eerste plaats. Toch was hij beslist geen eenzaam zwoegend genie. Hij had familie, vrienden en relaties die hem hielpen, die zijn kunstwerken kochten, die hem geld leenden, die hem artistiek uitdaagden en inspireerden. Zonder hen was Rembrandt nooit zo?n groot kunstenaar geworden.00In de zeventiende eeuw was je sociale netwerk van levensbelang. Voor het lenen van geld, het opzetten van je bedrijf en het vinden van klanten was je aangewezen op je vrienden en vooral je familie (?bloedvrienden?). Dat gold ook voor Rembrandt. Wie waren zijn belangrijkste vrienden en wat hebben zij voor hem betekend? Dit boek brengt ze in kaart: de jeugdvrienden, familieleden, bevriende leerlingen, de kunstkenners en zijn ware vrienden.00Als vriend blijkt Rembrandt een eigenzinnig persoon. Hij investeerde niet veel in een goede relatie met de elite, maar omringde zich liever met mensen die verstand hadden van kunst. Bovendien liet hij zijn dierbaren vaak model zitten, wat resulteerde in opvallend informele en intieme voorstellingen ? ze brengen je vlakbij Rembrandts privéwereld.00Exhibition: Museum het Rembrandthuis, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (01.02.-19.05.2019).

Rembrandts paintings have been admired throughout centuries because of their artistic freedom. But Rembrandt was also a craftsman whose painting technique was rooted the tradition. Rembrandt—The Painter at Work is the result of a lifelong search for Rembrandt's working methods, his intellectual approach to the art of painting and the way in which his studio functioned. Ernst van de Wetering demonstrates how this knowledge can be used to tackle questions about authenticity and other art-historical issues. Approximately 350 illustrations, half of which are reproduced in colour, make this book into a monumental tribute to one of the worlds most important painters. "The book is—if one may be allowed to say such a thing about a serious scholarly work—a gripping good-read.' Christopher White, The Burlington Magazine "This is a very rich book, a deeply felt analysis of an artist whom the author knows better than almost any other living scholar." Christopher Brown, Times Literary Supplement

Looking at the ways in which the memory of slavery affects present-day relations in Amsterdam, this ethnographic account reveals a paradox: while there is growing official attention to the country’s slavery past (monuments, festivals, ritual occasions), many interlocutors showed little interest in the topic. Developing the notion of “trace” as a seminal notion to explore this paradox, this book follows the issue of slavery in everyday realities and offers a fine-grained ethnography of how people refer to this past – often in almost unconscious ways – and weave it into their perceptions of present-day issues.

Sex and Drugs Before the Rock ’n’ Rollis a fascinating volume that presents an engaging overview of what it was like to be young and male in the Dutch Golden Age. Here, well-known cohorts of Rembrandt are examined for the ways in which they expressed themselves by defying conservative values and norms. This study reveals how these young men rebelled, breaking from previous generations: letting their hair grow long, wearing colorful clothing, drinking excessively, challenging city guards, being promiscuous, smoking, and singing lewd songs. Cogently argued, this study paints a compelling portrait of the youth culture of the Dutch Golden Age, at a time when the rising popularity of print made dissemination of new cultural ideas possible, while rising incomes and liberal attitudes created a generation of men behaving badly.

Rembrandt's Money, The legal and financial life of an artist-entrepreneur in 17th century Holland' offers a comprehensive overview of the legal and financial aspects of the life and work of Rembrandt (1606-1669). This topic has rarely been the subject of systematic legal-historical research. The author is the first to investigate the financial and legal aspects of Rembrandt's life, including the many legal disputes and conflicts which have occurred or have surrounded him during the larger part of over forty years of his private and professional life. These concern his private life as well as his work as an artist ? from a young master in Leiden in the mid-1620s, to a celebrated entrepreneur in the third and fourth decades of 17th century Amsterdam, culminating in financial distress in the latter part of his life. Along the way, the book also sheds light on on the socio-economic, cultural and historical context of the period covered and the environments (citizenry of Amsterdam, complex religious circles, business network) Rembrandt interacted with. The reader will reach a deeper understanding of the local and social Amsterdam history and a part of its local legal system--éd.

"Bedaux brings the discussion of meaning in northern painting back to the basics: the description of real objects, the evocation of everyday associations, the employment of standard visual metaphors, symbols and allegories. With the first publication of an eighteenth-century iconographical program drawn up by the Hague painter Mattheus Verheyden, he demonstrates the continued importance of allegory, that stepchild of iconography." -- Cover page 4.

Truly collaborative paintings, that is, not simply mechanical but also conceptual co-productions, are rare in the history of art. This gorgeously illustrated catalogue explores just such an extraordinary partnership between Antwerp's most eminent painters of the early seventeenth century, Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) and Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568-1625). Rubens and Brueghel executed approximately twenty-five works together between around 1597 and Brueghel's death in 1625. Highly prized and sought after by collectors throughout Europe, the collaborative works of Rubens and Brueghel were distinguished by an extremely high level of quality, further enhanced by the status of the artists themselves. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Getty Museum to be held July 5 to September 24, 2006, the catalogue features twenty-six color plates of such Rubens/Brueghel paintings as The Return from War, The Feast of Achelo�s, and Madonna and Child in a Garland of Flowers, along with Rubens and Brueghel's collaborations with important contemporaries such as Frans Snyders and Hendrick van Balen. This is the first such publication to fully address and reproduce these works in depth.
