Overview

Many Netherlandish artists spread all over Europe and a remarkable number among them achieved great fame and exerted considerable influence on the artistic production of their time. Nevertheless most of them sank into oblivion soon after they died. Dutch art history neglected them for a long time as they did not fit into the traditional canon of the Low Countries, nor were they adopted by the art histories of their new homelands. This new NKJ volume is an attempt to change this.

These essays trace the broad diaspora of Netherlandish artists from the Iberian Peninsula to Eastern Europe, from the North Sea to the Mediterranean. In doing so, this volume reshapes what Netherlandish art is, where it is found, and what its impact has been. By combining studies of different types of visual production instead of separating them by media, the editors have presented a richer and more cohesive view of early modern visual culture. The volume also stresses the significance of working beyond national borders. The intersection of the local and the pan-European raises questions about not only the role and identity of the Netherlandish artist, but about historiographical and methodological practices. As such, it is instructive reading for both the subject specialist and those whose scholarship lies beyond the borders of Dutch art. Saskia Beranek, University of Pittsburgh
