NETHERLANDISH PAINTING 1400-1700,FROM VAN EYCK TO VAN DYCK The seminar will cover a period of three centuries, in which at relatively small western European territory rich merchant cities with significant artistic centres were constituted and flourished. In addition to purely art-historical aspects of the Netherlandish and later Flemish and Dutch painting the seminar will also incorporate aspects of cultural history. Wealth, that arised from trade with almost the entire then known world, provided the cities like Antwerp, Bruges, Ghent, Brussels and later Amsterdam, Haarlem and Leyden background for specific development, not only political, but also artistic. The conflicts, that occured here in the second half of the 16th century did not remain the rest of Europe without response and without any exaggeration, affected its further development. On the artistic field, in many corners of Europe the Netherlandish painters and sculptors were active and whether directly or indirectly shaped the face of late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque art of local as well as more cosmopolitan schools. During seminar we will look under the brushes of painters called Flemish Primitives, Robert Campin (Master of Flémalle), Jan and Hubert van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, Petrus Christus, Dieric Bouts, Hugo van der Goes, Hans Memling, Geertgen tot Sint Jans or Gerard David. We will connect their arts with specific aspects of Duchy of Burgundy and later Habsburg Netherlands in the 15th and on the beggining of the 16th century. Following by artists, active mostly in the 16th century, Quentin Massys, Joachim Patinir, Joos van Cleve, Jan Gossaert, Jan Mostaert, Lucas van Leyden, Jan van Scorel, Pieter Brueghel and younger Hendrik Goltzius, Cornelis van Haarlem and others. With focus mostly on Netherlandish connotations the artists active on the court of the emperor Rudolf II. will be presented (Bartholomeus Spranger, Dirck de Quade van Ravensteyn, Joris Hoefnagel, Pieter Stevens, Aegidius Sadeler and Roelant Savery. The adequate space will be devoted to Netherlandish Bourgeois revolution, that in the 2nd half of the 16th century devided the land to Spanish, southern part and northern, Republic of the seven united provincies. The land was also divided denominattionaly. It caused slightly diffent artistic development and especially on the north, the genre specialization of the painters. The revolution was accompanied by concomitant phenomena, directly affecting fine arts, like iconoclasm and fast, significant changes of artistic taste. The Golden Age of The Netherlandish art, both Dutch and Flemish, will be introduced on the examples of the most significant artists. The seminar will also include a separate lecture on painting specializations, which already at the 16th century started to occur in the everyday operation of painting workshops and subsequently developed to an independent phenomenon. Special attention will be paid to the Netherlandish artists, active through all three centuries, in Central Europa.
Basic knowledge of the Netherlandish painting of the 15th till 17th century. Understanding the specifics of development and their impact on the visual arts.
