'With almost 600 sheets, the staedelmuseum has the most extensive collection of 18th-century Dutch drawings outside the Netherlands and Belgium. Together with the museum's database, the catalogue is a long-awaited reference work.' Marleen Ram:

'If scholars have heard of the artist Karel van Mander III (1609-1670), it is more than likely because of Juliette Roding’s work. He was for nearly his entire career active in Denmark.' See Angela Jager's review on:

Ernst Brinck wrote that Rembrandt had sold a print with the subject 'Let the children come to me' (Matt 19) for 100 guilders. The note establishes that Rembrandt himself sold the work for that amount, in 1648 or 1649. Michiel Roscam Abbing in Oud Holland: oudholland.rkd.nl/index.php/news…

With four poignant commentaries on four publications, Oud Holland sends its greetings to our readers in the remaining winter weeks.

The portrait of Emperor Charles V on the window shutter in this painting by Pieter de Hooch may have been a critique of a type of 'poor relief'. The word 'hofje' after all means 'small court'. Elizabeth den Hartog in our latest issue. oudholland.rkd.nl/index.php/news…

'Why would Paris lack the “striking diversity of voices and the proliferation of opinions” and “shifting hybridity” that, as Dierckx convincingly argues, so strikingly characterised the Brussels art scene?' Tom Verschaffel about 'Pro arte! Cui bono!'.

Julia Krikke on Hendrik Willem Mesdag’s work for the World’s Fair in St. Louis (1904): 'The selection was designed to uphold the existing image of Dutch art – as realistic, simple and pure – which enjoyed great popularity in the United States.' oudholland.rkd.nl/index.php/news…

Hoe verhoudt toeval zich tot artistiek succes? In de vroegmoderne tijd was dat een veelbesproken onderwerp, schrijft kunsthistoricus Elmer Kolfin in Oud Holland. 'Het vinden van een mecenas werd gezien als de beste garantie tegen de grillen van het lot.' go.uva.nl/3UYEwUU
