Until the early seventeenth century, the distribution of paintings and other art works was in the hands of the artists, but after that to an increasing extent it was taken on by specialists.The most important art dealers were active in Amsterdam, the art centre par excellence . Hendrick Uylenburgh and his son Gerrit Uylenburgh were leading figures among these dealers. The Uylenburghs, father and son, ran an art business and at the same time headed a painters' workshop where renowned artists worked. Rembrandt worked for this business from 1631 to 1635. He painted countless commissioned portraits and as well as historical paintings and tronies also did grisailles and etchings. While working for this business he met Saskia Uylenburgh, a cousin of the art dealer, whom he married in 1634. Uylenburgh &amp; Son provides insight into the nature and significance of the Uylenburghs' enterprise and also discusses their investors and customers. A great deal of new material has been found about the Uylenburgh fam

This richly illustrated and ground-breaking volume reassesses the relationship between art, material culture and politics in the early modern period. Focusing on festivals and processions, it shows that these played a highly significant role in the life of early modern city-dwellers. In particular, there was a flourishing of urban ceremony in the southern Low Countries, in the great cities of Brabant, in the wake of the Dutch Revolt. This book traces the origins of that flourishing in the political ructions of the 1560-1580s. It also shows that, contrary to received scholarly opinion, early modern urban festivals simultaneously involved and appealed to ordinary people. It was a common and collaborative art form, a way of soliciting broad popular support for civic and princely governments alike.

Up until now in histiography about the origins of the monarchy, little attention has been given to the Kingdom of Holland. Louis Napolean's kingship appears to represent little more than an opportunity for the Dutch people to already gain some experience of having a monarchy. Louis' implemented royal representation comes up against a similar disregard, yet it is an interesting example of invented tradition. In 2006, it is exactly two centuries since the Dutch republic, under the leadership of Louis Napolean, was changed into a kingdom. This dramatic event, which undoubtedly made a real difference, also to Dutch cultural life, is the theme of this Nederlands Kunsthistorisch Jaarboek (Dutch Art Historical Year Book). The general underlying question of how Louis Napolean gave form to the 'national kingship' he advocated is answered on the basis of much new source material. Topics covered include national art and decorative arts exhibitions, order of knights, modernisation plans for Amsterdam, ditto

Floral still lifes are among the most popular paintings at the Mauritshuis. The museum has a fine collection of painted bouquets of flowers from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries by floral specialists like Ambrosius Bosschaert, Willem van Aelst, Jan Davidsz de Heem and Rachel Ruysch. This whimsically designed book, intended for a wide public, is about these floral still lifes. It explores the sudden emergence of the genre shortly after 1600, the role botanists played, the rarity of the flowers represented and the tulip fever, which claimed so many victims in 1637. The book guides you through the changes that have taken place over two hundred years in floral still life painting, while close-up images enable you to admire a bouquet of flowers bloom by bloom.

This book about Jan van Huysum is a welcome acquisition for art- and flower-lovers alike. Not only is attention given to the painterly qualities and the art-historical aspects of his work, but it includes charts identifying all the plants, flowers and animals depicted. The Amsterdam artist Jan van Huysum (1682-1749) is one of the most important painters of fruit and flowers of all time. His work conveys unsurpassed craftsmanship, a deep attention for the subject matter as well as great refinement and subtlety. He was the best-paid painter of the 18th century and was regarded as one of the pre-eminent artists of his time. He received commissions from many of Europe's monarchs and aristocracy, received great acclaim during his lifetime, and his work has also remained highly appreciated and expensive. His influence on European still-life art remained noticeable for at least a century after his death. This publication focuses on Jan van Huysum's life, family and background. At the same time his predece
