Three Notes in the September 2025 issue of Print Quarterly may be of interest to CODART members for their material relating to Dutch and Flemish artists.

Dagmar Korbacher’s Note reviewing Making Her Mark: A History of Women Artists in Europe, 1400–1800 highlights the catalogue’s broad approach to discussing women’s art production across all media, citing the centrality of printmaking as a visual source. Within this, the social and gendered contexts of printmaking are also discussed, as well as a call to action towards better research methodologies pertaining to individuals beyond the master artist.

Meanwhile, Daniel Godfrey’s Note discusses Gwendoline de Mûelenaere’s recently published PhD dissertation on Early Modern Thesis Prints in the Southern Netherlands: An Iconological Analysis of the Relationship between Art, Science and Power. He mentions the text’s basic structure, which includes a catalogue of 92 prints with their preparatory drawings, and acknowledges the great variety within the thesis print genre.

Finally, Meredith M. Hale’s Note on Visualising Protestant Monarchy: Ceremony, Art and Politics after the Glorious Revolution (1689–1714) praises the author’s comparative analysis of ceremony in the reigns of William III and Mary II (1689–1702) and Queen Anne (1702–14), especially the material aspects of ceremony and their pictorial strategies.
