Volume 17.1 (2025) of the refereed, open-access Journal of Historians of Netherlandish Art appeared last August on jhna.org.

In this issue, three articles provide new insights into visual culture and ideas of place in addressing Hans Holbein’s vignettes for a collaborative map of the world produced in 1532; Dutch ships and their intersection with Scandinavian art collections; and a reassessment of paintings by Joachim Patinir and Herri met de Bles through a geomythological framework. This issue also offers, as the third installment of JHNA Conversations, a curatorial roundtable on the current state of collecting and presenting the work of women artists of the Low Countries.
