A new issue of Simiolus appeared. The issue contains four papers on the work of Dutch sculptor Johan Gregor van der Schardt (ca. 1530-1581). The artist toured Italy in the 1560s and specialized in painted terracotta busts. His self-portrait (ca. 1573) is one of the hundred Dutch and Flemish works of art in the CODART Canon.
