CODART, Dutch and Flemish art in museums worldwide

Print Quarterly June 2024 (Vol. XLI, No. 2) Issue Published

One article and two book reviews in the June 2024 issue of Print Quarterly may be of interest to CODART members for their material relating to Dutch and Flemish artists and the wider activities of the region.

Pieter Martens’s article on Hieronymus Cock discusses his overlooked battle and siege prints, particularly the fresh insights one can gather when examining the recently discovered one depicting the Siege of Centallo, 1558. An unpublished Spanish account of the siege and a handful of fortification plans is used to assess the accuracy of Cock’s print. This is followed by a reconsideration of the small group of prints of current battles and sieges etched by Cock himself, a neglected but significant part of the artist’s oeuvre.

Marisa Bass has reviewed Edward Wouk’s first complete English translation of Domenicus Lampsonius’ The Life of Lambert Lombard (1565); and Effigies of Several Famous Painters from the Low Countries (1572).

Finally, Joanna Sheers Seidenstein discusses Amy Golahny’s in-depth publication about Rembrandt’s Hundred Guilder Print.
