RKD Bulletin 2021-1 Now Published

The RKD Bulletin 2021-1 has been published and contains two articles that might be of interest to our members:

The first is an article by Angela Jager on a complete series of copies after the currently incomplete series The Five Senses by Karel van Mander III (1609-1670) in a Danish private collection. With the help of the copies, some original paintings were recovered and Jager was able to form a picture of the series as a whole for the first time. The second is an interview by Sytske Weidema with Maryan Ainsworth who, at the beginning of 2020, donated her important archive to the RKD. The archive consists of the results of 40 years of technical art historical research into hundreds of paintings from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries,

About the RKD Bulletin

The RKD Bulletin is a digital magazine published by the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History and appears twice a year thanks to an annual grant from the Friends of the RKD (Cornelis Hofstede de Groot Foundation). The RKD Bulletin contains art-historical contributions, written by RKD staff, associated and external researchers, students, and interns, on current RKD-related research on the art of the Netherlands in an international context and other art-historical topics. This makes it not only a platform for advanced researchers but also a testbed for young art historians. The Bulletin is intended for an international audience of curators, scholars, students, art professionals, and enthusiasts, and appears in both Dutch and English.
