Jahrhunderts Berücksichtigung.0Das Buch dokumentiert so die Kulturgeschichte der Frau anhand attraktiver Gemälde und Skulpturen, die die Schönheit und Klugheit der Frauen einfangen.

In het leven van Rembrandt speelden drie vrouwen een belangrijke rol. Met Saskia Uylenburgh (1612-1642) huwde hij in 1634 en kreeg hij zoon Titus. Met Geertje Dircx (1610/1615-na 1656) had hij daarna een relatie. Hendrickje Stoffels (1623/626-1663) werd zijn tweede vrouw en met haar kreeg hij dochter Cornelia. In dit boek zijn de biografieën van deze vrouwen samengesteld, gebaseerd op de documenten. Van verschillende schilderijen, tekeningen en etsen van Rembrandt is aangenomen dat zij Saskia voorstellen. Hier wordt nagegaan of dat ook echt zo is. Geertje kon hier worden herkend in de vrouw die voorkomt op vier tekeningen en een schilderij van Rembrandt. De schilderijen en tekeningen van Rembrandt die Hendrickje heten voor te stellen werden bestudeerd. Maar een zeker portret van haar is niet bekend. Het boek gaat over Saskia, Geertje en Hendrickje. Hun leven worden beschreven en alle werken van Rembrandt die ze zouden voorstellen worden besproken.

Since the mid nineties, the Northern Irish photographer Hannah Starkey has dedicated her work to a labyrinth of ideas surrounding the female experience and the medium of photography. Recognised for her artfully constructed mise-en-scenes in which women of different generations take centre stage, Starkey's colour photographs often arise from close collaborations with actresses, friends or acquaintances she meets on site. Her images combine the subtlest of gazes and gestures with sophisticated forms of lighting, framing, colour and composition, to build multiple narratives that explore the psychological complexity of women. Challenging the aggressive ways in which the media often fetishize and sexualize women, she draws on the languages and techniques of an array of photographic genres to investigate the influence of photography on how it has shaped our ideas of what it means to be female. In Starkey's work, everyday moments of self-reflection or social interaction can take on the gravitas of modernday genre paintings, or the fleeting appearance of a film still. From her early staged scenes in Belfast, to her most recent documentation of the Women's Marches in London, this monograph spans the first twenty years of work by one of the most significant photographic artists of our time.

In looking at the history of collecting, one may be excused for regarding it as an activity in which, traditionally, women have shown little interest or in which they have not been involved. As the present volume shows, women-particularly aristocratic women-not only resisted this discrimination through the ages, but also built important collections and used them to their own advantage, in order to make statements about their lineage, power, cultural heritage or religious preferences. That is...
