Abstract

This volume looks at the South German merchant community during Antwerp's Golden Age by examining German involvement in the social life of the city as well as by tracing merchants' commercial activities. The first section of the book considers the institutions of trade and the role Germans played in their development and how Germans interacted with other foreign merchant communities. The second section takes a wider view by tracing the commercial networks that South German merchants operated in and by quantifying South German participation in Antwerp's foreign trade.

Abstract

De haven van Antwerpen telt vandaag de dag 65.000 voltijdse banen en genereert bijna 3% van het bruto binnenlands product. Over de manier waarop dit economische complex tot stand kwam, is maar weinig bekend - behalve dat er sinds 150 jaar een bijna explosieve groei moet hebben plaatsgevonden.Haven in de branding analyseert voor het eerst het tijdspad,de oorzaken en gevolgen van deze groei op basis van de goederen-stromen en de toegevoegde-waardecreatie. Zo wordt de waarde van de Antwerpse staaltrafiek verduidelijkt, net als de impact van de tonnage balans, de mythe van de 'spoorweghaven Antwer

Abstract

Geweld in de stedelijke publieke ruimte roept veel onbehagen op. Verontruste stemmen zijn het erover eens dat het er in Europese steden tegenwoordig een stuk gewelddadiger aan toe gaat dan in het nabije verleden. Over de oorzaak van de verharding van het stedelijke bestaan lijkt eenstemmigheid te bestaan: de zwakkere sociale controle in de anonieme stad zou ertoe hebben geleid dat mensen niet meer weten aan welke regels ze zich moeten houden. Maar was het vroeger wel vrediger? Dit boek biedt een antwoord op die vraag door het publieke geweld in de stad Antwerpen tijdens de eerste helft van de

Abstract

Situated at the crossroads of important trade routes, the bustling seaports of the Low Countries not only traded cargoes of grain and timber, silk and spices, woollen cloth and splendidly executed altarpieces, but also manuscripts and books, news, information, ideas and gossip. Thus the Netherlands were touched by the evangelical Reformation movement at an early stage and played an increasingly important role as a crossroads for religious and philosophical ideas, serving as an intermediary between different parts of the world. The third volume of Intersections is devoted to this aspect of the 'intertraffic of the mind.' Thirteen authors from various disciplines address issues such as: How 'open' were the various religious groups to new points of view and how did they react to each other's opinion? How did they get familiar with new insights and different attitudes, and what was the role of trade and traffic in spreading them? How important was the part played by the various church and civil authorities, on the different levels of local, regional and national government? Contributors include: Paul Arblaster, Pieta van Beek, Ralph Dekoninck, Jeanine De Landtsheer, Agnès Guiderdoni-Bruslé, Jason Harris, Christine Kooi, Fred van Lieburg, Guido Marnef, Mia M. Mochizuki, Henk van Nierop, Charles H. Parker, P.J. Schuffel, and J.J.V.M. de Vet.

Abstract

Ad Meskens describes the development and the ultimate demise of the practice of mathematics in 16th-century Antwerp. Against the background of the violent history of the Religious Wars the story of the practice of mathematics in Antwerp is told through the lives of two protagonists, Michiel Coignet and Peeter Heyns. The book touches on all aspects of practical mathematics from teaching and instrument making to the practice of building fortifications of the practice of navigation.

Abstract

In de zeventiende eeuw was Antwerpen niet langer de internationale handelsmetropool van West-Europa. De stad bleef evenwel een spil van kunststromingen en en belangrijk kunstcentrum, dat aan de grondslag lag van talrijke artistieke innovaties. Ondanks de opkomst van een massamarkt voor kunst, bleef de consumptie van architectuur en beeldende kunsten in belangrijke mate het terrein van de patronage.Kunstpatronage wordt in dit boek als sociale constructie bestudeerd. Het zwaartepunt ligt daarbij op de organisatorische inbedding van de kunst en de patronen, die de kunstpatronage aannam binnen de

Abstract

In 1549, Prince Philip of Spain made his entry into Antwerp together with his father, Emperor Charles V. For this occasion the rich city of commerce was transformed into a large theatrical space with triumphal arches and tableaux vivants as stage settings. The citizens and the princes acted as actors in a splendid parade, a battle array of four thousand participants, impressive tournaments and a huge firework display. This resulted in one of the most expensive and impressive festivities of the early modern period. The organizing municipality drew on various theatrical genres in an effort to bring about a renewal in the existing power relations between the Habsburg rulers and themselves, as well as the relations of the rulers with the population. Exactly how the city and the monarch were depicted was illustrative of the precious balance of power between the Habsburgs and the city fathers and of both parties toward their respective subjects. How these power relations were precisely staged in Antwerp is studied in this book.

Abstract

The Merchant Republics analyzes the ways in which three major economic powerhouses - Amsterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg - developed dual identities as 'communities of commerce' and as republics over the course of the long eighteenth century (c.1648-1790). In addition to discussing the qualities that made these three cities alike, this volume also considers the very real differences that derived from their dissimilar histories, political structures, economic fates and cultural expectations. While all valued both their republicanism and their merchant identities, each presented a different face to the world and each made the transition from an early modern republic to a modern city in a different manner.

Abstract

Peintre flamand du XVIIe siècle, Van Dyck eut une carrière aussi courte qu'éblouissante. Élève de Rubens, il devint vite le protégé des princes et des rois et fut le portraitiste attitré des plus grandes familles italiennes et anglaises. Au travers d'une composition rigoureuse, il confère à ses modèles dignité, grandeur et spiritualité. Dames fières, seigneurs caracolant sur leur cheval, Van Dyck s'entend à rendre l'élégance nonchalante et l'ennui d'une société raffinée. Peintre baroque aux inflexions chatoyantes, il joue d'une palette légère et nuancée et restitue avec la plus grande virtuosi

Abstract

"Barbara Kaminska's Pieter Bruegel the Elder: Religious Art for the Urban Community is the first book-length study focusing on religious paintings by one of the most captivating Netherlandish artists, long celebrated for his secular imagery. In a period marked by a profound religious, economic, and cultural transformation, Bruegel offered his sophisticated urban audience complex biblical images that required an engaged, active viewing, not only sparking learned dinner conversations, but facilitating the negotiation of values seen as critical to maintaining a harmonious society. By considering the novelty of Bruegel's panels used in convivia alongside his small, intimate grisaille compositions, this study ultimately shows that Bruegel renewed the idiom of religious painting, successfully preserving its ritualistic and meditative functions" [Publisher]
