"The most famous monument of the Dutch Golden Age is undoubtedly the Amsterdam Town Hall by architect Jacob van Campen inaugurated in 1655. Today we stand in awe confronted with the grand Classicist façade, the delightful horror of the sculptures in the Tribunal, and the magnificence of the huge Citizens' Hall. In the period of its construction, many artists and writers tried to capture the overwhelming impact of the building by, among other comparisons, relating it to the ancient Wonders of the World and by stressing its splendour, riches, and impressive scale. In doing so, they constructed the Town Hall as the ultimate wonder, thus offering a silent, but very powerful testimony to the power and position of the City of Amsterdam and its rulers as equals of the other European regimes. To fully understand these mechanisms of power, this book relates the Town Hall to other, impressive buildings of the same period-the palace of the Louvre, Saint Peter's Basilica, and Banqueting House-and their visual and textual representations. Thus, this book gives a broad audience of readers new insights into the agency of magnificent buildings. The Amsterdam Town Hall in Words and Images does not restrict itself to a national scope or a purely architectural analysis, but clarifies how artists and writers all over Europe presented buildings as wonders of the world. This book is pioneering in its analysis of seventeenth and eighteenth-century paintings, prints, drawings, poems, and travel accounts and offers a new understanding of how the wondrous character of these grand buildings was constructed"--

Van 1392 tot 1578 heeft Amsterdam een groep kloosterlingen geherbergd die de statuten van de kartuizers hebben nageleefd in hun klooster Sint-Andries-ter-Zaliger-Haven. De kartuis kent zijn grootste bloei in de eerste helft van de vijftiende eeuw, ongetwijfeld mede dankzij de geest van de Modern Devotie. Later raakt de kartuizerorde ook in Amsterdam over haar hoogtepunt been, en wanneer rond 1520 de Reformatie deze streken bereikt, heeft het klooster het grootste deel van zijn aantrekkingskracht op de bevolking verloren. Desondanks blijft het kartuizerklooster bestaan, tot het einde wordt ingeluid met plunderingen in de jaren zestig van de zestiende eeuw. Aan het hieropvolgende kwijende bestaan maakt de Alteratie van 1578 een eind. Er is geen bron uit het kloosterarchief die dergelijke evoluties beter in kaart helpt te bringen dan het manuscript dat in de onderzoeksliteratuur de titel Liber benefactorum heeft gekregen. Dit middeleeuwse 'weldoenersboek', vandaag bewaaard in het Stadsarchief van Amsterdam, wordt in deze publicatie uitgegeven. De broneditie wordt voorafgegaan door een inleiding die de structuur en genese van dit bijzondere handschrift beschrift." --

"In a major exhibition, the Städel Museum, together with the National Gallery of Canada, will for the first time address Rembrandt's rise to international fame during his formative years in Amsterdam, between 1630 and 1655. The presentation combines the Städel's collection of works by Rembrandt, including The Blinding of Samson (1636), with outstanding loans from international collections, such as the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, the National Gallery in London, the Museo del Prado in Madrid, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. In this exhibition, Rembrandt's art enters into dialogue with masterpieces by older and younger artists of his time, such as Nicolas Eliasz Pickenoy and Bartholomeus van der Helst, and with brilliant works by his own former students, such as Govaert Flinck and Ferdinand Bol. Rembrandt's pictorial production, and his impact, were surprisingly broad, encompassing landscapes, genre scenes, and still life as well as history paintings and portraits. Groupings of closely related paintings will illuminate Rembrandt's place in Amsterdam's creative network and show how the confrontation with his competitors influenced his artistic development and entrepreneurial ambitions. In Amsterdam, an exceptional number of talented artists competed for the attention and patronage of the wealthy and art-loving middle classes. It was precisely this exciting and stimulating atmosphere that challenged the young artist from Leiden to become the world-famous master still known today as Rembrandt"--
