Music and Painting in the Golden Age + CD

With over 400 pages of beautifully illustrated text, this 1994 exhibition catalogue is both informative and thought-provoking. It is the first scholarly publication to examine the relationship between the two fascinating subjects of music and painting in Holland and Flanders in the seventeenth century. Three introductory articles discuss aspects of the music of the period, followed by detailed discussions of paintings with a musical theme. The authentic instruments originally displayed in the accompanying exhibition are extensively described in a survey of instruments of the period offering a lucid understanding of the range and variety of music in Holland in the seventeenth century.

Rembrandt’s Academy

This extensive catalogue accompanied the exhibition on Rembrandt’s pupils organised by Hoogsteder & Hoogsteder in 1992. In his introductory essay Professor Werner Sumowski describes the beauty of Rembrandt’s art and that of his pupils. Paul Huys Janssen shows that the term ‘School of Rembrandt’ does little justice to the excellence of the work of Rembrandt’s pupils. ‘This theme is elaborated in the beautiful exhibition catalogue […]. With his detailed analysis of the paintings and using the historical sources, Paul Huys Janssen opens a window into the painter’s workshop, through which we can see the master as he teaches, surrounded by a group of pupils’, Herman Rosenberg commented in Het Binnenhof.
