A word from the
director
There is only one subject to write about, the
subject that was thrust violently on the world
on September 11th. Over the months that have
since passed, each of us has had time to form
our own thoughts about what happened, why
it happened, what consequences it has entailed
and what is in store for us now and in the long
run. Many of these thoughts evoke the
unbearable memory of the events themselves.
All of us have relived in our minds the terrible
final minutes and seconds of those on board
the four hijacked planes and of the victims in
the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The
images of the planes crashing into the Twin
Towers and their collapse have been seared
into our memories. We try helplessly to
imagine what it means to be a refugee among
hundreds of thousands of others in one of
poorest regions in the world.
In the efforts to pick ourselves up again,
many heartening things were said. The work
of artists and art historians and museums was
said to have special meaning for humanity at a
time like this. I wonder. For some individuals
this in undoubtedly true and important. But
the public at large did not respond this way.
Instead, visits to museum in America dropped
off sharply. On the whole, I think it better to
avoid exalted assertions about the healing
power of art or scholarship.
Speaking for myself, my motivation to
work and my interest in daily affairs suffered
badly on September 11th and in the weeks
afterwards. The news was a constant
distraction, and I seemed to have less energy
and attention. However, among the doubts
that entered my mind unasked, never did I
doubt the value of my work. Not for new
reasons, but for the same reasons that brought
me to it in the first place, codart still
seemed to me as worthwhile an endeavor as
any to which a person might devote himself.
As I begin to recover, I am grateful that the
work is here, and that it still provides such
satisfaction. As before September 11th, a great
deal of that satisfaction derives from the fact
that codart consists of a network of people I
know and like, and from my feeling that I have
something substantial to offer them.
Another reason for gratitude is that none of
our members or colleagues was physically hurt
in the attacks. Many art objects were
destroyed, but none seem to have belonged to
museum collections.
Nonetheless, the functioning of museums
2
may be affected in a serious and long-lasting
way. The insurance industry is in a quandary
about the threat of continued terrorism. In
their efforts to protect themselves, insurance
companies are talking about removing
coverage for terrorist attacks altogether from
their policies. Even if the insurers do not go
that far, for the coming time we can be sure
that coverage for the transportation of
expensive objects will not be available at the
rather low rate museums have been used to
paying. According to a well-informed article in
The Art Newspaper of October 2001, the
conditions for courier service are also likely to
be affected. The stricter security measures at
airports and on board airplanes will make it
more difficult to accompany art shipments
and to protect them en route.
These developments, even if they are
temporary, as we all hope, will demand
flexibility and creativity from curators and
directors. They will also increase the need for
mutual help and accommodation between
institutions and curators. In that regard, it is
fortunate that codart is already in place.
Look over the membership directory in the
back of this issue of the Courant and think of all
the possibilities it offers for new and renewed
partnerships.
After a shock or tragedy, people have the
tendency to withdraw into themselves. That is
a normal reaction, but not a constructive one.
This is a time when we need each other more
than ever. We hope that you will take
advantage of the opportunity offered by
codart to ask each other for cooperation and
to extend it.

Committees
Program committee
The program committee meets with the
director and his associate to evaluate the
activities of codart and to discuss themes
for future congresses and destinations for
study trips. Suggestions from codart
members on the yearly questionnaires are
reviewed, and a list of desirable themes and
destinations is drawn up. The committee goes
over the plans for coming events in detail.
Since its inception at codart drie in
Antwerp, the committee has met regularly.
All but two of the meetings took place in the
Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie. On the agenda at the current meetings
are the congress and study trip themes for
codart vijf, zes and the more distant
future, as well as additional study trips. In 2002
additional study trips have been planned to
Moscow in March and to Scotland in June.
Outstanding programs for these trips have
been worked out by Lia Gorter, the codart
consultant on all matters pertaining to Russia,
and Julia Lloyd Williams, respectively. Guus
van den Hout brought in essential elements of
the Moscow project.
Following codart vijf (Early Netherlandish art and its dispersal), the themes
highest on our list of priorities are Dutch and
Flemish art in (in alphabetical order):
France
The Netherlands
Poland
The United States
Activities concerning Dutch and Flemish art in
these countries are being reviewed as possible
reasons for planning a congress in a particular
year.
The program committee also discusses
proposals for membership of codart, on the
basis of the guidelines laid down in the
directors’ letter to the membership of 2 August
2001. Meetings of the program committee,
finally, provide an opportunity for the director
to consult a group of members on other issues
as well.
The members of the program committee are:
Peter van den Brink Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht
Charles Dumas rkd, The Hague, secretary
Stephen Hartog icn, Rijswijk, chairman

Exhibitions and exhibition catalogues
Rembrandt, Brueghel & Co. Die Niederländersammlung im Tiroler Landesmuseum
Ferdinandeum. In 1997 the Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum drew the attention of
the public to its Dutch and Flemish holdings
with this exhibition of paintings that entered
the museum mainly through the Tschager
and von Wieser bequests. A booklet published
for the exhibition illustrated the highlights
and announced the expected publication of a
fully researched catalogue by Dr. Eleonore
Gürtler, which has yet to appear.
Vienna
The newly constituted MuseumsQuartier in
Vienna (mq Wien) is nearing completion. This
‘urban biotope for the arts,’ as it calls itself,
stretches east from the Hofburg to the seventh
Bezirk. ‘The MuseumsQuartier Wien,’ to quote
from the website www.mqw.at, ‘is one of the
ten largest cultural complexes in the world.
But above all, it is a forward-looking, innercity cultural district that will have an enormous impact on future trends. The MuseumsQuartier unites baroque buildings, new
architecture, cultural institutions of all sizes,
various disciplines of art, and recreational
facilities in a single spectacular location.’
In September 2001 the last new museum in
this extensive plan was opened for the public,
the Leopold Museum. Here the famous collection of Rudolph and Elisabeth Leopold is on
display, featuring not only masterpieces by
Klimt and Schiele, but also a wide panorama
of Austrian painting from the 19th century,
Austrian expressionism, art between the wars,
and the 1960s.
Opposite the Leopold Museum, next to the
Kunsthalle exhibition building, the Museum
of Modern Art (mumok) was also opened to
the public in September. Among the existing
museums that are included in the MuseumsQuartier are the Kunsthistorisches Museum,
the Naturhistorisches Museum, the Ethnographic Museum, the Ephesos Archaeological
Museum, the Gemäldegalerie der Akademie
der bildenden Künste (Academy Gallery) and
the Hofburg.
Vienna, Albertina
The new Albertina (from http://www.
albertina.at/e/albertina/index.html, with
permission)
‘The most extensive reconstruction and expansion works in the history of the Albertina
started in spring 1999: “Between the Burggarten front of the palace and the Palm House,
a new four-floor structure of a total cubage of
26,000 m3, housing high-security storage
facilities, a study building and a hall for
temporary exhibitions, is being erected after
plans by the architects’ duo Steinmayer &
Mascher. The structure is being built into the
old city bastion so that it won’t interfere with
the original townscape. The patio of the stateof-the-art study building will allow working
in daylight on all four floors. The underground storage facilities will ensure safe
storage of the holdings. A fully automatic
elevated shelf structure, the most modern one
of its kind in the world, will provide room for
10,000 boxes holding the works of the collection. A computer-controlled system will allow
access to them within a period of 60 seconds.
“In the context of the reconstruction works,
a unique project funded by the Federal
Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs was
launched in February 1999, with all drawings
and watercolors being recorded digitally
within a data base. Work on the underground
storage, study building, and exhibition hall
will be completed by fall 2002. In the course of
the rebuilding of the palace, the Albertina’s
original main entrance located on the front of
the bastion towards the State Opera will be
reopened, thus offering new possibilities for
the use of the bastion at this vital point in
Vienna’s city center. The palace itself is being
reorganized according to a completely novel
and more generous spatial concept. After the
restoration is completed, the Albertina will
dispose of far more space for exhibitions than
ever, 650 m2 of which will be located in the
historical palace. In addition, the new hall for
temporary exhibitions, covering an area of
800 m2 , will be available for high capacities of
visitors, leaving the building substance of the
old palace completely untouched. The state
rooms on the Burggarten front are going to be
restored; they will be open to visitors and be
the site of various events.
‘Together with the underground storage,
the study building, the exhibition hall and an
entirely new exhibition concept, the Albertina
will again hold an eminent place in the scenery
of Austrian and international museums.’
Vienna, Gemäldegalerie der Akademie der
bildenden Künste
The Gemäldegalerie der Akademie recently
refurbished the long Hansen Gallery, featuring Dutch and Flemish painting. It now
forms, together with the rooms for Hieronymus Bosch, early Italian painting and the
classicistic room, a continuous modernized
gallery space. The smaller Loggia, parallel to
the Hansen Gallery, is still being worked on
and is to be opened to the public at the end of
November 2001. Here, further works of Dutch,
Flemish and French painters will be displayed.
With these measures the Gemäldegalerie der
Akademie has reopened its complete exhibition space for the public.
Acquisitions
Leonaert Bramer, The Raising of the Cross
The Gemäldegalerie der Akademie successfully
raised the money for Bramer’s Raising of the
Cross (oil on wood, 79 x 59 cm.) from a series of
the Passion of Christ comprising 13 panels.
This painting was particularly important for
the collection because Dutch religious history
painting had been seriously underrepresented.

(15 July-20 August) and Kyoto (29 August-22
October). In the exhibition the works by
Rubens were supplemented by a selection of
other Flemish and Dutch paintings.
Rubens und die flämische Barockmalerei (Peter
Paul Rubens and Flemish Masters in the
Academy Gallery)
When it returned to Vienna from 22 November
to 30 June 2001, the Japanese show was
mounted in modified and reduced form in the
newly refurbished Hansen Gallery in the
Gemäldegalerie der Akademie itself. The focus
of this show was on the results of the
restoration campaign. The most interesting
feature was the rediscovery of the original
concept of the bacchic scene of the Dreaming
Silenus. This large canvas by Rubens and
assistants had never been on show before due
to heavy overpainting and a generally
unattractive surface. A different catalogue was
published for the home venue than for the
touring Japanese exhibition. The author is
Renate Trnek, with contributions by Claudia
Koch. 167 pp., with 39 illustrations in full color.
Other publications
Highlights cat. The Academy Gallery: an overview
of its collection. In December 2001 the English
edition will appear of the sumptuous volume
on the collection first published in German in
1997 by Böhlau. 296 pp., with 241 color
illustrations. The book includes a
representative selection of the Dutch and
Flemish holdings.
Other news
Claudia Koch is leading a research campaign
on the early German and Netherlandish
paintings (excluding Hieronymus Bosch) in
the Gemäldegalerie der Akademie, under the
title Die Frühe Tafelmalerei nördlich der Alpen in
der Gemäldegalerie der Akademie der bildenden
Künste. The results will be published as the
third volume of the Wissenschaftlichen Kataloge
der Gemäldegalerie der Akademie... The first
volume, by Renate Trnek, covered the Dutch
17th century school. The second volume, on
the Italian, Spanish and French schools, is
being written by Martina Fleischer and will
be coming out in fall 2002.
The fundamental revision of Bosch’s
chronology proposed by the Rotterdam Bosch
exhibition prompted the Gemäldegalerie der
Akademie to examine the dendrochronology of
its Last Judgment Triptych by Bosch. This will be
undertaken by Renate Trnek in 2002 with
funding from the Fonds zur Förderung
wissenschaftlicher Forschung Österreich.

Tallinn
Among the more important Netherlandish art
works in Tallinn not in museums are the tomb
monument of Governor Pontus de la Gardie in
the Cathedral (1595), by Arent Passer, as well as
seven tapestries in the City Museum made in
Enghien in 1547.
Art Museum of Estonia
The church of St. Nicholas houses a branch of
the Art Museum of Estonia. It also is used for
concerts. Among the displays of old art in the
church are two triptychs from Brugge and a
polyptych from Brussels. From Brugge are an
altar of the Virgin made in the 1490s by the
Master of the Legend of St. Lucy and an altar
with scenes from the Passion of Christ from
the circle of Adriaen Isenbrant. The Holy
Kinship altarpiece from Brussels has a carved
central panel by an unknown master and four
painted wings with late Gothic paintings. The
altar has many Baroque additions and was
renovated crudely in the beginning of the
twentieth century. It cannot be said to be in
good condition.
On 15 November 2001, a permanent display
of old silver was installed in the sacristy of the
church of St. Nicholas.
Kadriorg Art Museum
On 22 July 2000 the Dutch and Flemish as well
as Italian, German, Austrian and Russian
paintings and applied art from the 16th to the
20th century from the Art Museum of Estonia
were put on permanent display in the branch
of the museum in Kadriorg Palace. The
building is a nice example of Italian Baroque
architecture in northern Europe, designed by
Niccoló Michetti. Among the few Italian
paintings are works by Tommaso Salini,
Bernardo Strozzi and Giovanni Battista
Piazzetta. To name just one rarity from the
German collection, there is Benjamin Block’s
Portrait of a 13-year-old-boy of 1663. The main
research for the permanent exhibition of old
master paintings was carried out by Mai Levin.
Some 28 Dutch and Flemish paintings,
about two-thirds of the total, are on display.
Probably the best of the 16th-century works is
the monumental Wedding at Cana (1597, oil on
canvas, 180 x 232 cm.) from the workshop of
Marten de Vos, a variant of the well-known
panel in Antwerp Cathedral. Jan Brueghel’s
tradition is evident in Noah’s ark of about 1640
and in landscapes by Theobald Michau from
the 18th century. The expulsion from the Temple
and two small panels from a Peasant wedding
series (ca. 1600), have been lent to the Bosch
exhibition in Rotterdam.
The arrest of Christ by Leonaert Bramer
(nr. 126a in Wichmann’s catalogue) is in the
process of conservation. This is a difficult
operation because the varnish is very thick and
the paint layer very thin. The slate panel broke
in two parts years ago.
Flemish artists in the collection include
Adriaen Brouwer, Hans van Essen, Clara
Peeters and Frans Ykens. Dutch artists from
the schools of Amsterdam (Bartholomeus van
der Helst), Delft (Leonaert Bramer), Haarlem
(Pieter de Grebber, Adriaen van Ostade), The
Hague (Dirk Wijntrack), Leiden (Dominicus
van Tol) and Dordrecht (Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp)

Exhibitions and exhibition catalogues
Michael Sittow, 17 January 2001 – November
2001.
This winter 475 years have passed since the
death of Michael Sittow. The well-known
painter was born in Reval (Tallinn) in 1469 and
died here in 1525. The Art Museum of Estonia
devoted several events to introduce the artist
to our Estonian and Russian public. For the
benefit of Estonian schoolchildren, I put
together an exhibition of photographs on the
artist and his relation to Hans Memling,
Albrecht Dürer, Juan de Flandes and Jan
Provoost. The reproductions were installed by
the artist Liina Siib. The opening took place on
17 January 2001 in the church of St. Nicholas. I
delivered a lecture about the Sittows in
Estonian, which I summarized in Russian for
Russian pupils.
On Sittow Day, 20 January 2001, a full
afternoon of lectures was held for school
teachers by researchers from the Art Museum,
the Academy of Music, the Catholic Church
and Tartu University. The topics covered the
art and history as well as religious life, music
and literature in Sittow’s time.
The exhibition of reproductions then
travelled to Keila, Rakvere, Tartu, Kuressaare
on the island of Saaremaa and to Narva on the
Russian border.
summer, she informed us about a painting
related to a work in our permanent display.
The contact we established with her through
codart was therefore of great importance to
us.
As the organizer of the Sittow exhibition,
I asked Dr. Anu Mänd of the Art Museum of
Estonia to investigate the documents
concerning the painter, which had not been
studied since the publications of Paul
Johansen in 1940. This turned out to be quite
useful. Among other new discoveries, Dr.
Mänd was able to establish that Michael
Sittow was born in 1469 and died in 1525.
A paintings restorer, Alar Nurkse, spoke
about the difficulties in applying
contemporary techniques for the study of our
Holy Kindred altarpiece, of which one wing has
now been examined.
My own talk dealt with the works in
Tallinn attributed to Clawes van der Sittow
and his son Michael Sittow. Closer scrutiny
reveals that there are no good grounds for
singling out these unsigned paintings,
carvings and a tombstone from other
contemporary work. None of these works,
including those heretofore attributed to the
Sittows, can be connected with any of the large
number of artisans’ names that have been
published by Mai Lumiste and Rasmus
Kangropool. The discussion on the Sittows
that was begun at the symposium is still
continuing. We obviously need a book on
Sittow in Estonian as well as English. It should
Dutch and Flemish art, 2004
A large exhibition and complete catalgue of
Dutch and Flemish paintings and prints,
along with our single drawing, carvings and
applied art is planned for 2004. We cannot yet
say whether it will include loans from abroad
or if the show will be limited to exhibits from
Tallinn and Tartu, our second-largest town.
Congresses
Michael Sittow, 9 April 2001
On 9 April 2001 an international Michael
Sittow symposium was held in the Kadriorg
Art Museum for an audience mainly of local
art historians, guides and journalists. Dr.
Matthias Weniger of Berlin gave a lecture on
the oeuvre of Michael Sittow in the light of his
own new research, soon to be published in a
monograph. Dr. Lola B. Gellman of New York
spoke about the Flemish portrait tradition and
showed how Sittow followed the principles of
Jan van Eyck. Dr. Gellman travelled to Tallinn
at her own expense. She has also benefited our
museum by donating important books. This
include reproductions of his eight firmly
established works, including details and
comparisons.
On 9-10 November 2001 the Estonian Academy
of Arts held a conference entitled ‘The problem
of the classical ideal in the art and architecture
of the countries around the Baltic Sea.’ Two
participants came from Utrecht. Dr. Badeloch
Noldus spoke on the cultural agents who
worked for the Swedish crown and aristocray
in the Netherlands and Italy in the 17th
century. Dr. Koen Ottenheym analyzed the
route taken by classical forms from Rome and
Venice via The Hague and Amsterdam to
Stockholm, Riga, Tallinn and Narva.
Publications
In 2000, the papers of an earlier international
conference were published in the Estonian and

1995, Estnisches Kunstmuseum, Tallinn 2000
(isbn 9985–78–058–2).
In summer 2001 a guidebook in Estonian
and in English was published, introducing to
visitors our Italian, German, Russian, as well as
Dutch and Flemish holdings: Kadriorg Art
Museum. Kadriorg Palace, The Art Museum of
Estonia 2001 (isbn 5–89920–279–3).
Tartu
Tartu University, in the south of the country,
has a valuable print collection, which has been
the subject of several catalogues by Tiina
Nurk. The University also owns paintings
collected by German and Baltic German
professors, including Dutch and Flemish
works. These were however evacuated to
Voronezh in Russia during the First World
War and have not yet been returned.
I would like to express our gratitude to the
colleagues from codart who have sent us
important literature.

In 2004 the museum will be celebrating its
250th anniversary. To mark this notable anniversary the State of Lower Saxony initiated
plans for substantial refurbishment and
extension. By 2004 the museum will get an
annex building with approximately 2,700
square meters for ateliers, store rooms, the
print room, the library and the administra-

completion in 2007 the museum will have at
its disposal 800 square meters more exhibition
space than at present, with new facilities for
special exhibitions. The museum will be able
to display as many as 380 of its 1,200 old master
paintings, among them 600 from Flanders and
Holland.

The Kupferstich-Kabinett marked the
ceremonial opening of the rebuilt synagogue
in Dresden on 9 November 2001 with an exhibition on one of the central institutions of
Jewish life, the rite of circumcision. It was
through circumcision that the bond was
established between Yahweh and Abraham.
The exhibition is not about the cultural history of circumcision or its religious meaning
within Judaism. Rather, reflecting on the Nazi
ban on Jewish pictures, the Kupferstich-Kabinett seizes on the reopening of the Dresden
synagogue in order to concentrate on the
ambivalent function of prints and drawings.
The visual power of the images themselves has
had a decisive effect on historical developments.
From the fifteenth century on, the Jewish
ritual found its way into Christian iconography in representations of the circumcision
of Christ. In this way, a Jewish usage was
mediated by and subordinated to Christian
belief.
The exhibition traces the subtle strategies
by which circumcision was interpreted in the
graphic arts, often in combination with other
iconographies, such as the Presentation in the
Temple. Most of the 50 woodcuts and
engravings from the 15th to the early 18th
century are by Dutch artists. Highlights are
the mid-15th-century representation of the
theme by the Master of the Playing Cards,
Albrecht Dürer’s woodcut of the early 16th
century, Hendrik Goltzius’s engraving of 1594
and Rembrandt’s etching of 1654.
6
The catalogue contains an essay and an
illustrated list of all Dutch prints in the collection having to do with the circumcision of
Christ. The artistic material is supplemented
by further materials dealing with the arthistorical, theological, philosophical and
cultural aspects of the theme. The museum
wishes in this way to draw attention to its
function as a pictorial archive for other fields
than art history. Following the close of the
exhibition, a small colloquium is being held
on 12 January 2002 entitled The circumcision of
Christ and its meaning in Christian art.

The Kunstmuseum in Düsseldorf, having been
integrated into the overall complex of the
Museum Kunst Palast, is preparing a new
permanent exhibition. The plan has become
the subject of public controversy.
Responsibility for this lies not with the
museum curators but with two artists who are
against the didactical art-historical
presentation. Although the project was
criticized by the art and art history section of
the Deutscher Museumsbund, it was defended

A Bouquet of flowers by Jacob van Walscapelle
(1644-1727) (oil on canvas, 76 x 61,5 cm.) that
was removed from the Muzeum Narodowe in
Warsaw by Nazi authorities during the Second
World War recently found its way back to the
museum. The painting was bought in April
1935 by the government of the city of Warsaw
for the museum, which at that time was the
Municipal Museum of Warsaw. It was
published several times in the museum’s
catalogues. (See also W. Tomkiewicz, Catalogue

occupation authorities during the years 1939-1945,

purchased it in the 1990s, after he realized it
was looted property, decided to give it back to
the museum via the Polish Foreign Secretary,
Prof. Wl-adysl-aw Bartoszewski. The official
ceremony took place on Sunday, 8 April 2001.
Unfortunately, it emerged that large sections
of the painting have been ruined by a
commercial restorer.

work is the last of three major exhibitions and
catalogues of Dutch and Flemish art by which
the Pushkin Museum marked its 100th
anniversary. During the day of our visit we will
also benefit from the research conducted for
the two preceding projects, Xenia Egorova’s
exhibition and catalogue of the Flemish
paintings and those of Marina Senenko of the
Dutch paintings. Xenia is no longer with us,
but Marina will show us the extraordinarily
rich painting reserves that left such a deep
impression on participants in the codart
twee study trip in March 1999. To save time,
we will eat lunch at the pizzeria across the
street from the museum.

Memling Museum is housed in one of the
oldest surviving medieval hospitals in Europe
(12th-17th century). Everyday life at the
hospital is recalled in the atmospheric and
historic wards by a wide variety of objects that
have belonged to the building for centuries.
These include paintings, sculpture, furniture
and decorative art. The adjacent chapel is the
undisputed treasure-house of the hospital,
containing as it does several brilliant paintings
and the St Ursula Shrine, all executed by Hans
Memling in the 15th century. The 17thcentury pharmacy has been completely
preserved in the former monastery (14th
century) which opens onto the little street
leading to the hospital entrance.’

Although it requires no explanation that
codart should meet in Brugge, where it all
began, the decision to go there in 2002 was
clinched by the Jan van Eyck exhibition and
the fact that the city is one of the European
Cultural Capitals for the year of 2002. The town
is taking this distinction very seriously, and
has invested heavily in restorations and events.
Participants in codart vijf will receive
complete programs of Brugge 2002. In the
meantime, see http://www.brugge2002.be.

Musea, our member Manfred Sellink and his
co-director Walter Rijcquart, and their staff.
The following comments are taken directly
from the Brugge city website, which contains
additional information as well as images.

section for each day. The visit to the Steinmetzkabinet and the restoration studios and
storage spaces of the Memling- and Groeningemuseum may be attended by all participants,
since they will be repeated, and the group will
be split into two each day. The other sections
will be filled on the basis of the order of receipt
of registration forms.

Stéphane Vandenberghe, curator of the
Gruuthuse Museum and of Brugge historic
heritage. t +32 50 448 706.
– The Gruuthuse Museum, reopened with a
new presentation of the collection. ‘The
Gruuthuse Museum is located in the 15thcentury palace of the Lords of Gruuthuse and
contains what is easily the most varied
collection of applied or decorative art in Bruges
(15th to 18th century). A large collection of

famous 18th-century guillotine. The attractive
interior has a very distinctive atmosphere – the
large kitchen and original mediaeval chapel
(1472), in particular, transport visitors back to
the late Middle Ages.’
– The Renaissance Hall of the Brugse Vrije.
‘The former treasure-house of the palace of the
Brugse Vrije (‘Liberty of Bruges,’ an
administrative entity comprising the
surrounding area, but not the city itself)
contains a monumental 16th-century
Renaissance chimney-breast installed in
honour of Emperor Charles. This complex and
refined ensemble of wood, marble and
alabaster was designed by the Bruges artist
Lanceloot Blondeel and was executed by a
variety of local joiners and sculptors. Guyot de
Beaugrant made the royal sculptures and
reliefs in alabaster.’
– Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk ‘Church of Our
Lady (13th-15th century): this church, with a
122 m high tower, contains an extremely rich
art collection. Top of the bill is of course the
white marble Madonna with Child by
Michelangelo. In the choir gallery are the
mausoleums of Mary of Burgundy and Charles
the Bold, as well as a number of remarkable
polychromed tombs (13th-14th century).” The
chapel of Lodewijk van Gruuthuse.

the precious stained glass windows and the
mausoleums of the church founders

c. Popular culture. Guided by Willy P.
Dezutter, curator of the Museum voor
Volkskunde, and Sibylla Goegebuer, associate
curator of the museum and Hoofdman of the
guild. t (provisional): +32 50 330 044.
– Museum voor Volkskunde. ‘The restored and
picturesque 17th-century almshouses
belonging to the Bruges cobblers’ coroporation
evoke the atmosphere of bygone days. Historic
objects are used to reconstruct a classroom, a
cobbler’s and a hatter’s workshop, a Flemish
living room, an old kitchen, a confectioner’s
and an old chemist. The numerous folkloric
exhibits include a large collection of pipes,
examples of old costume and items relating to
popular worship. Visitors can round off their
tour in the museum inn, The Black Cat.” Three
new rooms reconstruct the cloth trade. A
complete glassblowing establishment and a
historic bedchamber are incorporated into the
museum.
– The St. Sebastiaansgilde Museum. As an
institution, the guild of St. Sebastian, whose
weapon was the crossbow, was probably
founded in the 14th century. The picturesque
brick building and tower, at the corner of the
Carmerstraat and the city wall, dates from the
second half of the 16th century. The most
representative room, the hall for meetings and
banquets, was donated to the guild a century
later by King Charles II of England. The St.
Sebastiaansgilde has also retained its practice
ranges, including a wooden gallery adorned
with stained-glass windows and old targets. In
the banquet hall, called the Koningskamer,
hang the group portraits of the guild and its
governors from the 17th century on. The guild
furniture and silver has also been preserved in
the original building.
– The St. Jorisgilde Museum. Located in the
former Jong Hof of the guild of St. George. It
was instituted after the disbanding of the
guild in 1876, with historic relics, art works
and weapons from both the Oud and the Jong
Hof that constituted the guild.
d. Behind the scenes of the Brugge museums.
Guided by Willy Le Loup, curator of the
Groeningemuseum, Eva Tahon, head of the
conservation department of the Brugge
Museums, and their associates. N.B. This visit
will be made available to all participants. It
will be held on Monday as well as Tuesday, for
two groups of 20 each day.
– Steinmetzkabinet. The printroom of the
Gemeentemusea Brugge is named for the
‘Brugse Brit’ John Steinmetz (1795-1883), who
donated his collection of 17,000 prints and
drawings to the township in 1864. In 1954 the
holdings of the former Oudheidkundig
Genootschap were added to the collection,
which further consists of historic possessions
of Brugge and other legacies, donations and
acquisitions. The best pieces, including

Memling- and Groeningemuseum.
19:00-20:30 Reception in the town hall. ‘Bruges
Town Hall, built between 1376 and 1420 is one
of the oldest in the Low Countries. A
ceremonial staircase leads from the entrance
hall to the first floor, where visitors can view
the Gothic Chamber. This former council
chamber continues to play an important part
in the life of the city. The wooden, polychrome
ceiling is decorated with a profusion of latemediaeval carving. The murals illustrating
Bruges’ glorious past were added during the
chamber’s restoration in the late 19th century.
The adjoining ‘historical chamber’ contains
several objects, documents and works of art
with a bearing on the city’s past.’

2002 is not only the year of Brugge as
European Cultural Capital, it also is the 100th
anniversary of the great exhibition Les primitifs
flamands, one of the formative events in the
history of our field. To mark the anniversary,
various exhibitions are taking place, including
a documentary exhibition in the Arentshuis.

by Jan Van der Stock.
We are fortunate in having been able to
bring the curators of these exhibitions to
codart vijf. They will speak on their
exhibitions, on the state of scholarship in the
respective fields of the exhibitions, and of
course on the art itself.
Till Borchert: The power of vision: early
Netherlandish paintings and the south of
Europe.
Fritz Koreny: Early Netherlandish master
drawings.

Hubert De Witte, archaeologist, and Bieke
Hillewaert, scholarly associate of the Brugge
Museums. t +342 50 448 705 and +32 50 448 709.
– Beneath the Burg. The construction of a hotel
near the former residence of the Counts of
Flanders revealed major archaeological
remains of the rich past of Brugge. The
Archaeological Service has identified traces of
the church of St. Donatus, late medieval tombs
and a well.
– The workshop of the Archaeological Service,
with a display of choice items.
– The excavations and wall paintings in the
Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk.
b. Hidden treasures of Brugge. Guided by
Brigitte Beernaert, scholarly associate of the
Monument Service, t +32 50 472 382, Kurt
Priem, archivist of the Groot Seminarie, and
Mieke Parez, associate curator of Onze-LieveVrouw ter Potterie.
– City walk to lesser-known monuments: the
Burg, with its mélange of Flemish architecture
of all periods, the rococo façade of a bank with a
collection of 18th-century paintings, the new
town theater, the Hof van Bladelin. “Bladelin
Court: built ca 1440 by Pieter Bladelin,
treasurer of the Order of the Golden Fleece.
The walls surrounding the charming inner
garden show nice stone medallions
representing portraits of the former
inhabitants.” The Bladelin Court can be called
the headquarters of the Medici in Brugge.
– The Groot Seminarie, which owns a major
collection of illuminated manuscripts and
several early paintings as well. Later in the year
it will host the exhibition Besloten wereld, open
boeken (A cloistered world, an open book), in which
medieval manuscripts will be shown alongside
art by our own contemporaries.
– Onze-Lieve-Vrouw ter Potterie. ‘Museum of
our Lady of the Potterie. The museum is
located in a historic hospital complex (14th17th century). Its numerous paintings and
sculptures alone are worthy of a visit, but the
museum also contains furniture from the
Gothic to the Baroque era, Bruges tapestries
and a major collection of silverware. The
adjoining church has one of the city’s finest
Baroque interiors and houses a further wealth
of art treasures.’

Chapel of Kasteel van Loppem. Photo museum.
17:00-21:00 In small groups, visit to Jan van
Eyck, the Flemish primitives and the South (14301530), three days before opening. This
codart Courant 3/December 2001
exhibition demonstrates the extent to which
the pioneering work of Flemish artists in the
15th and 16th centuries was influenced by
developments in other European countries.
This influence came not only from artists but
also from the dynastic interests of rulers such
as the House of Burgundy. Some sections of the
exhibition are iconographic: the Passion of
Christ, the Virgin in artistic imagery. Others
focus on more structural or general themes,
such as the emergence of landscape, civic and
personal identity, the imagery of the other.
Monographic, topographic and chronological
sections give the visitor a clear impression of
the impact of Italiy and southern Europe on
Flemish art. This approach leads to the
reopening of some controversial attribution
debates. The displays include iconic works of
15th-century art alongside new discoveries.
The collections of Brugge itself provide the
perfect starting point for this fresh
presentation of the Flemish primitives, with
Jan van Eyck as the key figure.
Dinner alternating with visits.
Wednesday, 13 March
11:00 Bus leaves for Kasteel van Loppem.
11:15-12:15 Kasteel van Loppem, an

‘Baron Charles van Caloen ordered the
architect Baron Jean Bethune to complete the
unfinished plans of the London architect
Edward Pugin and to build this neo-gothic
château intended to reflect the mysticism and
grandeur of bygone Flanders. It was here in
1918, at the end of the Great War, that King
Albert signed the law granting the long sought
universal suffrage. The château contains a
number of neo-gothic works, including
paintings, porcelain, etc, from the 16th and
17th centuries. Also displayed is the Jean van
Caloen collection of religious sculptures
dating between the thirteenth and sixteenth
centuries from Holland, France, Italy, Spain
and Germany,’ (http://www.living-inbelgium.com/livin_art_info_0029.htm).

Study trip to Scotland, 13-18 June 2002
Although codart has not yet devoted a
congress to Dutch and Flemish art in the
United Kingdom, the offer by our member
Julia Lloyd Williams to put together an
itinerary for a study trip was simply
irresistible. Her exhibition Dutch art and
Scotland: a reflection of taste, Edinburgh
(National Gallery of Scotland) 1992, provided
unforgettable evidence of the high level of
collecting in that country. The museum
holdings in Edinburgh and Glasgow are well
known and enjoy worldwide repute. Even
more exciting is the prospect of seeing the
collections of private owners in their country
houses. Out of respect for their wishes, the
following program does not specify the
identity of the owners of the collections at Fife,
Mount Stuart and Mertoun. They will be well
known to many members of codart.
Needless to say, more information will be
made available to participants in the trip.
The exhibition program of Lloyd Williams’s
museum has included some important
contributions. She herself curated the
memorable exhibition Rembrandt’s women of
summer 2001, which went on to the Royal
Academy in London. Our visit is timed to
coincide with the opening of an exhibition on
Rubens and Italian art, one of the great themes
in the study of the international relations of
Netherlandish art.
Thursday, 13 June 2002
Arrival in Edinburgh
6-8 pm The National Gallery of Scotland’s
private view of the exhibition Rubens and
Italian art, curated by Jeremy Wood and
including paintings, drawings and prints.
Invitations will be issued to all codart
members on the trip.
Friday, 14 June
Morning The National Gallery of Scotland
collections, with special attention to Scottish
links with Flanders and Holland, topped by
The Trinity altarpiece by Hugo van der Goes.
A selection of the best prints and drawings
will be put out on special display in the
printroom, including work by Goltzius, de
Gheyn, Rembrandt, Lievens, Rubens, van
Dyck, Bloemaert, Saverij, Cuyp and Saenredam.
The reserves will be made available as
required.
For those interested, a site visit can be paid
to the Royal Scottish Academy, where the
Playfair Project is in progress. From the project
website: ‘One of the most prestigious
refurbishment plans in the uk arts world
today, the Playfair Project involves the
renovation of two historical landmarks, the
Royal Scottish Academy of Art and the
National Gallery of Scotland. “This twophased project, named for its original designer
William Playfair (1790-1857), calls for
extensively refurbishing the Royal Scottish
Academy building and creating an
underground link building between the
Academy and the National Gallery, which will
add exhibition space, a café, shop and lecture
theater.” (http://www.heery.com/Projects/
Playfair.htm). The visit will be led by Michael
Clarke, director of the museum and Playfair
Project head. The first stage of this building
project will open in 2003.’
Afternoon The Scottish National Portrait
Gallery, with works by Lievens, Verelst and van
Dyck. The director, James Holloway, will
welcome the group and discuss the influence
of Dutch and Flemish art on painters in
Scotland in the 17th century. Almost all the
earliest surviving portraits of Scottish sitters
are by artists from the Low Countries.
University of Edinburgh: Torrie Collection.
A small but choice collection of mainly Dutch
paintings in a wonderful setting in the Old
Court of the University. The curator, Dr
Duncan Macmillan, will talk about the
formation of the collection. We will be received
by Professor Richard Thomson, Head of the
Fine Arts Department of Edinburgh
University and Director of the Visual Arts
Research Centre being set up in Edinburgh.
The Centre is a joint project with the National
Galleries of Scotland, National Museums of
Scotland, National Libraries of Scotland,
University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh Art
College. The aim of the Centre is to coordinate
art-historical research and to sponsor a
program of conferences and publications.
Dinner in Edinburgh.
Saturday, 15 June
Morning Hopetoun House. About 30 minutes
west of Edinburgh by coach. Hopetoun House
is supposedly based on the architecture of Huis
ten Bosch in The Hague. In 1703 the Hopes
commissioned an entire series of decorative
paintings from Philips Tideman, who worked
for Gerard de Lairesse. Most of them are still
there. Part of the family was settled in
Amsterdam, where they were a major banking
power.
Across the Forth bridge to Culross, a
National Trust fishing village in Fife.
Afternoon A private collection in Fife, not
open to the public, with fine Dutch and
Flemish paintings. Other possible
destinations in the afternoon.
Kellie Castle, a 17th-century tower house.
Sunday, 16 June
Mount Stuart, on the Isle of Bute, houses one of
the finest collections of Dutch and Flemish
paintings in private hands in Scotland. The
codart Courant 3/December 2001
visit will include a talk on the history of the
Bute collection.
Return by coach to Edinburgh.
Monday, 17 June
Morning Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh. The
architecture and decoration, with Delft tiles,
imitates Het Loo. The Dutch artist Jacob de
Wet was responsible for the ceiling paintings
and 111 portraits of (mainly mythical) kings of
Scotland. Not of top quality, but certainly of
interest to codart.
Gosford House. About 30 minutes east from
Edinburgh by coach, the private house of the
Earl of Wemyss and March. A number of fine
Dutch paintings, including works by Ruisdael,
de Braij and Cornelis van Haarlem.
Afternoon Mertoun, an exceptional private
collection not open to the public. Outstanding
paintings by Jan Steen, Adriaen van Ostade,
Ludolf Bakhuysen, Aelbert Cuyp and many
other Dutch and Flemish masters.
Back to Edinburgh for dinner, probably at
the National Gallery of Scotland.
Tuesday, 18 June
Morning By coach to Glasgow.
Hunterian Museum Glasgow. The deputy
director, Mungo Campbell, will welcome us.
Among the Dutch paintings are Rembrandt’s
oil sketch for The entombment of Christ and a
landscape by Philips Koninck. The museum is
planning on putting on a related display of
drawings for us.
The Museum at Kelvingrove: Mark O’Neill,
the director, may be able to welcome us and
give access to the depot, as many of the best
displays are currently not on view. Kelvingrove
recently was awarded a major grant from the
national lottery for a renovation of the
museum.
The Burrell Collection. Vivien Hamilton,
curator and specialist in 19th-century art, will
show us round. There is a large collection of
Hague School paintings and a very fine
collection of Netherlandish decorative arts
from the 14th to the 19th centuries.
Late afternoon to airport and return flight.

codart in the
United States
It goes without saying that the United States is
a primary destination for codart. Think
only of these well-known sources:
Peter C. Sutton, A guide to Dutch art in
America, Grand Rapids and Kampen 1986.
Ben Broos, Great Dutch paintings from
America, The Hague (Mauritshuis),
28 September 1990-13 January 1991 and San
Francisco (The Fine Arts Museum of San
Francisco), 16 February-5 May 1991.
Guy C. Bauman and Walter A. Liedtke,
Flemish paintings in America: a survey of early
Netherlandish and Flemish paintings in the public
collections of North America, Antwerp 1992.
Within the next few years, probably in 2004,
a codart congress will be devoted to Dutch
and Flemish art in North America. However, it
is clear that as far as study trips are concerned,
one will not be enough. We are therefore
considering the possibility of planning a
number of short trips, preceding or following
the annual meetings of the College Art
Association and the yearly meeting of
Historians of Netherlandish Art. Since our
program for 2002 is already full, the earliest
occasion on which such a trip could take place
would be in February 2003, when caa and
hna are meeting in New York. Since caa
meets in a different city every year, in the
course of time we would cover a lot of the
important centers in North America. We hope
to exchange views on this possibility with the
members at codart vijf.
Website news
The front cover of this issue of the Courant
shows the familiar home page of the codart
website, as it has looked since it was launched
on 24 September 1998. In the following issue
we will be illustrating the new home page on
which we are currently working. The change is
not only cosmetic. The entire website is being
redesigned and restructured, along with its
underlying database.
Until now, the database has been fed from
individual text fields. In other words, every one
of the hundreds of thousands of characters on
the approximately 200 pages of the site is
entered by hand. This is not only timeconsuming, it is also a method that fosters
inconsistency. When a museum changes its
website address, the link has to be changed at
every place on the codart site where the
museum is linked.
From the start, it was the intention to
convert our database from this flat form into
the superior model of a relational database. In
this format, data of the same kind are entered
into a table of their own, only once. From
there, they are inserted automatically at every
place in the website where they are required.
This will improve the quality of the
information on the website. Another reason to
rebuild the site was to increase its speed.
However, a conversion of this kind requires
a concentrated campaign of work that could
not even be considered until May of this year,
when the manpower of codart was doubled
from one to two. At that point we drafted a
sketch of our wishes, which we submitted to
three it companies with which codart or
the Netherlands Institute for Cultural
Heritage has worked satisfactorily in the past.
After conferring with the bidders and
comparing the quotes, we gave the order to the
small Amsterdam company Occhio Design.
Occhio came to our attention through Wim
Jacobs, the secretary-treasurer of the codart
Foundation. Among his other duties, Jacobs is
director of the foundation that organized the
ambitious program on historical interiors in
the Netherlands. It was Occhio who designed
and maintained the website of that project,
www.interieurmanifestatie.nl.
Preparations for the renewed site are in full
swing. All information that is now available on
the site will of course be maintained, but it will
be more conveniently arranged and easier to
search through. Room will be made for several
new facilities, concerning which you will be
hearing more in the coming time. The
announcements will be made in the first place
via codart-l, our Internet discussion list. If
you have e-mail and are not yet registered for
codart-l, please drop a mail to
gary@codart.nl.
