هنر جهانی ساموئل ون هوگستراتن (۱۶۲۷-۱۶۷۸): نقاش، نویسنده و درباری (مطالعات آمستردامی در عصر طلایی هلند)

Samuel van Hoogstraten was not only one of Rembrandt’s most successful pupils but also a versatile painter in his own right. His experiments in optical illusion also attracted the interest of the natural scientists of his time, and he wrote some of the first Dutch novels, plays, and a treatise on painting. This rich interdisciplinary study examines how van Hoogstraten understood the relationship between art, literature, and science and how these reflected the general views of his time. Bringing to the fore hitherto unknown works, the book is an important contribution to our understanding of van Hoogstraten’s life and art. The Versatile Painter, Poet, Courtier And European Traveller Samuel Van Hoogstraten (1627-1678), One Of Rembrandt's Pupils, Has Received Much Scholarly Attention In The Last Two Decades. Whereas Older Historians Allotted Him A Marginal Role As A Minor Figure In His Master's Studio, He Is Now Recognized For His Central Position In The World Of Art And Letters In The Dutch Golden Age. This New Evaluation Is Mainly Due To Careful Studies Of His Treatise On Painting, 'inleyding Tot De Hooge Schoole Der Schilderkonst' (introduction To The Academy Of Painting, 1678). His Book Has Been Mined For Unique Insights Not Only Into Rembrandt's Working Methods But Also Into Profounder Problems Relative To Dutch Art And Culture, Such As Pictorial Realism, Imitation And Illusion, The Rise Of Landscape And Still Life And The Status Of The 'learned Artist'.

Door zijn experimenten met optische illusies zocht hij aansluiting bij de natuurwetenschap van zijn tijd. Bovendien schreef hij enkele van de eerste Nederlandse romans en toneelstukken, en een schildertraktaat. Hij reisde naar Rome, Wenen en Londen, en introduceerde de Europese hofcultuur in de Lage Landen. In dit boek onderzoeken verschillende specialisten Van Hoogstratens werk, dat op unieke wijze aantoont hoe in de Nederlandse Gouden Eeuw schilderkunst, literatuur en wetenschap verweven waren. Hierbij gaat bijzondere aandacht uit naar Van Hoogstratens kunsttheorie en zijn literaire teksten, de rol van schilderijen in zijn sociale netwerk, zijn contacten in Italië en Engeland en natuurlijk de kunst van zijn leermeester, Rembrandt. Door nog onbekende werken voor het voetlicht te brengen en nieuwe verbanden te leggen tussen woord en beeld, levert dit boek een belangrijke bijdrage aan ons begrip van Van Hoogstratens 'universele kunst' in het bredere kader van de vroegmoderne cultuurgeschiedenis Samuel van Hoogstraten was not only one of Rembrandts most succesful pupils and a versatile painter. His experiments in optical illusion also attracted the interest of the natural scientists of his time. Furthermore, he wrote some of the first Dutch novels, plays, and a treatise on painting. After travelling to Rome, Vienna, and London he introduced European courtiers manners in the Low Countries. In this book, a collective of specialists with different backgrounds sheds light on the facets of Van Hoogstratens work that demonstrates in a unique manner how art, literature, and science were interrelated in the Dutch Golden Age. The contributors devote special attention to his theory of art and his literary writings, the role of paintings in his social network, his contacts in Italy and Britain, and finally the art of his master, Rembrandt. Bringing to the fore hitherto unknown works and highlighting new connections between word and image, the book is an important contribution to our understanding of Van Hoogstratens universal art and its implications for Early Modern cultural history.
