Study photographs of Flemish paintings and drawings (post-1600, pre-1800). 19--?

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79880959

This assembled collection of photographs covers Flemish painting and drawing from the 17th through the 18th centuries. Seventeenth-century paintings are particularly well documented, through images of works in private collections and small museums as well as major public collections. The work of approximately 700 artists is represented, with strong holdings for Jan Brueghel I, Jan Brueghel II, Pieter Brueghel II, Anthony van Dyck, Jan Fyt, Jacob Jordaens, Joos II de Momper, David Teniers II, and Peter Paul Rubens. The collection contains photographs from the archives of a number of scholars and conservators, including J.G. van Gelder, Jaap Bolten (Dutch and Flemish drawings, including photographs from the collection of J.Q. van Regteren Altena), Neil MacLaren, Sophus Michaëlis, Giannino Marchig, Mauro Pellicioli, and Erwin Panofsky. A part of the repository's Honnef Archive has also been integrated with this collection. Other scholarly sources include photographs acquired from Pomona College. Art dealers' archives constitute another source of the images in this collection. Photographs and auction catalog clippings come from the Amsterdam dealer P. de Boer and from Douwes Fine Art Gallery and Duits in London. The Flemish school is also illustrated by photographs from French & Company, Julius Weitzner, and David Koetser, as well as by duplicates of prints also found in the repository's Heim Gallery archive (Special Collections accn. no. 910004). Copy prints represent works held in public and private collections and at auction (particularly Sotheby's and Christie's), including Flemish works in the Ashmolean Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the national galleries in Dublin, London, and Washington D.C., the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; copy prints were also acquired through a campaign to document the holdings of French provincial collections. Commercial vendors and photographers include Bulloz, Photographie Giraudon, Fratelli Alinari, Bruckmann, Saskia, and Gernsheim's Corpus photographicum of drawings.

594 boxes (ca. 49,000 photographic prints) : b&w ; 35 cm. and 47 cm.
