17th Century Dutch School
View of a Cathedral, 17th Century Dutch Ink and Wash Artwork, Mounted

About the Item

Ink and wash on paper Image size: 7 1/2 x 6 inches (19 x 15.25 cm) Mounted This drawing is of a Gothic style church in the Netherlands that is likely to have been built in the 15th and 16th centuries at the height of Gothic architecture in the area. Indeed, during the final years of the 15th century, and the beginning of the century that followed, there arose in the Netherlands a highly refined variant of Late Gothic architecture. Prominent patrons and artists continued to nurture this fertile Gothic idiom well into the 1530s, commissioning government buildings and guildhalls, churches and cathedrals. In the Cathedral here we can see depicted, multiple times, the defining design element of Gothic architecture in the pointed, or ogival, arch. It was the use of this pointed arch that in turn led to the development of the pointed rib vault and flying buttresses (not seen here) combined with elaborate tracery and stained glass windows (as seen here). With these features a new architectural style emerged that emphasised the verticality and the effect created by the transmission of light through the series of stained glass windows in the religious space.

A Musical Party
By German School
Located in New York, NY
Provenance: Dr. George Hamilton, Massachusetts; and by descent. Private Collection, Ohio, until 2021. Exhibited: (Possibly) Clark Art Institute, Massachusetts (according to a handwritten inscription on the reverse). This drawing by an anonymous, 16th-century German hand presents a delightful scene of nymphs—mostly nude but some draped with cloth—making music in an outdoor setting. The composition is executed within a roundel and centers on the harpsichord played by the figure seen from behind. She is accompanied by a host of other instruments, including horns, a harp, and a lira da gamba played by figures gathered nearby, several of which are positioned along the curved edges of the visual field. Two satyrs observe the merrymaking—one leans on the harpsichord while the other holds aloft a cup, presumably of wine, adding a bacchic element to the revelry. The drawing was previously owned by Dr. George Hamilton, scholar of modern art and Director of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown (1966–1977). Hamilton played...
