Пост 51 (20). Вермеер и Дельфтская школа. Часть первая. Примечания

31. Broos 1993, p. 3I3. The question is discussed further in Liedtke 2ooo, pp. I91-99.

32. As discussed in Liedtke 2000, pp. 199-202. On Van Bronchorst, see Doring 1993·

33· Ebeltje Hartlcamp-Jonxis in Amsterdam 1993-94, p. 420, under no. 78; see also her biography of Spiering on pp. 3I6-I7.

34. SeeM. I. E. van Zijl's essay on Delft tapestries in Delft 198I, pp. 202-9.

35. The relationship is explained in Montias I989, p. 247. In addition, Pieter Claesz van Ruijven's sister Pieternella was Spiering's godchild. In the seventeenth century this usually indicates a strong bond between families.

36. As emphasized by Broos in Washington, The Hague 1995-96, p. 49. See especially Montias 1989, pp. I8o-8I, on Monconys's visit to Vermeer, and Naumann 1981, vol. I, p. 26, on his visit to Van Mieris.

37· Wheelock in Washington, The Hague 1995-96, p. 23 (see also Broos on p. 49). An obvious answer would be that the balcer, Hendrick van Buyten, was a possible seller and Van Ruijven was not. But see my text following.

38. Broos in ibid., p. 49; on p. 48 Broos makes the surprising claim that Monconys went to Delft a second time "with but a single purpose, to meet Vermeer?' A likely alternative had already been suggested in Montias I989, pp. 18o-81.

39. The story is told in Montias 1989, pp. I8o-8I, where "Gentillo" is not identified.

40. As suggested in Montias I997, p. 198, and kindly brought to my attention by the author in the summer of 1999. The artist is also known as Luigi Primo.

41. Heinz 1967, p. 154.

42. See Montias 1989, pp. I76-8o (p. 176, n. 20, on Van Peer I968).

43. Michael Montias noted this connection in conversation in I999· On Vermeer and Sweerts, see Washington, The Hague I995-96, p. 168, and Liedtlce 2000, pp. 24I, 243. In the latter part of 1661 Sweerts left Amsterdam to go to Persia with a group of French missionaries. His close association with Gentile in Rome is described in Kultzen 1996, pp. 3-7. Between 1656 (when Gentile went from Rome to Brussels) and about 1659, Sweerts ran a drawing academy in Brussels; Gentile himself was an advocate of academic training and art theory.

44. See most recently Blom, Bruin, and Ottenheym 1999.

45. See De Maere and Wabbes I994, vol. I, p. I77· Gentile's pupil was ChristoffelHuygens, not Constantijn Huygens's son Christiaan (1629-1695), the famous astronomer and portrait draftsman. 

46. See Sellers in The Hague I997-98b, p. I38. On Huygens's interest in the natural sciences, see Matthey I973
