Simiolus In the most recent volume of Simiolus, we have published a previously unknown Van Eyck document and a detailed study on the identity of the male sitter in the Arnolfini portrait (definitely not Giovanni). We also revealed the identity of the family portrayed in Adriaen van Ostade’s famous picture in the Louvre, and published an evaluation of the archival sources on the living conditions of the northern Netherlandish painters in seventeenth-century Italy – to mention just a few of the papers in volume 43 (2021). In the concluding issue you will find – among much else – the reason for the hitherto unexplained presence of the monumental Atlas on Amsterdam’s seventeenth-century Town Hall and a study of the career of the unscrupulous art dealer Leo Nardus, who merrily sold masterpieces as well as fakes to some of the greatest collectors of the gilded age.
