Print Quarterly invites applications for a program dedicated to prints connoisseurship and curatorial practice, spanning from printmaking techniques to innovative strategies of display and public engagement in a museum context.

Simiolus Netherlands quarterly for the history of art
The papers in the current issue of Simiolus span five centuries of Netherlandish art history. Svea Janzen presents new insights in an Eyckian portrait at the National Gallery in London, cautiously suggesting him to be Duke Louis IX the Rich of Bavaria-Landshut. Stefaan Grieten revisits the well-known but little-studied house of the enigmatic landscape painter Cornelis van Dalem, presenting new visual sources and an iconographical reading of its facade. In the third paper, Stefan Bartilla studies Jan Brueghel’s 1604 journey to Prague, focusing on its impact on the development of his painted output.
Leen Kelchtermans and Katharina Van Cauteren demonstrate that what has long been thought to be a heraldic aberration in double portraits by Anthony van Dyck and Jacques Jordaens should in fact be read as a sign of pregnancy and motherhood.
Stefan Huygebaert, finally, addresses the reception of Memling’s oeuvre in Bruges of c. 1900, by

Burlington Press with Ad Ilissum
Hugely ambitious, Titian: Sources and Documents includes all known documents about Titian and his work dating from his lifetime, and all known references to him in contemporary publications. The relevant section of each text is transcribed in full, preceded by a short summary in English, with extensive annotation and, where necessary, a commentary. The intention of this incredible work of scholarship is to provide a comprehensive survey of the surviving historical evidence about Titian and his career. New transcriptions are provided for the great majority of the documents that have previously been published, and many hitherto unknown documents have been included. Consideration is given also to documents now known only via secondary sources, and to fake documents, of which a signi cant number were produced in the past two centuries.
Charles Hope is a former Director of the Warburg Institute. He has published extensively on fteenth- and sixteenthcentury Italian art. The present book is based on research he has undertaken over the past half-century.
