Art, Affect, and Enslavement
Focusing on a single artwork, Frans Post’s painting called The Oxen Cart of 1638, this article explores what Édouard Glissant calls the emotional apartheid of the plantation system. It argues that the affective evasion of Post’s painting fosters anti-Black racism by denying the full humanity of captive peoples. The painting is read together with Caspar Barlaeus’s contemporary apologia for the leadership of Maurits of Nassau, who was the governor-…
Nadler, Steven. The Portraitist
The Portraitist: Frans Hals and His World, reveals that the artist's typical pattern of behaviour was to procure the goods needed to support his family-basics like bread, shoes, beer, butter, or livestock
Making Worlds
Introduction
Willem Janszoon Blaeu’s engraved wall map of America is used to introduce some of the potential for imaginative forms that resulted from the confrontation between early modern global forces and the mobility of materials and artisanal practices. Cartographic lines, pictorial forms, and texts comingle on the printed page, sometimes working together towards a totalizing document of lands and peoples, but also giving rise, through calligraphic invent…
Mapping Angels in Early Modern Amsterdam
The angel was a recurrent marginal embellishment on hundreds of maps made in seventeenth-century Amsterdam, whose innovative commercial mapmaking dominated the international market. This essay explores how the mapmakers adapted pervasive conventions of cartographic angelology as a means to explore the expanding possibilities as well as the limitations of their own practice. The peculiar pictorial partnership between cartographers and their guardi…
Publishing the Private in Dutch Comic Culture
This essay takes up one of Michael McKeon’s key analytical concepts – explicitation – and assesses how this historical process operated in Dutch cultural history. The paper traces alterations to the form and functions of a stock theme from carnival and festive life: the battle between a hen‐pecked husband and his domineering wife about who will wear the pants in their household. Over the course of several centuries, the battle for the pants under…
The Erotics of Looking
Interrupted from her task by our presence before the window, the woman inside looks out in response (plate 1). Daylight reflects from the curve of her head, echoing the luminosity of surface effects in the foreground. A tour de force of painted correspondences between diverse material things – metal ewer, striated vegetables, feathery fowl – intensified by the restrained palette and play of scale, the picture elicits our sensual involvement in th…

Street life in London and the organization of labour
In the preface to their book Street Life in London, published in 1877, the authors, photographer John Thomson and journalist Adolphe Smith, propose to present the public with ‘the result of careful observations among the poor of London ... a subject which has already been amply and ably treated’.1 As they hasten to point out to readers, however, their work is different from previous literature on the conditions of the city's lowest classes, such …
