Cool Light and the Open Sea: Dutch and Flemish Master Drawings and Their Conservation

Kunsthalle, Bremen, Bremen, Germany

This exhibition features Dutch and Flemish drawings from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries from the museum’s holdings. Following a multi-year restoration project supported by the Hermann Reemtsma Stiftung, a selection of these over 900 largely unknown works will be presented for the first time. The draftsmen on display include: Jacob Jordaens, Anthony van Dyck, Willem van de Velde, Jan van Goyen,Jacob van Ruisdael and artists from Rembrandt’s circle. In addition, the show will take a look at aspects of the restoration process and examine issues dealing with materials, such as the popular blue paper, drawing utensils, brushes, ink and chalk. Furthermore, it will present the various uses of drawings: squared and traced preliminary drawings for engravings, studies of details for paintings, the very first sketches of ideas, and completely executed works intended for sale. A special highlight will be drawings displayed to reveal their exciting reverse sides to visitors for the first time.

The exhibition is curated by Dr. Christien Melzer.
