“Art Ownership in Leiden in the Seventeenth Century” by C. Willemijn Fock, Anne Baudouin (translator)
Journal of Historians of Netherlandish Art – 13.1, Winter 2021
This article, now translated into English for the JHNA, originally appeared as “Kunstbezit in Leiden in de 17de eeuw” in Th. H. Lunsingh-Scheurleer et al., Het Rapenburg: Geschiedenis van een Leidse gracht, vol. 5b, (Leiden: Rijksuniversiteit Leiden, 1990), 3–36. Fock’s text centres on art owned by collectors and others living on Leiden’s famous canal – their professions, social status, the kinds of art that they had in their possession, and the positioning of those works within their households. Works have been identified with the aid of auction catalogues and public notarial inventories.
