The Faces of Margraten
They Will Remain Forever Young
2022 || Hardcover || Fields of Honor Foundation || Amsterdam University Press
In the rolling hills of Limburg, near Margraten, they slowly loom up, row after row: the thousands of white marble crosses and Stars of David. They mark the final resting place of nearly 8,300 American soldiers who died during World War II. While the headstones provide us with the names of the mostly young men involved in the liberation of the Netherlands, they do not tell us who the soldiers were and who they left behind. Moreover, the peace and quiet at the only American war cemetery in the...

Art, Honor and Success in The Dutch Republic
The Life and Career of Jacob van Loo
2024 || Hardcover || Judith Noorman || Amsterdam University Press
Focusing on the interrelationship between Jacob van Loo's art, honor, and career, this book argues that Van Loo's lifelong success and unblemished reputation were by no means incompatible, as art historians have long assumed, with his specialization in painting nudes and his conviction for manslaughter. Van Loo's iconographic specialty - the nude - allowed his clientele to present themselves as judges of beauty and display their mastery of decorum, while his portraiture perfectly expressed hi...

These questions take us into the world of political framing, which has attracted a lot of attention in recent times and forms the...
