• Resumen

  • The article offers criticism on the 1604 volume “Het Schilder-boeck,” (“The paint book”) by Karel van Mander. The author discusses the opening poem of the book “Leerdicht,” or “Grondt,” which explores the art of painting. Topics addressed include scholarship from Hessel Miedema on the book, the idea that the parts of the book do not make a coherent whole and should be considered separately, the chronology of the book's compilation, and the intended audience of different parts of the books.
