Download or read book Willem Gerard Hofker 1902 1981 written by Seline Hofker and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Willem Gerard Hofker (1902-1981) is vooral bekend van zijn Indische oeuvre, maar weinig mensen weten dat deze impressionist, die in kringen van schilders als Willem Witsen, Isaac Israels en Georg Breitner opgroeide, staatsieportretten maakte van koningin Wilhelmina en koningin Juliana. Ook schilderde Hofker een groot scala aan onderwerpen: van grachtengezichten tot bloemstillevens, van naakten tot sfeervolle landschappen met verborgen landhuizen. Daarbij was Willem Hofker een meester in alle media: olieverf, aquarel, conté-krijt, maar ook etsen, mezzotinten en lithografieën. Het boek brengt de breedte van Hofker's oeuvre onder de aandacht, en probeert met citaten uit de vele brieven en dagboeken dieper inzicht te geven in de wereld zoals Hofker haar zag.0Exhibition: Teylers Museum, Haarlem, the Netherlands (14.12.2013-16.3.2014).

Download or read book Renascent Empire written by Glenn Joseph Ames and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dit boek is gebaseerd op uitgebreid onderzoek in archieven in Portugal, India, Engeland en Frankrijk en is de eerste monografische studie van een cruciale, maar totnogtoe weinig bestudeerde periode in de geschiedenis van Portugals Aziatische rijk: de jaren 1640-1683. Ames' revisionistische werk laat zien dat in tegenstelling tot het traditionele beeld van onvermijdelijk verval en stagnatie in het Estado da India na 1640, deze jaren een vernieuwende en dynamische hervorming laten zien die de geo-politieke en economische stabilisatie van Portugees Azië rond 1683 tot gevolg hadden. Glenn Ames gaat in op de details van deze fundamentele verandering in het koloniale beleid jegens Azië zoals dat werd geïnitieerd door prins Regent Pedro van Braganza (1668-1702) en later zeer effectief in praktijk werd gebracht door Viceroy Luis de Medonça Furtado e Albuquerque.
