Beuckelaer and the Art of Dining
Amsterdam University Press (Verlag)
9789463727822 (ISBN)
Sixteenth-century Flemish painter Joachim Beuckelaer produced dozens of large-scale paintings of contemporary working women and men selling, presenting, and preparing a visually stunning array of foodstuffs for the viewer. These were new subjects in Antwerp and even newer in Italy, where elite merchants and nobles like Margaret of Parma displayed them as they were meant to be displayed: in dining rooms and spaces used for entertaining. This study explores the cross-cultural meanings of Beuckelaer's distinctly Northern European kitchen and market scenes in the context of North Italian dining and food culture. Examining the functions of Beuckelaer's strange and new subject matter, Goldstein situates his paintings and those of his closest Italian follower, Vincenzo Campi, in the physical space of the dining room, addressing dining practice and the class and gender tensions inherent in a setting that placed both elite and non-elite viewers before life-sized renderings of their employees, and themselves.
Claudia Goldstein is Professor of Art History at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey, USA. She holds an MA in Italian Renaissance Art from Syracuse University’s Florence Program and a PhD in Northern Renaissance Art from Columbia. Her first book, Pieter Bruegel and the Culture of the Early Modern Dinner Party, won the Joop Witteveen Prize from the University of Amsterdam in 2014.
