Simiolus has become a journal of record for studies in Netherlandish art. Over the past decades, we have had the privilege of publishing many of the most influential and exciting papers in the field.
We are therefore interested in all original contributions on the history of Dutch and Flemish art especially, and if accepted, offer to pay for the cost of translation into English of manuscripts submitted in Dutch, German or French.
Our next issue, vol. 40-1, will feature contributions by Paul Claes with a corrected reading of the first line of the quatrain on the frame of The Ghent altarpiece, Maria Clelia Galassi on the Genoese Sauli family's patronage of Jan Provoost, and by Laurens Meerman on the collection of Pieter de Smeth van Alphen (1753–1809), one of the finest collections ever of Dutch seventeenth-century paintings, with a full catalogue of the pictures auctioned in 1810. There will also be a review of François I et l'art des Pays-Bas by Matthias Ubl.
