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.
Having published our double issue on Old Age Creativity, with contributions on artists ranging from Dürer and Adriaen de Vries to Hokusai, the old man mad about painting, we will conclude Simiolus volume 40 (2018) with papers by Boudewijn Bakker on the late-medieval Utrecht artist Erhard Reuwich and his journey to the Holy Land and by Caecilie Weissert on Frans Floris and contemporary debates on the relation between painting and music. The other contributions in this hefty issue are by Sacha Zdanow, Annemieke Hoogenboom, Robert Fucci, Jan Piet Filedt Kok, Everhard Korthals Altes, Eric Jan Sluijter and Peter Hecht.
