Erudite Eyes explores the network of the Antwerp cartographer
Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598), a veritable trading zone of art and
erudition. Populated by such luminaries as Pieter Bruegel, Joris
Hoefnagel, Justus Lipsius and Benedictus Arias Montanus, among
others, this vibrant antiquarian culture yielded new knowledge
about local antiquities and distant civilizations, and offered a
framework for articulating art and artistic practice. These
fruitful exchanges, undertaken in a spirit of friendship and
collaboration, are all the more astonishing when seen against the
backdrop of the ongoing wars. Based on a close reading of early
modern letters, alba amicorum, printed books, manuscripts and
artworks, this book situates Netherlandish art and culture between
Bruegel and Rubens in a European perspective.
