User:Jane023/Arnold Houbraken project

My Arnold Houbraken Project started out in 2009 as simply wikifying the list of painters in the index of the book De groote schouburgh der Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen: Waar van 'er veele met hunne Beeltenissen ten Tooneel verschynen, en hun Levensgedrag en Konstwerken beschreven worden: zynde een vervolg op het Schilderboek van K.v. Mander, by Arnold Houbraken. I started with the list from the second printing of the compiled version of Houbraken's masterpiece in 1753 as it has been digitised by the DBNL.

1718

Volume 1 ('T welk zyn aanvang neemt met het Jaar 1466, en vervolgt met die Konstschilders, welker geboorte in dien tusschentyd tot het Jaar 1613 voorgevallen is.), designed as an addendum to Karel van Mander's work, listed artists born between 1466 (Erasmus) and 1613 (Jacques van Artois). It was originally published in 1718. My list of V1 names by order of mention is here: User:Jane023/Arnold Houbraken, Schouburg V1

1719

Volume 2 ('T welk zyn aanvang neemt met het Jaar 1613, en vervolgt met die Konstschilders, welker geboorte in dien tusschentyd tot het Jaar 1635 voorgevallen is.), designed as a sequel to the first work, listed artists born between 1613 (Gerard Dou) and 1635 (Pieter Fris). It was published in 1719 (the year of Houbraken's death). My list of V2 names by order of mention is here: User:Jane023/Arnold Houbraken, Schouburg V2

1721

Volume 3 ('T welk zyn aanvang neemt met het Jaar 1635, en vervolgt met die Konstschilders, welker geboorte in dien tusschentyd tot het Jaar 1659 voorgevallen is.), designed as an addendum to Karel van Mander's work, listed artists born between 1635 (Frans van Mieris) and 1659 (Adriaen van der Werff). After Houbraken died in 1719, volume 3 was published in 1721. My list of V3 names by order of mention is here: User:Jane023/Arnold Houbraken, Schouburg V3

1753

The second printing of all three volumes featuring new indexes (Van veele Drukfouten gezuivert en met Nieuwe Registers voorzien) was done in 1753. The later indexes do not match Houbraken's original indexes of volumes 1 & 2, which were indexed alphabetically by first name in the same way as Karel van Mander's Schilder-boeck. Karel van Mander was Houbraken's main inspiration and example, and he included his name in the subtitles of all three books. The list is here: Naamlijst der schilders en schilderessen
