Research
My current research project focuses on the painter, printmaker and draughtsman Bartholomeus Breenbergh (1598-1657). Based on the extensive study of visual and archival material - print and drawings in various stages and notarial deeds - I define his development and role as an artist and entrepreneur in the artistic networks of Amsterdam, Rome, London and possibly Andalusia, Spain.
