- Professor Joanna Woodall edited The Netherlands Yearbook for History of Art/Nederlands Kunsthistorisch Jaarboek (NKJ) for 2014, in collaboration with Professor Bart Ramakers (Dutch Literature, Groeningen) and Professor Christine Goettler (Art History, Bern). The volume brought together historians of art, literature, economics, political philosophy and material culture to consider the relationship between material and symbolic value in Antwerp in the entire period 1500 – 1660, a timeframe which is not generally explored.
Woodall conceived the theme of the volume and edited the submissions with her co-editors. She was joint author of the opening article: ‘Trading values in early modern Antwerp: An introduction’ and wrote the article, ‘De wisselaer: Quentin Matsys’s Man weighing gold coins and his wife, 1514’. Woodall’s research for the volume was concerned with the emergence of works of art in Antwerp which allowed beholders to make active, personal moral judgements and choices, informed by mercantile and monetary values.
Over a period of two years and with support from a Dutch Research Council (NWO) networking grant, Woodall, as joint investigator, brought together leading experts on Antwerp to participate in three workshops and mini-conferences to exchange ideas and to identify common themes and issues. This edition of the Yearbook was highly cross-disciplinary; the individual chapters exemplify the multiple ways in which, in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Antwerp, cultural artefacts of various kinds could take on and produce different values and meanings, ranging from material and monetary to moral and spiritual, to artistic and aesthetic, depending on their contexts of creation, use and interpretation.
The research for the volume produced new insights into Antwerp’s economic standing, material outputs, and use of cultural and intellectual resources in its production of luxury goods. One reviewer noted its cross-disciplinary significance and that it was ‘highly recommendable to any scholar working on the early modern Netherlands’.
