Though the show has been up in Aachen for over a month now, I would be remiss not to mention the premier of the first-ever monographic exhibition of the work of Hans von Aachen. The official title, Hans von Aachen (1552-1615): Court Artist in Europe, captures the particular editorial inclinations of its staging: the exhibition is bounded by the artist's lifetiroduction, concerned with his relationship to court culture, and motivated by the agenda of restoring his reputation as a premiere painter of Europe circa 1600. By positioning von Aachen as an itinerant artist-cum-dealer-cum-diplomat active across a variety of major Continental cultural centers, the curators contextualize the artist's practice as new before.
