In the present issue of Simiolus, Stephan Kemperdick critically reviews the traditional identification of the man portrayed by Jan van Eyck as Niccolò Albergati, and Harald Deceulaer discusses spectacular, newly discovered documents on Michiel Sweerts in Brussels, offering a unique insight into his spirituality. Ankie de Jongh Vermeulen reveals contacts between César Domela Nieuwenhuis, Hilla Rebay and Solomon R. Guggenheim, while Susana Puente Matos proposes a new interpretation of Pyke Koch’s oeuvre, based on recently uncovered biographical information.
