We are inviting the first round of submissions to the newly founded Belvedere Research Journal (BRJ), a peer-reviewed, open access e-journal. We seek articles that shed new light on the visual culture of the former Habsburg Empire and Central Europe broadly defined from the medieval period to the present day. We especially welcome contributions that situate Austrian art practices within the broader international context. Moreover, we are interested in innovative approaches to art history, such as the decentralization of established narratives or the investigation of transnational transfers that reveal the interconnected and cross-cultural character of the art world. Finally, the BRJ seeks contributions that draw attention to artists and agents whose activities have previously been overlooked, especially women. We support interdisciplinary research that introduces novel theoretical approaches by combining art history with methodologies from other disciplines, such as the digital humanities, social sciences and cultural economics among others.

Each issue of the BRJ will consist of up to ten articles and provides two different publication formats: research articles (between 20,000 and 50,000 characters, incl. endnotes and spaces) that will undergo strict double-blind peer-review, and discoveries (approximately 15,000 characters, incl. endnotes and spaces) which are subject to editorial review and are directly focused on works in the Belvedere collection (https://sammlung.belvedere.at/). In addition to established scholars, we aim to involve early career researchers, including PhD students.

After the first issue, which has a submission deadline of Sept. 30, 2022, the BRJ will accept manuscripts on a rolling basis. The language of publication is English, with the BRJ arranging translation for accepted manuscripts. All articles receive professional copy-editing and appear in an open annual issue immediately after their final acceptance (running from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31). The BRJ manages the acquisition of image rights. We do not charge any article processing charges (APC).

Accepted submissions will be published under the Creative Commons License CC BY 4.0. The copyright remains with the author(s).

The editors welcome informal enquiries regarding potential proposals. Articles and enquiries should be sent to: journal@belvedere.at. For further information, please see the website of our journal: https://journals.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php/brj/index

In conjunction with the major exhibition and publication, Tales of the City: Drawing in the Netherlands from Bosch to Bruegel—a collaboration between the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Albertina Museum, Vienna—the CMA is convening an international symposium on sixteenth-century Netherlandish drawing in Fall 2022.

The Netherlandish cities of the sixteenth century—Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, Ghent, Leiden, Haarlem, ’s-Hertogenbosch, to name a few—provided some of the most remarkable and fertile urban settings in history for art patronage and creation. In the course of the sixteenth century, drawing in the Netherlands developed from a medium used primarily for copying and recording compositions to an active design process. This was partially a result of the many demands placed on urban artists, who were called upon to create not only paintings and sculpture, but also to visualize the wide-ranging, multi-media adornment of civic, religious, and domestic spaces such as guild halls, churches, private homes, and even city streets during events such as joyous entries. The great diversity in techniques, functions, and types of Netherlandish drawings that come down to us today elucidate the connections between drawing and printmaking, stained glass, decorative arts, and other media. They often defy strict classifications of type such as preparatory, presentation, or finished works. Indeed, many drawings straddled multiple categories in practice and played various roles in processes of translation and communication in light of shifting market and audience expectations in cosmopolitan urban milieux.

We invite proposals for papers that address the multifaceted purposes of drawing in the context of northern and southern Netherlandish cities in the 16th century. Proposals are invited from advanced graduate students, scholars, curators, and conservators on themes including but not limited to the development and purpose of drawing techniques; the role of drawing in proposing innovative subject matter; in negotiating contentious terrain (political, religious); and in communicating and collaborating between artists, craftsmen, and civic bodies. Papers will be limited to 20 minutes in length and presented in English.

Abstracts must be submitted electronically to NetherlandishDrawings@clevelandart.org, no later than June 20, 2022. Presenter invitations will be extended by July 11. Travel grants will be available on a limited basis for those without travel or professional development funds. Please indicate if you anticipate applying for a travel grant.

This symposium is funded by a generous grant from the Robert Lehman Foundation.

The William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor seeks applications for a two-year 40-hour per week residential fellowship for a recent master’s degree recipient in library/information science or a humanities field relevant to the Clements Library’s holdings. Located on the central campus of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, the William L. Clements Library houses original resources related to the history of the Americas, with particular focus on the history and culture of North America and the Caribbean up to 1900.

In addition to processing and describing materials, the fellow will have the opportunity to help develop cataloging priorities for the collection, shape description strategies, and apply principles of diversity, equity and inclusion to collection description and access systems

In addition to the professional development opportunities provided through hands-on work with a world-class collection of American graphic materials from a broad range of formats, the fellowship will provide the recipient with support to attend one course per year related to cataloging graphic materials at the Rare Book School or elsewhere.
