Gerson Digital : Germany I , the 3rd volume of the renewed, illustrated and annotated English edition of Horst Gerson’s Ausbreitung und Nachwirkung der holländischen Malerei des 17. Jahrhunderts (1942/1983), appeared in 2017 at the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Horst Gerson’s ‘Ausbreitung’.1 It was presented at the two-day symposium Masters of Mobility. Cultural Exchange between the Netherlands and Germany in the long 17th Century, an event the RKD co-organized with the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam on 8-9 October 2017 (see Programme). The papers of the symposium will be published in the autumn of 2020. The section on Austria, Bohemia and Silesia has been added to the publication in September 2018.
The annotations to Gerson's text have greatly benefited from the comments of Stefan Bartilla, Ellinoor Bergvelt, Nils Büttner, Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann, Gero Seelig and Nicolette Sluijter-Seijffert.2
