This is the website of Delineavit and Sculpsit,
founded on 17 November 1999 and based in Leiden,
The Netherlands.
The foundation is a non-commercial organisation conforming to Dutch law and
aims at publishing the homonomous periodical as
well as books related to Dutch and Flemish Old Master prints and drawings
until around 1850.
The foundation is closely connected to the Print Room of Leiden University, where most of the board
members have graduated or received their Ph.D. in art history.
The foundation is hosted by the Netherlands Institute for Art History (Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie)
in The Hague.
The periodical exists since 1989 as an initiative of three curators and
teachers at the Leiden University Printroom, and
was until 1999 published by the foundation 'Vrienden
van het Prentenkabinet der
Rijksuniversiteit te Leiden' (Friends of the
Leiden University Print Room).
This website offers information on both the
organisation and its publications as well as other activities.
In addition, it intends to serve as a stepping stone to institutions in this
field, i.e. museums, print rooms, libraries, research institutes and relevant
periodicals, with hyperlinks to various websites of interest. As such, it is
not only intended for the prints & drawings specialists and collectors,
but for all those interested in Dutch and Flemish Old Master prints and
drawings.
It will be no surprise that special attention is given to the collections of
prints and drawings in the Leiden University Print Room. All illustrations on
this site are of drawings and prints kept in the Leiden collections.
