Dr. Jeroen Giltaij Passed Away at Age 78
1 December 2025 / Rotterdam
Jeroen Giltaij (1947-2025), a graduate from the University of Amsterdam (PhD in 1997, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), worked most of his professional career at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen (1972-2012). There he started as an assistant in the department of Prints and Drawings and was appointed the first chief curator of Old Master Paintings and Sculpture in 1979. His collection catalogue of the drawings of Rembrandt and his school was published in 1988, ten years after the manuscript was finished. Although from then on most of his time and energy were devoted to the research, publication, acquisition and presentation of Dutch paintings from the seventeenth century, especially by Rembrandt, Jeroen regularly also published on drawings by Rembrandt and by various other Dutch masters such as Jacob van Ruisdael, Jan van der Meer van Haarlem and Jan de Braij, including an article about the latter in our magazine (52, 2023). His last publication is on drawings by the landscape painter Jan Looten, included in Lines of Friendship, the posthumous Liber Amicorum for the late Robert-Jan te Rijdt, which was released just two weeks ago (see news item below).
Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
See also the in memoriam on the Codart website, where attention is also paid to his many publications and exhibitions in the field of Old Master paintings.
Lines of Friendship commemorating Robert-Jan te Rijdt
17 November 2025 / Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum
During a well-attended gathering in the Auditorium of the Rijksmuseum the first copies of this comprehensive book (560 pages, 700 illustrations) were presented to the daughter and other family members of Robert-Jan te Rijdt, the Emeritus Curator of Drawings at the Rijksmuseum who passed away in November 2024.
No fewer than 57 authors contributed 55 art historical essays to this impressive book, which was originally intended as a Liber Amicorum to be presented to him on his 70th birthday on 11 August this year. Many of his friends and colleagues, including five members of the Delineavit et Sculpsit editorial board, wrote essays commemorating Robert Jan, who was a member of our board for 30 years.
It is a wide ranging publication with subjects from the late 16th century to the present day, but with a strong focus on the 18th century. All visual arts are represented: paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, applied arts, and garden architecture.
The editing was done by our former chairman Charles Dumas, together with Charles Kang, Marleen Ram and Gajus Scheltema. The design and layout are by Dumas together with the publisher Evelyn de Regt. Copies can be ordered from her publishing house Primavera Pers in Leiden.
Royal decoration for former chairman Delineavit
26 April 2013 / The Hague
Due to his great cultural achievements, especially in the field of art history, Charles Dumas, our former chairman (2013-21), received a royal decoration from the major of The Hague. He has been created Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau. Afterwards, during a reception his family, friends and close colleagues congratulated him. On the photo Dumas is standing next to his successor, the present chairman of the Foundation Delineavit et Sculpsit, Dr. Peter van der Coelen.
