| Contents | detailed report of his first lecture on Dutch painting, the varied art which Rembrandt saw all around him; on the Rembrandt house at the border of Dutch and Jewish Amsterdam, likens it to an observation tower on the border of two worlds: in the Dutch part he finds 'lively action without gesture', in the Jewish part he finds 'lively gesture without action'; perfection of cleanliness in one part, dirt in the other, harsh and luminous colours in one part, mixture of colours and lack of colours in the other part; on the topic of his next lecture, on Anthonis Mor and his portrait painting; on the Plasberg affair: Saxl copies a passage from a long letter by Richard Reitzenstein; mentions Immisch; Reitzenstein reported on the Boll event in Göttingen, Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften; on the E. Hoffmann article; thinks it out of question for Wolff to publish his Bibliothek Warburg lecture elsewhere; Emil Wolff has married Mrs. [Mathilde] Jolles; the time before 1589 is the problem - everything afterwards is so much more mature but where is the formula for it?; talks of the Henry VIII portraits, Mor, Holbein, Titian; is not impressed with Valerian v. Loga's book on the Italian Renaissance |
