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. this site was first put on the internet in January 2000  24 April 2006  |
