The Corinth Endowment, gifted to the Emory Art History Department by Kay Corinth in honour of her father-in-law, the painter Lovis Corinth, made possible the colloquium at which the first versions of the essays in this volume were delivered. In 2016, her sister Mary Sargent substantially increased this endowment. The annual colloquia provide an interdisciplinary forum for the study of early modern northern art. The editors are grateful to Claire Sterk, President of Emory University, Michael Elliott, Dean of Emory College, Carla Freeman, Senior Associate Dean of Faculty, Lisa Tedesco, Dean of the Laney Graduate School, and Sarah McPhee, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Art History and Departmental Chair, for their lively interest in and support of the Corinth Colloquia. Richard (Bo) Manly Adams, Jr., Director of Pitts Theology Library and Margaret A. Pitts Assistant Professor in the Practice of Theological Bibliography, made his fine collections available to the participants. Kim Collins, Humanities Librarian, did the same at the Rose Library of Manuscripts, Archives, and Rare Books. Linnea Harwell, Academic Degree Programs Coordinator in Graduate Studies, facilitated the colloquium with incredible grace and efficiency, and assisted our visitors in ways too numerous to count. Blanche Barnett, Academic Department Administrator, provided essential administrative support during the planning and implementation of the colloquium. Christopher Sawula, Visual Resources Librarian, and Becky Baldwin, Assistant Librarian, supplied both images and technical expertise. Last but not least, the editors owe a great debt of thanks to Annie McEwen, whose assistance at every stage ensured that this volume saw the light of day.
