The Corinth Endowment, established by Kay Corinth in honour of her father-in-law, the painter Lovis Corinth, made possible the colloquium at which the papers revised for this volume were first delivered. In 2016, her sister, Mary Sargent, generously increased this endowment in her sister’s memory. The annual colloquium provides 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, Chair of Art History, for their continuing support of the Corinth Colloquia. Richard Manly (‘Bo’) Adams, Jr., Director of the Pitts Theology Library, and Sarah Bogue, Head of Research and Access Services, made their fine collections available to the participants, as also did Rosemary Magee, Director Emerita of the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library, and Courtney Chartier, Head of Research Services. Kim Collins, Art History and Classics Librarian and Research Engagement Services Reader provided crucial bibliographic support. Christopher Sawula, Visual Resources Librarian, and Becky Baldwin, Visual Resources Assistant Librarian, offered invaluable technical assistance. Linnea Harwell, Art History Academic Degree Programs Coordinator in Graduate Studies oversaw the complicated process of booking plane tickets, securing hotel reservations, finding conference rooms, and orchestrating the banquets. It was also she who designed the beautiful colloquium poster. She was ably aided and abetted by Annie McEwen, Lovis Corinth Graduate Assistant. The editors owe Ms. Harwell and Ms. McEwen a debt of gratitude that can never be adequately repaid. In addition, Ms. McEwen served as an indefatigable editorial assistant. Without her helping hand, this volume would never have seen the light of day.
