County of Zeeland of the Seventeen Provinces of the Holy Roman Empire, and later in the Netherlands and British colonies of North America." ], [ "Etymology", "The name \"Van Watervliet\" means \"from water flow\" in Dutch.", "There is no place in Zeeland named \"Watervliet\", although the mostly-island county is surrounded by the sea and crisscrossed with irrigation canals." ], [ "History", "=== Origins in Zeeland ===Gillis Cornelissen Brouwer (c.1529–1591) gained notoriety operating \"The Old Brewery\" Dutch: ''De Oude Brouwerie'' outside of Goes.", "His success enabled him to purchase significant amounts of land, and his prominence in the community led to him being appointed schout of Heinkenszand in 1560.Gillis married first around 1552 to an unknown woman and the union produced one son, Cornelis Gillissen.", "In 1577 Gillis married Clara lemantsdochter, and that union produced three children, one of whom, Jacobmijnken Gillisdochter, married Jongheer Jan Pietersen van Cats, solidifying the family's connection to the Zeeland nobility.Like his father, Cornelis Gillissen continued to acquire lands, particularly those of expat and extinct noble families, and increase the family's civic involvement.", "Supporters elected him first a schepen (councilman) and later Burgemeester (mayor) of Goes.", "Between 1588 and 1609 Maurice, Prince of Orange, Stadtholder of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands, elevated Cornelis to ridder (knight), then the highest rank in the Dutch nobility beneath the head of state, and Heer (baron) van Watervliet, possibly in return for support during Catholic King Phillip II's persecution of Protestants in the Netherlands.", "Around this time Maurice also appointed Cornelis to the Rekenkamer (Court of Audit) of Zeeland.", "Researchers cannot yet explain the selection of \"Watervliet\" as the estate name.", "The closest place named Watervliet is in Flanders in Belgium, approximately 20 miles (30km) from Goes, but there is a Zeeland tie to the Heer of that Watervliet: Count Hieronymus Lauweryn van Watervliet served as Treasurer-General of Zeeland from 1499 to 1508.Also, the title is an unusual example of a grant where the fount granted no accompanying fief--Gillissen's land was allodial, a ''vrijheerlijkheid''--so the title is attached to Cornelis and his descendants to the present day.Grave of Cornelis and Anna van Watervliet.Cornelis married Maria van Campen, and they produced five children, including Cornelia, Gillis, and Cornelis.", "Cornelia married David van der Nisse, Heer van Nisse, who later served as Burgemeester of Goes.", "Gillis and Cornelis followed in their father's footsteps as councilmen and mayors of Goes, ridders, and serving on the Rekenkamer.", "Cornelis married Anna van Liere, they produced four children, and share a grave in the Great Church of Mary Magdalene in Goes.By the middle 17th Century, some Dutch provinces began following the practice of the Holy Roman Empire where all descendants, male and female, inherited the father's title (but only males could pass it on), so official records of the time referred to all four of Cornelis and Anna's children variously and concurrently as \"Heer van Watervliet\", and \"Heer van Ellewoutsdijk, etc\".", "In 1651 their daughter Anna Maria wed a Dutch-Czech nobleman, Ferdinand de Perponcher Sedlnitsky, ridder, Freiherr von Choltitz und Fullstein, and a cousin of Hendrik George de Perponcher Sedlnitsky.", "In adulthood, Cornelis and Anna's sons, Cornelis and Emmery, served as councilmen and mayors of Goes,

America ===Mentions of the Van Watervliets in the records of Zeeland gradually disappear in the 18th Century, while Myndert and Carsten start a new chapter of the family history in the New Netherland settlement of Beverwijck around 1655.As Lutherans, their move to North America may have been prompted by a 1619 law that limited membership in the highest level of government, the ''Ridderschap'', to members of the Reformed Church.", "If true, it would not be the family's last tangle with Calvinists.", "In moving they also deployed another family name, Van Everinghe, invoking their ancient and more prestigious title of Heer van Ellewoutsdijk, Everinghe, Koudorp, en Driewegen, which was the second largest barony in Zeeland at the time and dates to the 13th Century.", "Due to non-standardized spelling and Anglicization of names over time, they and their descendants appear in records variously under the names Van Iveren, Van Yveren, Van Every, Van Evera, and Van Avery, with or without the space and sometimes with the \"between-joiner\" \"Van\" treated as an additional given name or as an initial.Watervliet, NY, in 1854.As Van Watervliets, Myndert and Carsten immediately started businesses as blacksmiths and fur traders to fund land purchases in the colony, with Rynier acting as their agent in Amsterdam.", "Myndert served as a city councilor and elder in the Lutheran church, and in 1673 he and four other prominent Lutherans sent a letter to the Governor-General of New Netherland asking that Lutherans' free exercise of religion not be curtailed by the colony or Reformed Church.", "The request was granted.", "Eventually Myndert secured a warrant from Governor Thomas Dongan, 2nd Earl of Limerick, to provide all the arms and armor for Fort Orange, and joined the Albany Convention, with Governors Nicholas Bayard and Stephanus Van Cortlandt, and another Dutch nobleman, Frederick Philipse, seeking to restore the rule of William III of England (and probably not coincidentally, also Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic) against Leisler's Rebellion during the Glorious Revolution.", "Myndert is also noted as a close associate of Jeremias van Rensselaer, Patroon of

by William Gull, and aided by John Netley and Robert Anderson.", "Knight's research led him to the theory that Robert Anderson was not a culprit, but rather Sickert.", "Knight published this theory in his 1976 book, ''Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution''.", "Joseph Sickert revealed in 1978 that the story supposedly told by Walter was a hoax, but the theory still grew in popularity.", "The theory was again published in Jean Overton Fuller's 1990 book, ''Sickert and the Ripper Crimes'', and Patricia Cornwell's 2002 book ''Portrait of a Killer''.", "Cornwell used ''Jack the Ripper's Bedroom'' as evidence of her theory.", "In 2002, she infamously tore apart one of the ''Camden Town Murder'' paintings to retrieve Sickert's DNA.", "In 2019, an article in ''Science'', the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, stated that Cornwell's allegation that Sickert was the Ripper was based on a DNA analysis of letters that \"many experts believe ... to be fake\" and that \"another genetic analysis of the letters claimed the murderer could have been a woman\".Author Jennifer Dasal says the art world \"by-and-large\" has \"scoffed at the assertion of Walter Sickert as Jack the Ripper\".", "Baron calls the theory a \"fantasy\", and says \"it is uncertain whether Jack the Ripper's Bedroom suggested the Jack the Ripper title to him, or vice versa\".", "She says the theories \"pay insufficient heed to the imperatives which motivated Sickert as a painter\", and that his business in Camden Town was \"of a painter in at a certain stage of technical development\".", "Dasal says it's reminiscent of \"those who willingly pay to stay in the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast in Fall River, Massachusetts--the frisson of being connected to a killer, however loose, is a huge draw\"." ], [ "References" ], [ "Sources", "*Baron, Wendy (2006).", "''Sickert: Paintings and Drawings'', Yale University Press.", "ISBN 9780300111293* Smith, Clare (2016).", "''Jack the Ripper

[ [ "Angel musicians (National Gallery)" ], [ "Introduction", "The '''Angel musicians''' are two paintings created in the late 15th century to frame Leonardo da Vinci's ''Virgin of the Rocks''.", "Their purpose was to decorate the side panels of the Altarpiece in the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception, created to decorate a chapel in the Church of San Francesco Grande in Milan.", "Separated from their original altarpiece at the very end of the 18th century, they have been in the National Gallery in London since 1898.Both paintings are dated between 1495 and 1499.The first is entitled ''Angel in Green with a Vielle''; it has long been attributed to the Italian Renaissance painter Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis, but recent research shows that it may instead be due to Francesco Napoletano, one of Leonardo da Vinci's pupils.", "The second, entitled Angel in Red with lute, is generally attributed to Ambrogio de Predis.", "The influence of Leonardo da Vinci is evident in the treatment of these classical figures.Although the two paintings are described in documents dating from the time of their creation, these are only indirectly so, since they mainly concern The Virgin of the Rocks.", "As a result, they remain objects of speculation for researchers as to their status as first or second versions of the work, their creation, attribution, dating, exact placement on the altarpiece and the reasons for their alterations over time - particularly regarding the background color." ], [ "Description", "Indicative size comparison between a woman of average stature (165 cm) and the Angel in Red painting (118.8 × 61 cm).Both paintings are mounted on an identical support: poplar panels.", "Both use the same medium: walnut oil paint.", "Their dimensions, very similar, are 117.2 × 60.8 cm for the Angel in Green and 118.8 × 61 cm for the Angel in Red.The two panels share many similarities: each features a single full-length figure, standing in a trompe-l'œil niche featuring the same gradations of gray.", "The figures stand on their right legs, with their left feet pointing towards the viewer.", "Wings open slightly behind their backs, indicating their angelic nature.", "With long, curly hair, they are dressed in long, colored robes, one with a round collar, the other with a square collar.", "Each holds a musical instrument, which they appear to play.", "Their differences lie in the instrument they play, their posture, and the appearance and position of their heads.", "The angel in green is playing the lira da braccio; he appears to be rubbing the bow on the strings.", "He inclines his head towards his instrument in a posture identical to that of the Virgin in Leonardo da Vinci's the ''Virgin of the Rocks''.", "The angel in red plays the lute; his hand plucks the strings.", "His face, seen in profile, is turned to the viewer's left." ], [ "History", "=== Attributions ===Researchers agree that the two panels originated in Leonardo da Vinci's studio: indeed, they resemble the style used by the master in the London version of the central panel of the retable (the ''Virgin of the Rocks''); moreover, the three panels of the altarpiece demonstrate similar technical processes - the use of fingers, for example, to finish the contours of the figures - which, in some cases, are the source of identical problems - such as cracks in the paint layer appearing as soon as the drying process begins.More precisely, tradition has long held that the two paintings were by Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis alone, since he was one of three artists named in the commission contract, each with a role identified by art historians: Leonardo da Vinci for the central panel of the altarpiece, Evangelista de Predis for the gilding and his brother Ambrogio for the two side panels.", "However, numerous stylistic and technical clues tend to show that the two works, despite their great visual similarities, were produced by two different hands.", "The attribution of the ''Angel in Red'' thus enjoys a consensus in favor of Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis.", "While the ''Angel in Green'' was long attributed to the same painter, research carried out at the end of the 20th century now links it much more surely to Francesco Napoletano, a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci.", "Indeed, the technical characteristics visible through scientific imagery alone, such as the very different proportion between the colors and the black for the rendering of the skin, indicate that the painting is probably by an artist different from the one who created the ''Angel in Red''.", "Furthermore, technical and stylistic comparisons with Napoletano's creations from the same period, such as ''Madonna and Child'' (now in the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan) or ''Madonna and Child with St. Sebastian and St. John the Baptist'' (now in Zurich), both dated from the late 1480s, point to this painter.", "Finally, the hypothesis of another disciple of Leonardo da Vinci, Marco d'Oggiono, is sometimes evoked but without convincing.File:Détail Ange en vert du retable de l'Immaculée Conception.png|alt=Painting.", "Head of a figure with bowed face and long blond

are established throughout the scientific literature as ''Angel in Red with a Lute'' and ''Angel in Green with a Viell''e.", "However, with regard to the latter painting, most art historians specializing in painting incorrectly identify the instrument played by the angel as a vielle, whereas he is actually playing the lira da braccio.", "Although it should be Angel in Green with a lira da braccio, it is a title that has become inappropriate in both French and English.=== Dating ===It is reasonable to think that the two paintings were produced at the same time, between 1495 and 1499, even if this contradicts the National Gallery's estimate, which dates the Angel in Green between 1490 and 1499.Certainly, at the earliest, and taking into account the preparatory phase of the works' production, both paintings were created from 1490 onwards, as they are clearly inspired by the London version of the ''Virgin of the Rocks'', which itself is dated between 1491 and 1499 (then, after a pause of a few years, between 1506 and 1508).", "But more precisely, it is accepted that the Angel in Green was inspired by the figure of John the Apostle in ''The Last Supper'' (1495-1498, Milan, Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie), whose creation dates back to 1495.What's more, Ambrogio de Predis didn't return from Innsbruck, where he was in the company of Francesco Napoletano at the invitation of Bianca Maria Sforza, until July of that year.", "Finally, technical analysis clearly indicates that the two panels were created at the same time, thus ruling out the possibility that they were created several years apart, as has been argued.Moreover, this creation could not have taken place after 1501, the date of the death of Francesco Napoletano, the putative author of the ''Angel in Green''.Nonetheless, a minority of authors strongly postpone the creation of the two panels: in particular, they rely on the hypothesis that Giovanni de Predis drew inspiration for the Angel in Red from Leonardo da Vinci's portrait of Isabella d'Este, which dates from 1499 to 1500.They put the creation date at 1506–1508, i.e.", "during the final production period of the Virgin of the Rocks.=== Creation context and initial commission ===The creation of the ''Angel Musicians'' panels was part of the decoration of a retable, the Altarpiece of the Immaculate Conception, itself the centerpiece of a newly built chapel, between 1475 and 1480, within the Church of San Francesco Grande in Milan.", "In 1482, the woodcarver Giacomo del Maino (before 1469 - 1503 or 1505) delivered a large-scale structure that still had to be decorated.", "Three artists, the brothers Evangelista and Ambrogio de Predis and Leonardo da Vinci.", "were commissioned to gild the timbers and carved parts, and paint the panels.", "Ambrogio was responsible for creating the two panels dedicated to the angel musicians, most certainly under Leonardo's supervision.", "In all probability, these two paintings were intended to frame what would much later be known as the ''Madonna of the Rocks''.", "According to the commission contract, each panel was to feature four angels, some singing, others playing music.", "In the end, however, each panel featured just one angel musician: the angel on the left played the lira da braccio and the one on the right played the lute.=== Sponsor and progress of the works ===Proposed reconstruction of the Altarpiece of the Immaculate Conception (based on works in the National Gallery).The work was commissioned by the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception, a Milanese secular confraternity attached to the church of San Francesco Grande in Milan (Italian: ''San Fransesco Grande''): a contract was signed before a notary on April 25, 1483, between the confraternity on the one hand, and Leonardo da Vinci and the portraitists and miniaturists, the brothers Evangelis and Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis on the other.", "The contractual delivery date for the two panels is the same as for the central panel, the ''Virgin of the Rocks'', i.e.", "December 8, 1483.However, the commissioners were dissatisfied with Leonardo's work, and he was obliged to sell his first production and produce a second one from the early 1490s onwards.", "This raises the question of the identification and dating of the two side panels, since it is highly probable that they met with an identical fate, and that those currently in the National Gallery are not the ones originally painted for the altarpiece.", "Indeed, like the London version of the ''Virgin of the Rocks'', which replaced the one in the Louvre on the altarpiece, they could be the second version of a first one, now lost, and may have been sold to the person who bought the first version of the central panel.", "In any case, these are the two panels we know of, which were exhibited in the altarpiece with the second version of the ''Virgin of the Rocks'' by 1503 at the latest.1781 marked the separation of the works making up the Immaculate Conception altarpiece, as the ''Virgin of the Rocks'' was sold to an English collector: in fact, testimony from 1798 indicates that the ''Angel musicians'' were still in their place in the altarpiece, framing the gap left by Leonardo da Vinci's painting.", "After the creation of the Cisalpine Republic by General Bonaparte, they were sequestered in the \"Religious Fund of the Cisalpine Republic\" (Italian: ''Fondo di religione della Republica Cisalpina'') to be sold in 1802, shortly before his death, to the art collector Giacomo Melzi.", "In 1898, his descendant Giovanni Melzi d'Eril sold them to the National Gallery, where they have remained ever since.=== Modifications and preservation state ===After their creation, both panels underwent modifications in their dimensions: enlargement in length - and repainting accordingly - and, on the contrary, reduction in height.", "In particular, it seems that their upper parts must originally have been arch-shaped, as in the central panel of the ''Vierge of the Rocks''.", "Finally, studies carried out in 1975 have shown that the backgrounds currently appearing as grey niches are repaints: behind the Angel in Green were two masses, one green topped by another bluish, certainly corresponding to a landscape, the frame certainly corresponding to an opening, like an arcade-shaped bay; and the background of the Angel in Red featured a niche whose pinkish color was intended as an imitation of red-brown stone.The panels are in an average state of preservation.", "Indeed, their pictorial surfaces appearing in grey show adhesion problems, as these areas were repainted over a layer of dirty varnish.", "In addition, other areas have suffered from drying complications during their creation, resulting in cracking, particularly in the darker areas and draperies; this is particularly evident on the panel of the ''Angel in Red'', on a large area of repainting corresponding to the sound box of the lute and the figures's arm." ], [ "Creation", "=== Creation process ===Researchers consider that the two painters based their work on the use of an identical model: indeed, the bodies of the two figures are very similar in height, pose and the drapery they bear; more significantly, the right arms and shoulders were superimposed before the angel's arm in red was moved during creation, as shown by scientific imaging analysis.The underlying design of each work indicates the use of two very different techniques, confirming that the works are indeed by two painters: for instance, the creator of the angel in green used a cartoon, a technical process in which the painter transfers his drawing onto the prepared support by pricking it with needles; as for the angel in red, the painter used a grid, visible by reflectography, then reproduced the drawing freehand.X-ray analysis shows that the two paintings were created in two distinct phases: the creation of the figures' bodies, followed by the creation of their heads.", "A comparison of the underlying drawings for the different areas shows that particular attention and meticulousness were paid to the head in each work: the researchers deduce that distinct studies were produced for these areas, without this necessarily implying that these parts are from different hands.Finally, the infrared reflectography analysis carried out by the National Gallery's laboratory reveals a large area of ''pentimento'' on the panel of the ''Angel in Red'': in effect, the lute's sound box and the figure's arm have been off-centered towards the edge of the painting.=== Influences ===Bramante, ''Man with Two-hand Sword'' from the ''Men at Arms'' fresco series, 1486–1487, Milan, Pinacoteca di Brera.As representations of full-length figures set within niches, the Musician Angels are clearly inspired by the angle of view, attitude and situation of the figures in the Men-at-Arms fresco series painted by Bramante just a few years earlier, in 1486–1487.Moreover, the paintings benefit from the strong influence of works by Leonardo da Vinci, particularly the National Gallery's version of the ''Virgin of the Rocks'', as indicated by their style and workmanship, but also by the fact that their figures are more consistent in scale of proportion with those of this second version.", "In fact, both works were most likely created under Leonardo's supervision: the choice of depicting a lira da braccio rather than the more common fiddle may confirm this, the master being described by his biographer Giorgio Vasari in his ''Vite'' as an excellent player of the instrument; the existence of technical defects similar to Leonardo's productions (in particular cracks or agglomerates) would also attest to this.In the case of the ''Angel in Green'', his face and head posture (angle formed by the neck and rotation of the head in relation to the shoulders) are very much in the manner of the Florentine master: they are very close to those of the Virgin in the London version of the ''Virgin of the Rocks''; similarly, they are found in John the Evangelist in ''The Last Supper''.File:Détail Ange en vert du retable de l'Immaculée Conception.png|alt=Painting.", "Head of a figure with bowed face and long blond hair|Detail of the face of the angel in green.File:Leonardo,

authors, the source of inspiration for the portrait of the ''Angel in Red'' may be Leonardo da Vinci's portrait of Isabella d'Este: the same profile view of the face profile, identical shoulder position, similar movement of the mass of hair on the head and shoulders, and the same curved fringe on the angel's forehead echoing the outline of a veil, now invisible on the portrait.", "Finally, the trace of a grid on the preparatory surface of the painting tends to confirm the possibility that the angel's face is a reproduction of an already executed portrait by enlarging the scale, as in the case of Leonardo da Vinci's unfinished painting.", "Nevertheless, this hypothesis would push back the creation date of the angel in red to after 1500, a date that current research tends to invalidate.File:Détail Ange en rouge du retable de l'Immaculée Conception.png|alt=Painting.", "Head of a figure with face in profile facing left|Detail of the angel in red.File:Leonardo da Vinci,

], [ "Analysis", "=== Figure treatment ===Although they most likely benefited from Leonardo da Vinci's assistance, the two painters who created the panels do not stand up to comparison with the master's productions.", "In contrast to those in the ''Virgin of the Rocks'', the two figures are described as \"rigid and angular \", their contours are more pronounced and the drapery of their garments is \"stylized and flat\": there is a clear contrast between the face of the angel in green and that of his model, the Virgin, with its softer, more subtle shadows, confirming in the latter a greater mastery of the sfumato technique.", "In fact, both panels are considered by art critics to be less iconographically innovative than the ''Virgin of the Rocks''.The two figures differ from each other in the colors used, particularly in the rendering of the skin: the tones are warmer in the angel in red than in the angel in green, as the painter is more inclined to use pink-brown and less black than his colleague.=== A representation within the context of a tradition ===File:Niederdeutscher Meister 15 Jh Musizierender Engel 3.jpg|alt=Painting of a winged figure in a niche playing a

illustrious figure from the Bible, such as the Virgin Mary, Mother of God.", "Thus, they appear when they concern Mary in the context of significant events in her life: the Annunciation, the Virgin and Child, the Assumption or the Coronation.", "Among others, the lute and the vielle are privileged instruments, while the lira da braccio is a much rarer instrument.=== The mystery of the mismatched pair ===File:Ange musicien vert selon les couleurs originales.png|alt=Digital reconstruction of a character in a color niche|''An Angel in Green with a Vielle.", "''File:Ange musicien en rouge selon les couleurs originales.png|alt=Digital reconstruction of a character in a color niche|''An Angel in Red with a Lute.", "''Analyses carried out in 1974 and confirmed by a recent study using infrared reflectography show that the panels have undergone a profound change in background colors: the Angel in Green with a vielle featured a green-framed bay window in the background, opening onto a landscape of green and blue colors; as for the Angel in Red with a lute, the background formed a reddish niche, certainly imitating stone.", "However, the works were repainted in gray, probably to
