RESEARCH AND WRITING COMMISSIONS

For the past ten years, Waldemar H. de Boer has executed art history research in libraries and archives in Berlin, London, Paris, Florence, Venice, Rome and many other Italian and European cities. A perfect knowledge of the Italian language in combination with the know-how of the bureaucratic library systems, serve him well to conduct research in Italy on all fields of specialization, with an emphasis on provenance investigations.

Our expert has contributed articles and entries to the Italian art dictionary La pittura in Europa. Il Dizionario dei Pittori (Milan 2002) and the important art history periodicals Paragone / Arte and Arte Veneta.

His well received PhD. thesis Marco Boschini, I gioieli pittoreschi. Virtuoso ornamento della città di Vicenza (1676). Edizione critica illustrata con annotazioni is now available (visit the online bookshop). This substantial work will enlighten the reader about the high quality of Renaissance and Baroque paintings in Vicenza and will clarify what art treasures have been lost since the 17th century. The publication has recently been presented by the Accademia Olimpica in Vicenza.

Read the reviews in Il Giornale di Vicenza by Roberto Pesavento and Franco Barbieri.
