Biographical / Historical Note
In 1974, the J. Paul Getty Museum began assembling a "photo library" by consolidating the
visual resources of each existing curatorial department. By the early 1980s, the Photo
Archive was actively acquiring large collections of photographs from commercial and private
sources and scholars' archives that contained a photographic component. In 1983, the nearly
one million photographs of the Photo Archive were incorporated into the Research Institute's
Special Collections and renamed the Photo Study Collection.
Scope and Content of Collection
A collection of photographs covering Netherlandish (Dutch and Flemish) paintings and
drawings of the 14th through 16th centuries assembled by the Getty Research Institute. The
collection documents the work of some 454 artists; those most heavily represented include:
Hieronymus Bosch, Dierick Bouts, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Robert Campin, Joos van Cleve,
Jan van Eyck, Hugo van der Goes, Hendrick Goltzius, Jan Gossaert, Marten van Heemskerck,
Adriaen Isenbrant, Quentin Massys, Hans Memling, Anthonis Mor, Bernart van Orley, Jan van
Scorel, and Rogier van der Weyden.
The collection contains photographs from a number of sources, including the archives of
scholars and restorers such as J.G. van Gelder, Ludwig Goldscheider, Erwin Panofsky,
Giannino Marchig, and Mauro Pellicioli. Photographs and auction clippings were acquired from
the archives of dealers, including Douwes Fine Art Gallery, Duits, de Boer, and David
Koetser. Copy prints were obtained from commercial photographers such as Fratelli Alinari
(including the Brogi archive), Photographie Giraudon, Böhm, Bulloz, and Bruckmann, as well
as from Christie's, Sotheby's and a number of museums, notably the Metropolitan Museum of
Art, the Prado, the Rijksmuseum, and Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum. Relevant duplicate
images from the repository's archive of the Hoefle firm (Special Collections accn. no.
90.R.19) have been integrated into the collection.
