The Almshouse of Occo at Amsterdam is a charitable institution, which has been founded in the 18th century. The institution was established from the legacy of the rich Roman Catholic businesswoman Cornelia Elisabeth Occo. She desired that after her death a building of charity would be built to lodge 33 poor, Roman Catholic widows or unattached women of 50 years and older gratuitously, with medical care included.
The first foundation stone laying of the, at the time relative luxurious, building (mostly private rooms) took place in 1774. Four years later the first inhabitants moved...

About 1700 a sober noble man's house called 'Hackfort' was built on the place of a ruinous castle surrounded by a canal in the province of Gelderland near Barneveld. The house and property probably owed this name to the scenery. In the 17th century the country seat was known as 'De Schaffelaar' by a supposed relationship with the hero Jan van Schaffelaar, who leapt from the tower in Barneveld during the so-called 'Hoekse and Kabeljauwse twisten' (quarrels) in 1482. In 1767 one started the building of a house in Louis-XVI style on the same location.
Between 1767 and 1793 a garden...

In Veenhuizen at Norg in the province Drenthe the Society founded a colony for exploitation. Soon the ideal did not prove to be equal to hard reality. In 1859 the...

The interior of the Church of St. Franciscus Xaverius or De Krijtberg at Amsterdam (built in 1880-1883 by Alfred Tepe) has remained intact completely. This neo-gothic church was restored in 1979-1990. The polychromy, to which this article is dedicated, still waits for restoration. In 1886 the provisional painting of the sanctuary and of both side-chapels took place. In 1889 the rest of the church was painted in a provisional way.
In 1892-'93 the definitive painting of sanctuary and side-chapels was carried out after the design of Friedrich Wilhelm (1837-1919). At the same time...

The article focuses on architectural iconography, which is at the core of Aart Mekking's inaugural address delivered at Leiden University. During the fifties this specialism gained popularity through the work of Günter Bandmann. Since then it has been limited by and large to the German-speaking world.
Most studies in the field relate to Romanesque architecture. This may be due to the fact that here the separate parts of a building have a meaning in themselves, whereas in Gothic the concept of the building as a whole predominates, calling for an all-encompassing iconographical...
