Abstract

When Aernout van Buchell, a jurist from Utrecht, was in Leiden in 16281 he wrote some notes on a few painters. This was not an extraordinary event in the life of the Utrecht jurist, for he began making notes on works of art and their creators when he was an eighteen year old student at the University of Leiden and he continued this practice until 1639. He probably intended to incorporate some of his notes into a book, Res Pictoriae, which would have been a valuable supplement to Karel van Mander’s Het Schildersboek published in 1604. Van Buchell never published his notes.2
