Romanism
(redirected from Romanists)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Romanism 

a school of 16th-century Netherlandish art. Representatives of the movement included the following painters and engravers: Jan Gossaert (the founder of romanism), Barnaert van Orley, Maerten van Heemskerck, Jan van Scorel, Frans Floris, and Lucas van Leyden.

Influenced by the art of the Italian Renaissance, the roman-ists used subjects (classical mythology, nudes) and renderings of anatomy and perspective that were new to Netherlandish art. They strengthened humanist tendencies in art but, unable to combine Italian Renaissance and Old Dutch traditions organically, often succumbed to eclecticism.

The author correctly dismisses the notion that Bruegel's art was diametrically opposed to Italianate trends in the Netherlands, pointing to the painter's interest in the earlier generation of Romanists such as his teacher and father-in-law, Pieter Coecke van Aelst.
For a discussion of interiority and exteriority and scaffold confessions, see Maus, 11; and Peter Lake and Michael Questier, "Agency, Appropriation and Rhetoric Under the Gallows: Puritans, Romanists and the State in Early Modern England," Past and Present 153 (1996): 64-107.
More important, Linker fails to make the case that a tiny band of ultra-orthodox Catholics is secretly running the country; on the contrary, he comes off like a pamphleteer of the ROMANISTS RULE THE WORLD or JEWS CONTROL THE AMERICAN MEDIA variety.
