'Let the balance be just and the weights equal': Quentin Matsys's Moneychanger and his Wife in 1514

Joanna has published widely in Art History, the Berliner Jahrbuch, the Leids Kunsthistorisch Jaarboek and the Nederlands Kunsthistorisch Jaarboek. Her edited book, Portraiture: Facing the Subject (Manchester University Press, 1997), has become a standard work on the subject and in 2007 she published a major monograph, Antonis Mor. Art and Authority (Waanders), that uses this sixteenth-century, internationally renowned portrait specialist to explore a period of extraordinary change, involving both opportunities and dangers. Her most recent publication is ‘Laying the Table. The Procedures of Still Life.’ in Art History 2012: Dutch Art and the Erotics of Interpretation, edited by Bronwen Wilson and Angela Vanhaelen.

This paper is linked to Professor Woodall's work with the NWO project ‘Trading Values. Cultural Translation in Early Modern Antwerp’, for which she is working on the relationship between money and virtue.  You can read more here.
