Robert Koch was a professor emeritus of art at Princeton. In 1942, Koch earned a master's degree from the University of North Carolina. After Army service from 1942 to 1946, he earned in 1954 a Ph.D. in art from Princeton. He started at Princeton in 1948 as a teaching assistant, and in 1949 he became anassistant director of Princeton University Art Museum. Koch became an assistant professor in 1955 and in 1966 was promoted to full professor. He remained as assistant director of the art museum until 1962, and then was faculty curator of prints. He retired in 1990. A scholar of Northern Renaissance art, Koch received a Fulbright grant in 1956 for study in Belgium, and in 1961 won a grant from the American Council of Learned Societies. He authored several books. As described in Princeton Alumni Weekly's June 2, 2010, article "When Art Historians Went to War," more than a dozen Princetonians helped locate and return Nazi-confiscated art works for the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives Service. Koch was one of these "Monuments Men," the last surviving Princetonian among them. In this collection honoring Robert A. Koch, Professor Emeritus at Princeton University, eight of his former students employ a variety of methods to investigate topics in Northern Renaissance art and society. Drawing on approaches as disparate as archival research and mycology, these papers reflect the richly varied modes of inquiry currently being pursued in Northern Renaissance studies. Cryptic iconography is unveiled by Gregory Clark, who examines sinister plant symbolism in Bosch, and by Charles Minott, who detects significant patterns in the painted and carved scenes of the Baerze-Broederlam altarpiece. Lynn Jacobs draws on contemporary documents to construct a detailed account of the commissioning of Early Netherlandish carved altarpieces, while David Farmer provides a wide-ranging study of evolving workshop practices in the atelier of Bernard van Orley. Images with both theological and social implications are the subjects of Craig Harbison's reading of the sexuality of Christ in a print by Burgkmair, and of Dorothy Limouze's study of the reception of prints by Jan Sadeler and Joos van Winghe in Catholic and Protestant milieus. John Hand introduces a Saint Jerome in His Study, attributing it to Joos van Cleve and placing it in the broader context of van Cleve's images of Jerome; and the late Burr Wallen investigates the meaning and influence of the concepts of gloire and vaine gloire within the Burgundian chivalric ethos.
