Zusammenfassung:	While Frisian polymath Titia Brongersma (ca. 1650-ca. 1700) has recently been rediscovered by literary scholars, she has never been considered from an art historical perspective. This essay repositions Brongersma in the context of her rich creative practice through the lens of her intersecting circles of friends and colleagues in poetry, art, and antiquarianism. Brongersma has long been known as a pioneering figure within the archeological field because of her unearthing of a prehistoric tomb in 1685, one of the earliest excavations of native ruins in the Netherlands. She also painted, drew, sculpted, wrote poetry, and collected art, all of which she recorded in her only known publication De bron-swaan (The Swan at the Wellspring, 1686). Throughout her endeavors, Brongersma relied on her male and female friends to position herself as an artist and intellectual and this article provides a view into the generative process of mutual support and validation in late seventeenth-century friendships.
