Description: Rotterdam: NAI, In association with the Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem, 2011. 29cm., pbk., 159pp. illus., 42 color plates. English text. Exhibition catalogue. Summary: After the highly successful Haarlem: The Cradle of the Golden Age exhibition, the Frans Hals Museum is turning its attention to painted festivities from the seventeenth century. Celebrating the Golden Age is the publication that accompanies the eponymous exhibition, a lavish volume that offers a surprising glimpse of people making merry through the eyes of seventeenth-century Dutch masters. Celebrating in the Golden Age allows the reader to become acquainted with a diversity of festivities from the Dutch Golden Age, some of which continue to be celebrated to this day. Parties were an exceptionally popular subject in paintings of the Golden Age, a period when more contemporary festivities were depicted than ever before. Colourful paintings by Jan Steen, Dirck Hals, Jan Miense Molenaar, Frans Hals and others depict infectiously cheerful characters, dressing up and elegant manners, as well as unbridled debauchery and humorous contrasts between poor and rich.
