Author: Baer, Ronni (et al)
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9780878468300
Description: Boston: Museum of Fine Arts, 2015. 28cm., hardcover, 344pp., 185 color illus. Exhibition catalogue. Summary: The Dutch Republic in the 17th century was home to one of the greatest flowerings of painting in the history of Western art. Freed from the constraints of royal and church patronage, artists created a rich outpouring of naturalistic portraits, genre scenes and landscapes that circulated through a newly open market to patrons and customers at every level of Dutch society. Their closely observed details of everyday life offer a wealth of information about the possessions, activities and circumstances that distinguished members of social classes, from the nobility to the urban poor. The dazzling array of paintings gathered here--from artists such as Frans Hals, Jan Steen and Gerrit Dou, as well as Rembrandt and Vermeer--illuminated by essays by leading specialists, invites us to explore a vibrant early modern society and its reflection in a golden age of brilliant painting.
