The Golden Age of Dutch Painting in Historical Perspective
The Golden Age of Dutch Painting in Historical Perspective
Frans Grijzenhout, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, The Netherlands
Out of Print
This is the first survey of the diverse critical understandings of seventeenth-century Dutch art from its origins to the present. Appreciated in the eighteenth century by amateurs and collectors, Dutch art during the Romantic age became a focus of ideological interest. From the late nineteenth century onward, it developed into a subject of scholarly research, indeed one of the foundational fields of art history in the modern era. This study provides insight into the various artistic, literary, political, and philosophical approaches that Dutch painting has inspired over the ages.
- First survey of this topic ever to appear in field
- Interdisciplinary: combined effort of art historians, historians, and literary historians
