Description
Dutch Art in a Global Age explores the significant impact of global trade networks on 17th-century Dutch life and art. During this period, the Dutch Republic's growth as an economic world power fueled a vibrant economy that influenced artists' work in various ways. The genre scenes and still lifes that are characteristic of Dutch art from this era often reflect the positive and negative aspects of economic and global expansion. This book offers a fresh perspective on 17th-century Dutch art, drawing on the renowned collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It features authoritative essays that consider the global context in which these works were created. The book showcases the work of prominent artists from this period, including Rembrandt van Rijn, Jacob van Ruisdael, and Johannes Vermeer, among others.
