Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | "The seventeenth century has long been considered a "golden age" for Dutch art, fueled by the Dutch Republic's growth as an economic world power. Nourished by an innovative stock market and burgeoning global trade network, this vibrant economy not only provided artists with a rich context in which to make their art, but also directly influenced the art itself--in its subject matter, materials, meaning, and interpretation. The genre scenes and still lifes that today seem quintessentially Dutch actually project a global vision, and often address the positive and the negative of economic and global expansion. Drawing on the world-renowned collection of Dutch paintings, works on paper, decorative arts, and illustrated books at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, this book offers a fresh look at seventeenth-century Dutch art, accompanied by authoritative essays that ask readers to consider the global context in which this work was made." -- Publisher's website "Dutch art in a global age" is a book that accompanied an exhibition touring the U.S.A. from September 2023 until July 2024. The show drew on the collections of Dutch art of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston and Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo, much of which is a promised gift to the MFA.[1] Slightly confusingly, the book is not an exhibition catalogue. Instead, seven relatively short and accessible essays are followed by shorter texts on remarkable objects that are related to the topic of these essays. There is a list of illustrations, but not of the exhibited works, and not every illustrated object is featured in the exhibition. This might also cause some confusion as to the function of some illustrations in the book. For instance, Rembrandt van Rijn’s (1606-1669) Two African men (1661) never leaves the Mauritshuis (and was therefore not on display in the U.S.A.), but it plays an important role in the essay about images of the Dutch population (p. 119). Meanwhile Pieter de Hooch’s (1629 – in or after 1679) Interior with two women and a child (fig. 1) was shown at the exhibition, but is it really the right example to illustrate the use of porcelain in Dutch households (p. 45)? In any case, the well-designed book that is the subject of this review, contains excellent reproductions, wonderful details, and two useful maps. It seems to have been written for a wider audience with an interest in Dutch art. Yet it is relevant for a more scholarly audience as well. Notes are kept to a minimum and there is no complete bibliography, but, instead, a shortlist of essential literature is made available. The book’s aim is to explore the impact of the Dutch republic’s new, global engagement on the production and consumption of art (...)
