Description:

This course examines the extraordinarily rich visual culture that emerged in 17th-century Holland, the first bourgeois capitalist state. The class studies the art of Rembrandt and Vermeer, among others, as it expressed the daily life, desires, and identity of this new society. The course is taught thematically, addressing artistic practice (materials and production, patronage, the art market), aesthetics (realism, style), and social concerns (public and private life, city and rural cultures, national identity, colonialism, domesticity, gender, religion, and the new science).
