34353X1 First Edition (Unstated. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge: 1996. 274 pages. Softcover. Very good condition. Despite the active tradition of scholarship on Dutch painting of the seventeenth century, scholars continue to grapple with the problem of how the strikingly realistic characteristics of art from this period can be reconciled with its possible meanings. With the advent of methodologies, these debates have gained momentum. Looking at Seventeenth-Century Dutch Art, which includes classic essays as well as contributins especially written for this volume, provides a timely survey of the principle interpretative methods and debates, from their origins in the 1960s to current manifestations, while suggesting potential avenues of inquiry for the future. The book offers fascinating insights into the meaning of Dutch art in its original cultural context as well as into the world of scholarship that it has inspired. Includes an Index.
