ARTH 257 - Dutch Arts, Patrons, and Markets


FDR: HA
Credits: 3

During the 17th century, the practices of making and buying art boomed as never before in the Dutch Republic. With the creation of the first large-scale open art market, prosperous Dutch merchants, artisans, and civil servants bought paintings and prints in unprecedented numbers.

Portraiture also flourished in this prosperous atmosphere. Lepage.
