The Golden Age of Dutch painting

Types of Painting

A characteristic of the period, compared to earlier European painting, was the small amount of religious painting. Dutch Calvinism prohibits religious painting in churches, and even if biblical subjects were acceptable in private homes, relatively few have been produced. Other classes of history and traditional portrait painting were present, but the period is remarkable for a variety of other genres, sub-divided into many categories specialized, such as scenes of peasant life, landscapes, cityscapes, landscapes with animals, marine paintings, flower paintings and still lifes of various types. The development of several of these types of painting has been strongly influenced by 17th century Dutch artists.
The widespread theory of "hierarchy of genres" in painting, that certain types have been considered more prestigious than others, led many artists want to produce history paintings. However, this was the hardest to sell, as well Rembrandt found. Many been forced to produce portraits and genre scenes, which has sold more easily. In descending order of status in the hierarchy of categories are:
history painting, including religious subjects
Portrait
genre painting, or scenes of everyday life
Landscape (Landscape were the footmen "common in the army of art", according to Samuel van Hoogstraten) and the urban landscape
still life
Paulus Potter the young bull (1647): 3.4 meters wide. An exceptionally monumental painting of animals that challenges the hierarchy of genres.
Dutch concentrated heavily on the lower "grades, but in no case rejected the concept of the hierarchy. Most of the paintings have been relatively low, the only common type of paintings were really great group portraits. Painting directly on the walls barely existed when a wall space in a building necessary public decoration equipped framed canvas was normally used. For additional details as possible on a hard surface of many painters continued to use wood panels, some time after the rest of Western Europe had abandoned, some used copper plates, generally recycling of etching plates. In turn, the number of survivors Golden Age paintings has been reduced by their being repainted with new works by artists at along 18th and 19th century the poor are generally less expensive than a new canvas, Stetch and frame. There were very few sculptures for Dutch period, it is mainly found in the tombs and attached to public buildings, sculptures and small houses are a significant deviation, the square taken by the silver and ceramics. Tiles painted tiles are very cheap and common, though rarely of very high quality, but the money, especially in atrial style, has led Europe. With this exception, all artistic efforts have concentrated on painting and engraving.
The world art
Dirck Hals, genre scenes of smoking and Men Playing Backgammon in an Interior. Note the paintings on the wall of what appears to be a tavern here too.
Foreigners noted the enormous quantities of art and the great fairs where many tables have been sold, was roughly estimated that over 1.3 million Dutch images were painted in 20 years from 1640 only. Volume production means that prices were relatively low, except for the most famous artists, as in most subsequent periods, there was a gradient High Price for more artists to fashion. Those who do not have a strong reputation contemporary or obsolete, which many now considered among the greatest of the era, such as Vermeer, Frans Hals and Rembrandt in his later years, has had huge problems gaining his life and died poor, and many artists have other jobs, art or abandoned entirely. In particular, the French invasion of 1672 (the Rampjaar, or "year of disaster"), caused a severe depression of the art market, which has never completely returned to the heights earlier. Film distribution is very broad: "yes tymes many Blacksmiths, cobblers ETTS. Will have some photos or other by their Forge and in their Stall. Such is the general idea, willing and pleased that these indigenous own country to paint "reported an English traveler in 1640. There were virtually first time many professional art dealers, many important artists such as Vermeer and his father, Jan van Goyen, Willem Kalf. Rembrandt Dealer Hendrick van Uylenburgh and his son Gerrit were among the most important.

The technical quality of Dutch artists were generally very high, still widely depending on system medieval apprenticeship training with a master workshops in general were smaller than Flanders or Italy, with only one or two apprentices both the number often limited by regulations of the guild. The power of the local artists guild of St. Luke has been declining, but remains significant in many places, and new ones have been created in the period. Amsterdam was founded only in 1579, and Gouda, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Delft were all created between 1609 and 1611, with the Leiden guild only coming in 1648. With the obvious exception of portraits, many more pictures Dutch people were made "speculative" without a specific commission, so that was the case in other countries one of many ways which the Dutch art market shows the future.
There were many dynasties of artists, and many girls with their masters or other artists. Many artists are from wealthy families who paid fees for their learning, and they are often married in the property. Rembrandt and Jan Steen are both enrolled at the University of Leiden for some time. Several cities had distinct styles and specialties by topic but Amsterdam was the largest arts center, because of its great wealth.
Aert de Gelder, Self-Portrait as Zeuxis (1685)
Dutch artists were notably less concerned with art theory than in many countries, and less likely to talk about their art, there appears had much less interest in art theory in general, intellectual circles and among the general public that what was then common Italy. Like almost all commissions and sales have been private citizens and between individuals whose accounts have not been kept, they are also less well documented than anywhere else. But the Dutch art has been a source of national pride, and biographers are a major source crucial information. It is Karel van Mander (Het Schilderboeck, 1604), which essentially covers the last century, and Arnold Houbraken (De Groote schouburgh der konstschilders Nederlantsche schilderessen in "The Grand Theatre of Dutch Painters", 171.821). The two followed and even exceeded, in Vasari, including a large number of short lives of more than 500 artists in case Houbraken and both are generally considered accurate elements factual. The German artist Joachim von Sandrart (1606 – 1688) worked for periods in the Netherlands, and Deutsche Akademie in the same format covers many Dutch artists he knew. Houbraken master and pupil of Rembrandt, was Samuel van Hoogstraten (16271678), which Zichtbare wereld Hooge and Inleyding tot der Schilderkonst School (1678) contain more critical than biographical information, and are among the most important treatises on painting the period. Like other works on the theory of Dutch art, they expose many commonplaces of the theory of the Renaissance and are not fully take account of contemporary Dutch art, yet often focused on history painting.
History painting
Jacob van Loo, Dana (compare the treatment of Rembrandt).
This category includes not only paintings depicting historical events of the past, but also tables showing biblical, mythological, literary and allegorical scenes. Recent historical events essentially fall of category, and have been treated realistically, as the appropriate mix of portraits with marine, cityscape or landscape subjects. Grand historical The dramatic and biblical scenes were produced less frequently than in other countries, as there was no local market for art religious, and some aristocrats baroque houses to fill. More than that, the Protestant population of large cities had been exposed to certain uses remarkably hypocritical Mannerist allegory in the Habsburg propaganda fails during the Dutch revolt, which had produced a strong reaction toward realism and a distrust of grand visual rhetoric. History painting was an art "minority", although in a measure has been corrected by this relatively strong interest in the printed version of history topics
More than in other types Painting, Dutch history painters continued to be influenced by Italian painting. Prints and copies of Italian masterpieces and distributed systems has suggested to some composition. The Dutch increasing skill in representing the light were performed on styles from Italy, including that of Caravaggio. Some Dutch painters are also made in Italy, although this was less frequent than their Flemish contemporaries, as can be seen among members of the club Bentvueghels Rome. It should be noted that the most important artists in all Dutch areas, figures such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hals, Steen, Jacob van Ruisdael and others, did not make the trip.
Caravaggio Utrecht: van Baburen Dirck, Christ crowned with thorns, 1623, for a convent in Utrecht, not a market in most of the Netherlands.
At the beginning of the century many Northern Mannerist artists with styles formed in the previous century has continued to work until 1630, in the case of Abraham Bloemaert and Joachim Wtewael. historical paintings have been many small scale, with the German painter (based in Rome) Adam Elsheimer as influential as Caravaggio (both died in 1610) on Dutch painters like Pieter Lastman, the master Rembrandt and Jan and Jacob Pynas. Compared to painting Baroque history of other countries, they shared the emphasis on realism Netherlands, and the franchise story, and are sometimes known as the "Pre-Rembrandtists as first paintings by Rembrandt have been in this style.
Utrecht Caravaggio describes a group of artists who produced the painting history both in general and large genre scenes in a style of Italian influence, often making heavy use of chiaroscuro. Utrecht, before the revolt of the largest city in the new territory of the Netherlands, Dutch is a great city, still about 40% of Catholics in the middle of the century, among the more elite groups, which included many rural nobility and gentry of the town houses there. The great artists have been com Brugghen Hendrick, Gerard van Honthorst and Dirck van Baburen, and the school has been active around 1630, although van Honthorst continued until 1650 as a painter of Court success for the English, Dutch and Danish courts in a more classic style.
Rembrandt began as a history painter before finding the financial success as a portraitist, and he never relinguished its ambitions in this area. Many of his prints are of the narrative of religious scenes, and history of its Commission last story, The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis (in 1661) illustrates both his commitment to the form and the difficulties had to find an audience. Several artists, including many of his students, has attempted with some success to continue his very personal style, Govaert Flinck was the most successful. Gerard de Lairesse (16401711) is another of them, before falling under strong influence of French classicism, and becoming its main sponsor Dutch both as artist and theorist.
Nudity is actually the prerogative of the history painter, although many dressed portrait their occasional bare (almost always women) with a classical way, that Rembrandt did. For all their suggestiveness uninhibited genre painters rarely found more generous cleavage or the portion of the thigh, usually where the prostitutes paint or "Italian" peasants.
Portraits
Bartholomeus van der Heist, Sophia Trip (1645), a member of one of the richest families in Holland.
Frans Hals, Willem Heythuijsen (1634), 47 x 37 cm.
January Mijtens, Family Portrait, 1652, the boys in the "picturesque" dress.
Portrait painting thrived in the Netherlands 17th century, as there was a large merchant class who were much more willing to portraits of the Commission that their counterparts in other countries; A summary of various estimates of the total comes to between 750,000 and 1.1 million profiles. Rembrandt has experienced its greatest period of financial success as a portraitist young Amsterdam, but like other artists, have grown rather bored with painting commissioned portraits of bourgeois: "The Artists travel along this road, without pleasure, "according to Van Mander.
The men dressed in dark clothing and in many cases women sitters, and the feeling that Calvinist the inclusion of accessories, goods or views of the earth in the background show the sin of pride leads to an identity denied in many Dutch portraits, for their technical quality. Even a permanent installation is generally avoided, as a feature film could also express pride. Poses are undemonstrative, particularly for women, although children may be allowed more freedom. The classic moment to have a portrait painted on the marriage, when the new husband and wife often occupied separate windows in a pair of tables. Rembrandt's late portraits of force by the force of characterization, and sometimes a narrative element, but even his early portraits can be daunting mass, as in the room full of "Rembrandt starter donated Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Another great portrait of the period is Frans Hals, whose famous brushstroke and vivid ability to show sitters relaxed and cheerful adds to the excitement, even the most unpromising subjects, although the very "flaunting" of the example the left is exceptional: "No other portrait of this era is so informal. The model was a wealthy textile merchant who had already ordered Hals only individual life business length portrait full years ten years before. In this work, much smaller for a private room, he wears riding clothes.Jan Bray encouraged his models to pose dressed as figures from classical history, but many of his works are of his own family. Thomas de Keyser, Bartholomeus van der Heist, Ferdinand Bol and others, including many listed below the story or genre painters, were doing their best to animate classic works. The portrait, less affected by fashion than other types of paint, is safe passage for Dutch artists.
From what little we know about the procedures studio artists, it seems that, as elsewhere in Europe, drawn face and was probably painted perhaps an initial session or two. The typical number of sessions Extra is not clear – from zero (for Rembrandt full length) and 50 seem documented. The clothes were left in the workshop and could be painted by assistants, or a Master's degree in bought, though, or because they were considered a very important part of painting. Married and never-married women can be distinguished by their dress, emphasizing how few women were unmarried painted, except in family groups. As elsewhere, the accuracy of the shows varies clothing – striped and patterned clothes were worn, but the artists rarely show them, rightly avoid overwork. Lace and Ruff collars were inevitable, and presented a formidable challenge for painters of realism. Rembrandt moved to a more efficient way of lace patterned painting, installation of large Stokes white and then paint the black light to show the model. Another way to do was to paint in white on a black layer, and scrape the white at the end of the brush to show the structure.
At the end of the century there was a way to show sitters in a semi-dress costume, which began in England by Van Dyck in the 1630s, known as "scenic" or "Roman" dress. Aristocratic, and the militias, sitters allowed themselves more freedom in light dress and wide as the parameters of bourgeois and religious affiliations probably affected many performances. At the end of the century aristocratic, or French, values are spreading among the citizens, and representations have been allowed more freedom and display.
A special type of paint, combining elements of portraiture, history and genre painting was the throne. It is usually a half-length of a single figure that focuses on capturing a mood or an unusual expression. The true identity of the model was not important, but they could represent a historical figure and to be exotic or historical costume. Jan Lievens and Rembrandt, including many self-portraits are also thrones (especially those that attack), were among those who developed the genre.
group portraits, mostly Dutch invention have been popular among the general number of civic associations that have been a significant part of Dutch life, such as a city civil guard, the boards and of Regents of guilds and charitable foundations, etc.. Especially in the first half of the century, portraits were very formal and rigid composition. Groups were often seated around a table, each person looking at the viewer. Much attention has been paid to fine details in clothing, and if necessary, furniture and other signs of a person's position in society. Later in the century groups became more intense and brilliant colors.
Scientists often posed with instruments and objects of their study around them. Doctors sometimes ask around a corpse, a lesson called "anatomical" the most famous being the Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp (1632, Mauritshuis, The Hague). Boards preferred an image of austerity and humility, posing in dark clothes (Which, by its refinement reflect their position prominent in society), often around a table, with solemn expressions on their faces. Often, families are represented their luxury homes.
Frans Hals portrait of a group of militia (1633), 3.3 meters wide.
Most group portraits of civil guards (in Dutch: schutterstuk) were commissioned in Haarlem and Amsterdam. Here is the portrait of a favorable image of the force, state or even a spirit of joy. Agreement around a table would give way years later, a more dynamic composition, the most striking example being the famous Rembrandt Militia Captain Frans Banning Cocq Company better known as the Night Watch (1642, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam). In Amsterdam, most of these paintings will ultimately find themselves in possession the city council. Many of them are now exhibited in the Amsterdam Historical Museum.
Often group portraits were paid photographed by each person individually. The amount paid determined the location of each person in the picture, either head to toe in full regalia to the front or the back side only of the group. Sometimes, all members of the group paid a sum equal to what was likely to lead to quarrels when some members gained a more prominent place in the image others.
Scenes of everyday life
A typical image Jan Steen (c. 1663), while the housewife sleeps, the game of households.
genre paintings show scenes that are important figures that no identity requirement can be attached, they are not intended for portraits or historical figures. With landscape painting, the development and the immense popularity of genre painting is the most distinctive feature of Dutch painting of this period, although in this case, they are also very popular in Flemish painting. Many are simple figures, such as Vermeer's Milkmaid above, others may have large social groups with a hand, or crowds. There were a large number of subtypes within the genus: a single digit, family farmers, tavern scenes, "merry company" parties, women in Working around the house, party scenes of village or town (even if they were even more frequent in Flemish painting), market scenes, barracks scenes, scenes with the horses or farm animals in the snow in the moonlight, and much more. In fact, most of them had specific terms in Dutch, but there was no overall Dutch equivalent term "genre painting" until late 18th century the English often called "jokes". Some artists worked primarily in one of these subtypes, especially after about 1625. During the century, genre paintings tend to diminish in size.
Although the genre provide many insights into the daily lives of citizens of the 17th century of all classes, their accuracy can not always be taken for granted. Much that seemed to depict scenes of everyday actually illustrated Dutch proverbs and sayings, or conveyed a moralistic message whose meaning can now be deciphered by the art historians, although some are quite clear. Many artists, and no doubt buyers, certainly tried to do things both ways, enjoying the representation of households or brothel scenes of disorder, while providing a moral interpretation of works by Jan Steen, whose other occupation was an innkeeper, is one example. Balance between these elements is still debated by art historians today. The headings before the paint is often a distinction between "taverns" or "cheap" and "brothel", but in practice it is very often the same institutions, as many taverns had rooms above behind or set aside for sex: "Inn opposite; mess behind" was a Dutch proverb. The Steen is above clearly an exemplum, and although the individual components realistically, it is represented, the scene is hardly a plausible picture of a real time, usually the genre painting, is a situation that is represented, and satire.
Gerrit van Honthorst (1625), visual pun on the lute in the brothel scene.
The Renaissance tradition of books of emblems was dark in the hands of Dutch 17th century almost universally literate in the vernacular, but mostly uneducated in the classics and works transformed into populist sanctimony of Jacob Cats, Roemer Visscher and others, often based in popular proverbs. Illustrations of these are often quoted directly in the paintings, and since the beginning of the 20th century art historians have attached proverbs, sayings and currency to a large number of works by genre. Another popular source of meaning visual puns with the many Dutch slang terms in the sexual domain: the vagina can be represented by a lute (glows) or stocking (Kus), and sex of a bird (vogelen), among many other options, and purely visual symbols such as shoes, spouts, and pitchers and bottles on their side.
The painters often painted the same works in a spirit very different from housewives or other women at rest in home or at work are more likely than similar treatments overwhelmingly men, in fact, the working class men who go about their jobs are the major absent from the golden age of Dutch art, with landscapes populated by passengers and onlookers but rarely land workers. This group of subjects was a Dutch invention, which reflects the cultural concerns of the age, and should be adopted by artists from other countries, especially France, in the next two centuries.
Adriaen van Ostade, peasants in an Interior (1661)
The tradition developed from the realism and the activity detailed background of early Flemish painting, which Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel the Elder were among the first to turn in their major subjects also making use of proverbs. The Haarlem painters Willem Pieterszoon Buytewech, Frans Hals and Esaias van de Velde were important painters at the beginning of the period. Buytewech painted "merry companies" of finely dressed young people, with a moral significance lies in the details. Van de Velde was also important as landscaping, which included scenes figures inglorious very different from those of his genre paintings, usually set at garden parties in country houses. Hals was primarily a portraitist, but also painted figures of such a size portrait of his early career. A stay Haarlem by the Flemish master of the tavern scenes peasant Adriaen Brouwer, from 1625 or 1626 Adriaen van Ostade has about it all along, but he has often adopted a more sentimental. Before Brouwer, peasants were normally represented at the outside he usually shows them in an interior light and dark, but van Ostade is sometimes decrepit farms ostensibly occupy enormous size.
Gabriel Metsu, gift hunter, c. 1660 a study in marital relations with a visual pun.
Van Ostade as likely to paint a single figure as a group, as well as Caravaggio Utrecht their genre works, and one figure or small groups of two or three more common, especially those of women and children. The woman artist most remarkable period, Judith Leyster (16091660), specializes in them before her husband, Jan Miense Molenaar, prevailed upon her to give the painting. School Leiden fijnschilder (fine painters ") were known for small tables and very finished, much of this type. Great artists included Gerard Dou Gabriel Metsu, Frans van Mieris the Elder, and later his son Willem van Mieris, Godfried Schalcken and Adriaen van der Werff.
This latest generation, whose work appears now more refined compared to their predecessors, also painted portraits and stories, and were the most renowned and rewarded Dutch painters at the end of the period, whose works have been sought in Europe. genre paintings reflects the increase prosperity of Dutch society, and settings have steadily increased more comfortable, opulent and thoroughly represented during the century. The artists are not part of the group from Leiden who together have also been more intimate groups included gender Nicolaes Maes, Gerard ter Borch and Pieter de Hooch, whose interest in the light in interior scenes were shared with Jan Vermeer, a figure very long dark, but now the most famous genre painter of all.
Hendrick Avercamp painted almost exclusively winter scenes of crowds.

Landscapes and cityscapes
Esaias van de Velde, Winter Landscape (1623)
Landscape painting is a major genre in the 17th century. Flemish landscapes (particularly from Antwerp) of the 16th century, first served as an example. These were not particularly realistic, especially having been painted in the studio, part of the imagination, and often still using the point of view Semi-air over typical Dutch landscape painting in the tradition of early Joachim Patinir, Herri Met de Bles and Pieter Bruegel the Elder. A more realistic style Dutch developed landscape, seen from ground level, often based on drawings done outdoors, with deeper horizons which has highlighted the often impressive cloud formations that were (and are) so typical in the climate of the region, and cast a special light. Favorite materials are sand dunes along the west coast, rivers with large meadows where cattle grazed nearby, often with the silhouette of a city in the distance. winter landscape with the frozen canals and creeks also abounded. The sea was a favorite subject, and from the Netherlands depended trade, struggled with his new land, and fought over it with competing nations.
important figures in early transition to realism have been Esaias van de Velde (15871630) and Hendrick Avercamp (15851634), both also mentioned above as genre painters in the case of painting Avercamp same tables deserve a mention in each category. From the late 1620s the phase of "tone" of landscape painting began as artists softened or blurred, and concentrated on the effect of the atmosphere, with emphasis given to heaven, and human figures generally absent or small and remote. Compositions based on a diagonal across the image space has become popular, and water often recommended. Great artists were Jan van Goyen (15961656), Salomon van Ruysdael (16021670), Pieter de Molyneux (15951661), and marine paint Simon De Vlieger (16011653), with a host of the characters minors recent study of 75 lists of artists has worked as van Goyen, at least for a period including Cuyp.
Jacob van Ruisdael, mill at Wijk (1670)
Aelbert Cuyp, River Landscape with Riders (c.1655); Cuyp specializes in the twilight of gold in the Dutch media.
Phase of the 1650s "classic" has begun, maintaining the quality of the atmosphere, but with more and more expressive compositions strong contrasts of light and color. The compositions are often anchored by a single "hero tree", windmill or tower, or a ship in marine works. The artist was leading Jacob van Ruisdael (16281682), which produced a large quantity and variety of work, using all subjects typically Dutch, but the Italian landscape (below), on the contrary, it produces a duvet and dramatic landscapes of dark forests pine mountain streams and waterfalls. His pupil was Meindert Hobbema (16381709), better known for its atypical Middelharnis Avenue (1689, London) a departure from his usual scenes of water mills and roads through the woods. Two other artists with more personal style, whose best work included images larger (up to a meter or more in diameter) were Aelbert Cuyp (16201691) and Philips Koninck (16191688). Cuyp made golden light Italian and used in scenes evening with a group of characters in the foreground and behind them a wide river and landscape. works best views are Koninck, from a hill across vast flat farmland, with an immense sky.
Another type of landscape products through the patch and classical phases, has was the romantic Italian, usually in circles over mountains that are found in the Netherlands, a golden light, and sometimes staffage Mediterranean and picturesque ruins. Not all artists who specialized in them had visited Italy. Jan Both D. (1652), which had been Rome and worked with Claude Lorrain, is a leading developer of the sub-genre that influenced the work of many painters of landscapes with parameters Netherlands as Aelbert Cuyp. Other artists who have always worked in the style were Nicolaes Berchem (16201683), Adam Pijnacker. Italianate landscapes were popular engravings, paintings and more Berchem have been reproduced in engravings during the period itself than any other artist.
A many other artists do not fit into one of these groups, particularly Rembrandt, whose relatively few landscape paintings show various influences, some of Hercules Seghers (c.1589 c.1638), its very rare large mountain valley landscape has been developing a very personal style of the 16th century. Aert van der Neer († 1677) painted scenes very small rivers of the night or under ice and snow.
Landscape with animals in the foreground have been a subtype, and were painted by Cuyp, Paulus Potter (16251654), Adriaen van de Velde (16361672) and Karel Dujardin (16261678, farm animals), with horses Philips Wouwermans painting and riders in various environments. The cow was a symbol of prosperity for the Dutch, hitherto neglected in art, and off the horse by far the most commonly found in animals; goats have been used to indicate Italy. Potter's bull is a huge famous portrait and that Napoleon took in Paris (he later returned) even though analysts have noted the livestock from the representation of different parts of the anatomy that appears to be a composite study of six different animals very different ages.
Pieter Jansz Saenredam Assendelft Church, 1649, with the gravestone of his father in the foreground.
Architecture also fascinated the Dutch, the churches in particular. At the beginning of the period of tradition was the main palaces of fantasy and city views invented Northern Mannerist architecture, Flemish painting, which has continued to grow, and the Netherlands was represented by Dirck van Delen. More realism has begun to appear and outside and inside real buildings have been reproduced, but not always accurately. In understanding century of providing proper perspective grew and were enthusiastically applied. Several artists specialized in church interiors. Pieter Jansz Saenredam, whose father Jan Saenredam engraved Mannerist sensual goddesses naked, painted views depopulated already whitewashed Gothic churches of the city. His insistence on the light and geometry, with little representation of surface textures, is highlighted by comparing his works with those of Emmanuel de Witte, who has left the people, uneven floors, contrasts of light and space of the church furniture remaining in the reformed churches, all the most often ignored by Saenredam. Gerard Houckgeest, followed by van Witte and Hendrick van Vliet, completed the vision traditional view of a main axis with the church for diagonal added drama and interest. Gerrit Berckheyde specialized in views of the sparsely populated streets of the main town square and the main public buildings, Jan van der Heyden favorite scenes from the most intimate Quiet street in Amsterdam, often with trees and canals. These views have been real, but he did not hesitate to adjust for an effect composition.

Marine Paint
Salomon van Ruysdael, a typical view seen Deventer Northwest (1657), an example of phase "tone".
The Dutch Republic relied on maritime trade for its exceptional wealth, had a naval war with Great Britain and other countries during the period, and was crisscrossed by rivers and canals. It is therefore not surprising that the kind of sea painting was very popular, and leads to new heights in the period of Dutch artists, like landscapes, moving the point of view typical artificial high of marine painting was formerly a crucial step. Pictures of sea battles told the story of the Dutch navy at the height of his fame, but today it is generally quieter scenes that are highly valued.
In most cases, even small vessels flying the Dutch tricolor, and many vessels can be identified as the Navy or any of many other government ships. Many photos included land, with a range or point harbor view or a view of the estuary. Other artists featuring scenes of the river, the small picture of Salomon van Ruysdael with small boats and reed banks in the Italian major Aelbert Cuyp landscape, where the sun is usually placed on a large river. The kind of course shares a lot with landscape painting, and in the development of representation of the sky, the two go hand in hand, many artists also painted landscape scenes beach and river. Artists included Jan Porcellis, Simon de Vlieger, Abraham Storck. Willem van de Velde the Elder and his son are the masters of decades later, is, at the beginning of the century, to bring the ship is the subject, while in tonal works of the previous decades the emphasis has been placed on the sea and the weather. They left for London in 1672, leaving the master of the heavy seas of German origin Ludolf Bakhuizen, as the artist foreground.
Lifes
Pieter Claesz, Vanitas (1630)
The still lifes are an excellent opportunity to show his ability to paint textures and surfaces in great detail and with realistic lighting effects. Food of all kinds put on a table covered in silver, intricate and subtle in the folds of tablecloths and flowers all painters challenged.
Several types of objects have been recognized: banketje parts were "banquet" ontbijtjes simple pieces breakfast. Practically all still lifes have a moralistic message, usually on the brevity of life is what called vanitas theme implicit even in the absence of an obvious symbol like a skull, or less obvious that one of these half-peeled lemon (Such as life, fresh appearance, but bitter to taste). Flowers and disintegrations you food and money is of no use to the soul. Nevertheless, the strength of this message seems less powerful in the more developed parts of the second half of the century.
Abraham van BEYEREN (1667); "ostentatious" Still Life with a mouse over the knife.
Initially, the objects presented were almost always trite, but from the middle of the century pronkstilleven ("Ostentatious dead"), showing expensive items and exotic, became more popular. The realistic at first, tonal classical phases of landscape painting counterparts in painting was dead. Willem Heda Claeszoon (1595. 1680) and Willem Kalf (16191693) has allowed the modification of the pronkstilleven, while Pieter Claesz († 1660) simply preferred to paint "ontbijt (breakfast pieces") or explicit vanitas pieces. In all these artists, the colors are often very muted with browns dominate, especially in the middle of the century. This is less true of works of Jan de Heem Davidszoon (16061684), an important figure who has spent much of his career in terms of the border to Antwerp. Here's the poster began to spread laterally to form the scale oblong pictures, unusual in the north, although sometimes more Heda painted vertical compositions. still life painters are especially likely to form dynasties it seems: there were many Heems and Bosschaerts, Heda son continued in the style of his father, and Claesz was the father of Nicholaes Berchem.
flower paintings form a sub-group with its own specialists, and have sometimes been the specialty of the few women artists, such as Maria van Oosterwyck and Rachel Ruysch, Dutch also leads the world in botanical and other scientific drawings, engravings and book illustrations. Despite the intense realism of individual flowers, paintings were composed from individual studies or even book illustrations, and the proliferation of very different seasons have been systematically included in the same composition and the same flowers reappear in different works, such as pieces of dishes do. There were a fundamental unreality bouquets of flowers in the vases were in fact not at all common in the houses at the time of the rich flowers displayed, one by one tiled tulip-holders.
Jacob Gillig, freshwater fish (1684)
The Dutch tradition was largely started by Ambrosius Bosschaert (15731621), a flower painter of Flemish origin who had settled in the north by the beginning of the period, and founded a dynasty. Its brother-brother Balthasar van der Ast († 1657) pioneer of still lifes of shells, painting flowers, as well. This early work was relatively well illuminated with bouquets of flowers arranged relatively simple. Plan by mid-century so-called rightly be Baroque usually on a black background, has become more popular, illustrated by the works of Willem van Aelst (16271683).
Painters of Leiden, The Hague, Amsterdam and in particular excelled in the genre. game Dead, and painted birds live, but has studied the dead, were another sub-genre, like dead fish, a staple Dutch diet Abraham van Beijeren a lot of these. The Dutch were less likely to Flemish style of combining elements of large still lifes with other types of paint, they were considered arrogant in the usual portrait and Flemish specialist painters working on different elements in the same work. But what has happened sometimes Wouwermans Philips has sometimes been used to add men horses and transform a landscape into a game or battle scene, Berchem Adriaen van de Velde to add people or livestock.
Willem van Aelst, Nature Life with a watch (c.1665), with typical black background.
Willem Heda Claeszoon, Breakfast Table with Blackberry Pie (1631); Heda was famous for his representation reflective surfaces.
Jan de Heem Davidszoon, Vanitas (1629)
January Weenix, Still Life with a Dead Peacock (1692), in the gardens of a large house.
abroad
Frans Post, the scene in Dutch Brazil, painted in 1662, several years after the colony was lost.
Many Dutch (and Flemish) painters worked abroad or exported from their work; engraving is also an important market export, in which Rembrandt became known throughout Europe. Dutch donation of Charles II of England was a diplomatic gift included four contemporary Dutch paintings. English painting was heavily dependent on Dutch painters, with Sir Peter Lely, Sir Godfrey Kneller followed by the development of English-style portrait drawn by Anthony van Dyck Flemish, before the English Civil War. Navy painters van der Velde, father and son were among several artists who have emigrated from Holland to the French invasion of 1672, which has a collapse of the art market. They also moved London, and the beginnings of English landscape painting has been established by several less distinguished Dutch painters like Hendrick Danckerts. The Bamboccianti a former colony of Dutch artists who introduced the genre in Italy. January Weenix Hondecoeter Melchior and specialized in game and birds, dead or alive, and are in demand of a country house and shooting over the Lodge in Northern Europe. Frans Post, a landscaper, and Albert Eckhout, a painter still lifes, which also turned his hand figures natives were sent to the short life of Dutch Brazil, the largest Dutch East Indies were much less well covered artistically.
After reputation
Philips Wouwermans, Travelers waiting for a Ferry (1649), a landscape with the culmination of the mark Wouverman a white horse.
The enormous success of the 17th century Dutch painting mastered the work of subsequent generations, and no Dutch painter of centuryor 18 without doubt one of those well known in the 19th century outside the Netherlands. Already at the end of the artists complained that buyers were more interested in death than living artists.
If only because of the enormous quantities produced, Dutch Golden Age Painting has always been an important part of collections of paintings by masters old, itself a term coined to describe the 18th century Dutch Golden Age artists. Taking Wouwermans than in the old royal collections, More than 60 in Dresden and over 50 at the Hermitage. But the reputation of the period has shown many changes and policy changes. One factor has been roughly constant admiration for Rembrandt, especially since the Romantic period. Other artists have shown drastic changes the critical success and market price at the end of the period of a few of Leiden fijnschilders force had huge reputation, but from the realist mid-19th century works in different genres have been much appreciated. Vermeer was rescued from almost total darkness at 19th century, by which time several of his works have been reallocated to others. However, the fact that so many of its works were already in large collections, often attributed to other artists, shows that the quality of individual arrays was recognized even if the collective work was unknown. Other artists have continued to be saved from the mass of small well-known artists: the late and very simple still lifes by Adriaen Coorte in the 1950s, and landscapers Jacobus Mancaden and Frans Post at the beginning of the century.
Gerard ter Borch, paternal admonition, or brothel scene (c. 1654 version of Amsterdam).
genre paintings have long been popular, but little consideration. Sir Joshua Reynolds, the leader English academic art of the 18th century, has made several revealing comments on Dutch art. He was impressed by quality of Vermeer's Milkmaid (shown earlier in this article), and the lively portraits of Hals, regretting that he had no patience "To finish them properly, and regretted that Steen was not born in Italy and trained by the High Renaissance, and his talent could have better use. In times of Reynold moralistic aspect of the genre painting was no longer understood, even in the Netherlands, the famous example is the so-called paternal warning, as it was then called, by Gerard ter Borch. This has been hailed by Goethe and others for the delicacy of his expression of a father reprimanding his daughter. In fact, for most (but not all scientists) modern, there is a proposal scene in a brothel, there are two versions (Berlin and Amsterdam) and it is difficult to know if a coin "witness" in the hand of man has been removed or repainted in any case.
In the second half 18th-century realism to the land of Dutch painting was a foretaste "Whig" in England and France related to Enlightenment rationalism and aspirations of political reform. In the 19th century, with almost universal respect for more realism, and the ultimate decline of the hierarchy of genres, contemporary artists began to borrow from genre painters both their realism and their use of objects of narration purposes, and paint similar subjects themselves, with all kinds Dutch pioneered listed on canvas much larger (except still lifes).
In landscape painting, the Italian artists were the most influential and most respected in the 18th century, John Constable, but were among the Romantics who denounced artificial, preferring tones and classic artists. In fact, the two groups remained influential and popular the 19th century.
