Book written in conjunction with, and as an in-depth addition to the 1998-99 exhibition of the same name which exhibited at the Dulwich Picture Gallery and the Wadsworth Antheneum. "Pieter de Hooch, one of the most famous and innovative artists of Holland's Golden Age, played a pioneering role in the Delft School and in the advancement of genre painting and naturalism in the seventeenth century. Best known for his expressive use of interior space and sun-filled courtyards, de Hooch's command of perspective and responsiveness to light and atmosphere were unprecedented, and his work undoubtedly influenced his younger but more famous colleague Vermeer. This beautiful book examines de Hooch's position in Dutch genre painting and the social and political context of his art in the United Netherlands. It also addresses the artists's favored themes-in particular the virtue of domesticity-and relates them to Dutch civilization, literature, and the history of the family in the Protestant republic." 183 pages. The rather large size and weight of the book requires additional shipping will be required for out-of-U.S. shipment.
