About the Event

Art must be placed within its historic context; this first lecture will examine Dutch economic, political, and religious factors in a search for clues to explain how such artistic genius flourished in this time and place. An overarching factor is 17th century Holland’s uniqueness within the European experience. It becomes the first Protestant nation, and its long, ultimately victorious war of independence from Spain frees the Dutch from the only power structures Europe had ever known—King and Church. Power now comes from Holland’s maritime empire and spreads laterally to a solid middle class that reaps immense riches–a wealth that was funneled into art patronage. (There were more artists than bakers in mid-century Amsterdam.)
