In the mid- to late seventeenth century, a number of Dutch painters
created a new type of refined genre painting that was much admired
by elite collectors. In this book, Angela Ho uses the examples of
Gerrit Dou, Gerard ter Borch, and Frans van Mieris to show how this
group of artists made creative use of repetition-such as crafting
virtuosic, self-referential compositions around signature motifs,
or engaging esteemed predecessors in a competitive dialogue through
emulation-to project a distinctive artistic personality. The
resulting paintings enabled purchasers and viewers to exercise
their connoisseurial eye and claim membership in an exclusive
circle of sophisticated enthusiasts-making creative repetition a
successful strategy for both artists and viewers.
