This study of Dutch seventeenth-century paintings -- allegories,
portraits, still lifes and genre paintings -- recognizes the
subject matter as more than a purely visual one and examines the
works as a cultural manifestation, examining themes and motifs that
are included the works.
De Jongh explores visual traditions, prints, emblems, writings
and folklore and through a realization that there are limits to the
interpretation of visual representations, he also employs
methodological and theoretical issues.
De Jongh wrote these essays over a period of twenty-five years,
A Bird's-Eye View of Erotica and To Instruct and Delight having a
profound effect on art-historical scholarship. All these articles
have now been revised. The introduction has been written especially
for this anthology and many new illustrations have also been
added.
