A landmark exploration of the engaging network of relationships
among genre painters of the Dutch Golden Age The genre painting of
the Dutch Golden Age between 1650 and 1675 ranks among the highest
pinnacles of Western European art. The virtuosity of these works,
as this book demonstrates, was achieved in part thanks to a vibrant
artistic rivalry among numerous first-rate genre painters working
in different cities across the Dutch Republic. They drew
inspiration from each other's painting, and then tried to surpass
each other in technical prowess and aesthetic appeal. The Delft
master Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) is now the most renowned of
these painters of everyday life. Though he is frequently portrayed
as an enigmatic figure who worked largely in isolation, the essays
here reveal that Vermeer's subjects, compositions, and figure types
in fact owe much to works by artists from other Dutch cities.
Enlivened with 180 superb illustrations, Vermeer and the Masters of
Genre Painting highlights the relationships - comparative and
competitive - among Vermeer and his contemporaries, including
Gerrit Dou, Gerard ter Borch, Jan Steen, Pieter de Hooch, Gabriel
Metsu, and Frans van Mieris. Published in association with the
