An interdisciplinary study of the central role that the
neighborhood played in seventeenth-century Dutch painting and
culture The neighborhood was a principal organizing structure of
Dutch cities in the seventeenth century, and each had its own
regulations, administrators, social networks, events, and diverse
population of residents. Linda Stone-Ferrier argues that this sense
of community contributed to the steady demand for pictures
portraying aspects of this culture. These paintings, by such
artists as Jan Steen and Pieter de Hooch, reinforced the role and
values of the neighborhood. Through close readings of such works-by
Steen and De Hooch and, among others, Gerrit Dou, Gabriel Metsu,
Jacob van Ruisdael, and Johannes Vermeer-Stone-Ferrier deftly
considers social history, urban studies, anthropology, and women's
studies in this penetrating exploration. Her new interpretations of
seventeenth-century Dutch painting across genres-scenes of streets,
domesticity, professions, and festivity-challenge existing
paradigms in Dutch art history.
