Rembrandt, Vermeer, and the Gift in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Art
offers a new perspective on the art of the Dutch Golden Age by
exploring the interaction between the gift's symbolic economy of
reciprocity and obligation and the artistic culture of early modern
Holland. Gifts of art were pervasive in seventeenth-century Europe,
and many Dutch artists, like their counterparts elsewhere, embraced
gift giving to cultivate relations with patrons, art lovers, and
other members of their social networks. Rembrandt also created
distinctive works to function within a context of gift exchange,
and both Rembrandt and Vermeer engaged the ethics of the gift to
identify their creative labor as motivated by what contemporaries
called a "love of art," not materialistic gain. In the merchant
republic's vibrant market for art, networks of gift relations and
the anti-economic rhetoric of the gift mingled with the growing
dimension of commerce, revealing a unique chapter in the
interconnected history of gift giving and art making.
