Contrary to what Kant believed about the Dutch (and their visual
culture) as “being of an orderly and diligent position” and
thus having no feeling for the sublime, this book argues that the
sublime played an important role in seventeenth-century Dutch
visual culture. By looking at different visualizations of
exceptional heights, divine presence, political grandeur, extreme
violence, and extraordinary artifacts, the authors demonstrate how
viewers were confronted with the sublime, which evoked in them a
combination of contrasting feelings of awe and fear, attraction and
repulsion. In studying seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture
through the lens of notions of the sublime, we can move beyond the
traditional and still widespread views on Dutch art as the ultimate
representation of everyday life and the expression of a prosperous
society in terms of calmness, neatness, and order. The book will be
of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture,
architectural history, and cultural history.
