Abstract (en)

Studies the development of the portrait in 17th c. Dutch painting, noting a dichotomy that emerges (through the introduction of narrative) between the rhetorical norms inherited from (aristocratic) Renaissance portraiture and the fabric of (middle class) private life and the private self. Examples include group, family, and marriage portraits, and works of Hals, Rembrandt, and de Hooch.
