Dutch Baroque
1600-1700
Protestant Reformation
• Before the Reformation, 90% of Dutch art was
religious in content
• Afterwards, this flipped to only 10%!
– This led to the development of brand-new secular
genres of painting…
Popular New Genres!
• Portraiture (Paintings of people [this one
isn’t new, but it becomes more popular
than ever])
• Genre Paintings (Scenes of daily life)
• Landscape (Images of nature)
• Architecture (Church Interiors, etc.)
• Still Life (Arrangements of inanimate
objects)
New Genres
• Throughout Unit 2, think about how these
new genres can convey a subtle spiritual
message without overt religious subject
matter.

Rachel Ruysch

Jan Vermeer

1664
Genre Scene
Camera Obscura
A box with a lens and mirror. Predecessor of the modern camera. Did not produce a
print or fixed image but allowed user to trace images in real time on a flat surface. MAY
have been used by Vermeer and others to create convincing sense of perspective (but
there is no solid proof).
Vermeer
The Lacemaker
1665-1670
Rembrandt van Rijn
Self-Portrait
1628
Rembrandt is a true innovator. Each of
his paintings is a fresh, lively take on an
existing genre. Notice how he reverses
tenebrism here and plays with
experimental textures.
Rembrandt, Tronie, 1659
Rembrandt
Self-Portrait
1668
He paints himself as an
artist rather than a
nobleman to advance the
image of his career (which
was not as well respected in
the north).
Rembrandt, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp, 1632
A straightforward group portrait becomes a genre painting in Rembrandt’s capable hands.
See also The Night Watch (next slide).
Rembrandt, Captain Frans Banning Cocq Mustering His Troops
(The Nightwatch), 1640
Rembrandt, Three Crosses, 1663, first state
Rembrandt, Three Crosses, 1663, fourth state
Flemish Baroque
1600-1700
Characteristics of Flemish Art
• Heavily influenced by Italian Baroque
and Renaissance ideals
– Flanders remains Catholic
– Peter Paul Rubens studied in Italy
• Also heavily influenced by Northern tradition of depicting details
of daily life
Look for elements of both!
Rubens, Raising of the Cross, 1610
Van Dyck
Charles I at the Hunt
1635
