Mischief: Rembrandt's 'Night Watch' and Other Dutch Group
Portraits is an in-depth study of the theory and practice of
seventeenth-century Dutch group portraits. Illustrated with
black-and-white representations of classic Dutch paintings, as well as a
handful of inset color plates, Manhood, Marriage, and Mischief examines
what the portraits have to say given the context of their times. In
particular, since a number of the group portraits are of militia
members, Manhood, Marriage, and Mischief delves into what the portraits
reveal of Dutch militias--and what they conceal or fancify. Chapters
discuss "Male Bondage and the Military Imperative",
"Picturing Family Values family valuespl.n. The moral and social values traditionally maintained and affirmed within a family. ", "Disaggregation dis·ag·gre·ga·tion n. 1. A breaking up into component parts. 2. An inability to coordinate various sensations and a failure to observe their mutual relations. as Class Conflict" and much more. Especial es·pe·cial adj. 1. Of special importance or significance; exceptional: an occasion of especial joy. 2. focus is placed upon the subtexts and subtleties of Rembrandt's enduring painting 'Night Watch', in this thoughtful and expressive critique. |
