A special group of loans from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, will afford visitors to The San Diego Museum of Art an extraordinary view of Dutch society and artistic traditions in the 17th century. By 1600, the Dutch Republic had begun to emerge as an international economic powerhouse. A seafaring nation, albeit a geographically tiny one, the Netherlands was a self-governing republic consisting of the seven northern provinces that had joined in successful revolt against Spanish rule. While not entirely democratic in modern terms, the new Dutch system featured a far greater degree of local autonomy than the established European model of absolute monarchy. The Dutch economy was plugged into the major trade routes connecting Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa, through its Dutch East India Corporation (founded 1602). While fostering a liberal economy and social tolerance at home, the Republic also participated in colonial expansion and the transatlantic trade of enslaved peoples. With neither a royal court nor a state church in need of images (Catholicism had been banned in the Netherlands in 1581 in favor of the Protestant Reformed Church), patronage of the arts shifted to the merchant class, whose new wealth was poured into imported luxury goods and secular paintings. Such highly detailed pictures (still life, interiors, landscapes, and portraits) were small enough to illuminate the lived interiors of Dutch townhouses, filling domestic life with order, beauty, color, and signs of prosperity. The exquisite paintings from the world-renowned Dutch holdings of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, were aspirational “mirrors of nature,” reflecting ideal values of everyday life in the Netherlands, and its place in a rapidly globalizing world.
