The Arts: General & Reference
The neighborhood was a principal organizing structure of Dutch cities in the seventeenth century, and each had its own regulations, administrators, social networks, events, and diverse population of residents. Linda Stone-Ferrier argues that this sense of community contributed to the steady demand for pictures portraying aspects of this culture. These paintings, by such artists as Jan Steen and Pieter de Hooch, reinforced the role and values of the neighborhood. Through close readings of such works—by Steen and De Hooch and, among others, Gerrit Dou, Gabriel Metsu, Jacob van Ruisdael, and Johannes Vermeer—Stone-Ferrier deftly considers social history, urban studies, anthropology, and women’s studies in this penetrating exploration. Her new interpretations of seventeenth-century Dutch painting across genres—scenes of streets, domesticity, professions, and festivity—challenge existing paradigms in Dutch art history.

Reviews for The Little Street: The Neighborhood in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Art and Culture

“A work of impressive research and important insight that offers a new and valuable lens through which to understand seventeenth-century Dutch genre paintings.”—Alison M. Kettering, Carleton College “By highlighting the role of the neighborhood—the most local of communities—in structuring early modern Dutch life and values, this book contributes significantly to our understanding of both seventeenth-century Dutch paintings and the culture that produced them.”—H. Perry Chapman, University of Delaware
