The Sublime in the Visual Culture of the Seventeenth-Century Dutch Republic

By: Stijn Bussels,Bram Van Oostveldt

Contrary to what Kant believed about the Dutch (and their visual culture) as “being of an orderly and diligent position” and thus having no feeling for the sublime, this book argues that the sublime played an important role in seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture. By looking at different visualizations of exceptional heights, divine presence, political grandeur, extreme violence, and extraordinary artifacts, the authors demonstrate how viewers were confronted with the sublime, which evoked in them a combination of contrasting feelings of awe and fear, attraction and repulsion. In studying seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture through the lens of notions of the sublime, we can move beyond the traditional and still widespread views on Dutch art as the ultimate representation of everyday life and the expression of a prosperous society in terms of calmness, neatness, and order. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, architectural history, and cultural history.

The Theatre de la Monnaie and Theatre Life in the 18th Century Austrian Netherlands

From a Courtly-aristocratic to a Civil-enlightened Discourse?

By: Bram Van Oostveldt

In the Austrian Netherlands, city culture determined social life: the cities' feeling of independence stimulated the realization of a personal interdependence within them and consolidated a new conception of society and its focal point. The court attempted to unite and appease at the same time. Theater supplied the symbols and the rituals which shaped and contributed to the building of a new identity. This book describes this social progress from the point of view of the theater and in doing so offers the first extensive study of the influence of the Brussels' Monnaie Theatre on theatrical life in the Dutch speaking part of the Southern Netherlands.
