- Summary:
- "The still-life paintings of the Dutch Golden Age depict tables richly laid with products from the far corners of the earth, products attesting to the vast scope of the Dutch trade network. These pictures reveal much more about Dutch society and capitalist culture of the seventeenth century than has been previously understood, says the author of this book. Julie Berger Hochstrasser explores for the first time the significance of various foods and commodities rendered on canvas during the Dutch Republic's phenomenal rise to prosperity."--BOOK JACKET.
