Items related to A Moral Compass: Seventeenth and Eighteenth-century...
Painting in the Netherlands during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries offers a compelling visual record of the tastes and values of a prosperous society mindful of its obligation to personal and public standards. This richly illustrated volume examines twenty-six paintings by master artists from this Golden Age of Dutch art and features essays by leading scholars who explore the various interpretations of these works within the context of their culture.
A Moral Compass, published in conjunction with an exhibition organized by the Grand Rapids Art Museum, includes individual descriptive entries on each work and artist by Henry Luttikhuizen, guest curator, an introduction by Peter Sutton and essays by Arthur Wheelock, Jr., Lawrence Goedde, and Mariët Westermann. These distinguished curators and art historians provide their insights on the artistic achievement of the Netherlands during an extraordinary period of maritime dominance, material affluence, and moral purpose.

Dutch art has been rediscovered in the past few decades. We have come to realize that it is neither simple genre painting nor visual preaching; instead, Dutch artists struck a balance between representing daily life and providing guidance for a relationship to God and to other men. These artists took pride in the subtleties of their work as well as its technical bravado. Arthur K. Wheelock, Lawrence O. Goedde, Mari?t Westermann, Henry M. Luttikhuizen, and Peter C. SuttonAall leaders in the field of Dutch artAcontributed to this catalog, which appears in conjunction with an exhibition at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. Built into the era's belief system was a hint of the Divine in everyday life; the Dutch saw allegory in the tangible world that illuminated the moral nature of societyAa theme traced here through the works of some famous and not-so-famous Dutch masters. A fine introduction to the concepts presented but possibly too basic for a specialized collection.ANadine Dalton Speidel, Cuyahoga Cty. P.L., Parma, OH
