"The Dutch visual culture of the Golden Age proved to be a rich and revolutionary source of artistic imagery. Its landscapes, still lifes and scenes of everyday life inspired artists from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, undermining and eventually replacing the Italianate, classical and idealising model of art. This book explores the European dissemination of these Dutch visual patterns and the theoretical concepts which accompanied them, and shows how they were appreciated, understood (or misunderstood), interpreted (or reinterpreted), and resisted in different places, times and contexts. A particular focus of the analysis is Britain, where a national school of painting was under construction, and writings on art tended to have a strong prescriptive tone. There the tensions between the classical ideal, supported institutionally by the Royal Academy, and the more popular attractions of the 'lower genres', were strongly felt."--Back cover.
