Of all the famous Dutch masters during the Late Renaissance and Early Baroque periods, none surpass Rembrandt van Rijn in either historical importance or artistic merit. His aesthetic has been much-imitated, a testament to the inspirational grip they exert on their viewer. Key aspects of his style are instantly recognizable to even the casual fine art enthusiast: his penchant for chiaroscuro lighting amidst dark backgrounds; the feverish intensity of his subjects, who are often shown seemi...

This story begins in September 1988, when house music was being introduced on the dancefloors in Amsterdam by US and UK DJ/producers who for the first time found a receptive audience for their (acid) house music style. The Netherlands, a hedonistic and freethinking nation, helped to accelerate the new subculture in an unrestrained cocktail of artists, music, parties, festivals and not in the last place the love drug xtc.

Routledge Research in Art and Politics

Best represented by the Dutch artists Pyke K...

Polish Studies – Transdisciplinary Perspectives

The book is an attempt at a monographic approach to the problem of the reception of 17th-century Dutch painting in modern literature.

Readers learn the historically conditioned models of perception of 17th-century Dutch painting. The original achievement is the genre key, which is a consequence of t...

Education (R0)

This book discusses how the Dutch vocational education system has undergone significant waves of reform driven by global imperatives, national concerns and governmental policy goals. Like elsewhere, the impetuses for these reforms are directed to generating a more industry-responsive, locally-accountable and competence-based vocational education system. Each wave of reforms, however, has had particular emphases, and directed to achieve particular policy outcomes. Yet, they are more than me...

What happens when we push these objects and their materiality to the centre of our research? How do they invite us to develop new perspectives on the early modern D...

Johannes Vermeer has fascinated a growing number of 21st century viewers with his most intimate depictions of the nature of human existence.

Nearly 400 years later, Vermeer is still celebrated for his incomparable sense of timelessness, human dignity and unprec...
