Dutch the portrait of the XVII century: Hals, Rembrandt and the Guild

The Netherlands - the Northern provinces recently (the seventeenth century) the split of the Netherlands for one this century was written between 750,000 and 1,100,000 portraits! It is clear that this "exploit" needed a whole army of artists. But above all, it needed a whole new nation of people who wanted to immortalize themselves for posterity, to look at not only "the mirror", but from the wall, as before they watched their aristocratic rulers in the almost completely demolished in the heat of the Dutch revolution locks. With portraits of F. Hals look (now us) the brave military officers and the crafty Gypsy, turned, thanks to the cheerful genius of the artist posing in the likeness of a rollicking game, a funny story about yourself. And Rebrand Harmenszoon van Rijn, who made a brilliant career in the portraits of the Amsterdam elite, suddenly found himself involved in the storytelling, as if guessing the faces of the poor Jews and their own. Almost free art experiences not only developed a new type of psychological portrait, but also brought its author to financial and social disaster. "Pride and prejudice" produce in Holland is not only a new type of group portrait, but contribute to its transformation into a new way of storytelling about the human public. So the boring "dinner" portraits of guilds and mouth self out into the light of history, many lessons of anatomy with renowned physicians of our time, "Night watch" by Rembrandt and banquets of city guard in honor of the few military victories of the Dutch. About turning in a portrait of the mythological and biblical scenes, and a portrait in Trone, wonderfully combining elements of genre painting, history and individuality of the human face, the suffering and the successes of the Dutch portrait painters and their models, just about first class painting new lectures Misun Anna (Anna Misyun), associate Professor of cultural studies, art history and philosophy of culture of ONPU from the cycle "From all arts for us the most important...: Painting in the space of culture".
