Dutch Golden age makeovers.

Dutch painting of the 17th century -это perfect representation of Europeans about naturopathie picturesque style.
Dutch bourgeoisie became the main customer of paintings and tapestries, format of art has changed dramatically.
Huge religious composition 15-16 centuries shamefully retreated, in their place came rational in execution and extremely concise in the semantic guidance of the Cabinet painting.
Glorification and obojanie in the portrait is replaced by easy to understand shape and external amenity of the image. Still lifes, instead of the usual modesty changed the appearance of the exquisite luxury, a rich set of fine attributes and accessories.
Architecture acquired traits of the French Palace of abundance. The quiet grandeur of cityscapes replaced the excessive Renaissance Paradise, full of incredible plants and Zoological unnatural excesses.
XVI century Idealism gave way to pragmatism in the seventeenth century.
Ancient goddess and Holy Martyr dressed in fashionable Baroque dress, characters and other masculine the deities were laid out in military armor. The Trojan battle suddenly turned into a small battle between the Dutch and the Spaniards in the vicinity of Breda. Olympus has turned into a Sunday market with a theatrical puppet theatre, and sacrifice @- the scene in the kitchen, in front of a hot stove instead of the Delphic tripod.
In the Dutch cities were taken" битвы rhetoricians", when people competed in the skill of reading poems or satirical prose. The team was going quarterly @- each district exhibited a master of words. Narrative and the grace of the word was inspired by the fashion for reading, which is extremely spread in XVIIвеке.
University education in the Netherlands came into Vogue in mid-century.
Even commoner@- Miller @- father Rembrandt found a possibility for admission of their children to the University of Leiden.
There is nothing surprising in the fact that the growth of education demanded of fine art more symbolic and meaningful encumbrances.
And they immediately appear in" умном" the Hague still life in the mirror reflections of Vermeer and de Hooch, and the comic scenes by Jan Steen and Ostade.
Interestingly, the paintings with scenes of fights in the taverns and images of beggars and cripples were intended to demonstrate the democracy of the owner, his intimate closeness to the people.
Such works were valued almost more than all the picturesque orders, except, only that, corporate portrait.
At the end of the XVII century Dutch noble simplicity was strongly repressed by the French Palace Paphos gilded interiors and painting gallant properties.
