{"product_id":"the-little-street-linda-stone-ferrier-9780300259117","title":"The Little Street: The Neighborhood in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Art and Culture","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn interdisciplinary study of the central role that the neighborhood played in seventeenth-century Dutch painting and culture\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The neighborhood was a principal organizing structure of Dutch cities in the seventeenth century, and each had its own regulations, administrators, social networks, events, and diverse population of residents. Linda Stone-Ferrier argues that this sense of community contributed to the steady demand for pictures portraying aspects of this culture. These paintings, by such artists as Jan Steen and Pieter de Hooch, reinforced the role and values of the neighborhood. Through close readings of such works--by Steen and De Hooch and, among others, Gerrit Dou, Gabriel Metsu, Jacob van Ruisdael, and Johannes Vermeer--Stone-Ferrier deftly considers social history, urban studies, anthropology, and women's studies in this penetrating exploration. Her new interpretations of seventeenth-century Dutch painting across genres--scenes of streets, domesticity, professions, and festivity--challenge existing paradigms in Dutch art history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Stone-Ferrier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300259115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300259117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Linda Stone-Ferrier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070638420223,"sku":"9780300259117","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d86e8f1-2efa-4598-87d2-b2e7f4e7d262.jpg?v=1685431488","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-little-street-linda-stone-ferrier-9780300259117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
