The articles gathered in this volume of the Nederlands Kunsthistorisch Jaarboek address these aspects of the art of home in the early modern Netherlands, from the domestic display of Bruegel´s paintings to the entertainment practices of the eighteenth-century elite, and from the emergence of the study in the Dutch house to the development of new notions of private life in the paintings of Johannes Vermeer and Pieter de Hooch. A historiographic essay on the interdisciplinary study of domestic culture frames the lively contributions to this book.
