The 1600s turnaround in Northern Europe
In spite of rivalries between Catholics and Protestants that was augmented by the schism of 1648 further enhancing the difference between the narrative specificities of the Flemish school and the descriptive specificities of the Dutch school in painting, the 1600's saw in Northern Europe a break away from mannerism and the emergence of a more simple art. Inspired by painters close to the Academies such as by artists that worked in synthesis with the Italian Baroque, this balanced expression worked on parallel with the ideal of the social aristocratic model of war and conquest, giving rise to the emergence of a chosen domesticity that showed an unprecedented image of simple pleasures in the European art. This transition period is perfectly highlighted by the present exhibition through the display of landscapes, still lives and the trompes l’oeil.
