Rarities of These Lands
A vivid account of Dutch seventeenth-century art and material culture against the backdrop of the geopolitics of the early modern worldThe seventeenth century witnessed a great flourishing of Dutch trade and culture. Central to the political and cultural identity of the Dutch Republic were curious foreign goods the Dutch called rarities.Rarities of These Lands explores how these rarities were obtained, exchanged, stolen, valued, and collected, tracing their global trajectories and considering their role within the politics of the new state. Over the course of the first half of the century, the northern Netherlands secured independence from the Spanish crown, and the nascent republic sought to establish its might in global trade, often by way of diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Empire and other Muslim powers.
