Gifts of art were pervasive in seventeenth-century Europe and many Dutch artists, like their counterparts elsewhere, embraced gift giving to cultivate relations with patrons, art lovers, and other members of their social networks. Rembrandt also created distinctive works to function within a context of gift exchange, and both Rembrandt and Vermeer engaged the ethics of the gift to identify their creative labor as motivated by what contemporaries called a love of artAmsterdam studies in the Dutch golden age.Art, Dutch17th centuryGiftsSocial aspectsNetherlands17th centuryRembrandt, Vermeer, the Gift, Amateur Artists, Dutch Art, Golden Age.Art, DutchGiftsSocial aspects709.49209032Zell Michael1962-1634608MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815171303321Rembrandt, Vermeer, and the gift in seventeenth-century Dutch art3974919UNINA
