Visual Art
Dutch painters have greatly influenced the culture and interpretation of visual art through painting. Beginning with the Early Netherlandish art of the 15th and 16th centuries, artists of northern Europe, then controlled by Dukes of Burgundy contributed to the gothic and reniassance movements. Many styles emerged during this time incluing the painting of Heironymus Bosch. Bosh primary painted fantasy narratives and is known for his depictions of hell.
The Dutch Golden Age of Painting, from 1620-1680, was another influential time for visual artists including Vermeer and Rembrandt. During this time Amsterdam was urbanized due to an influx of merchants, wealthy business owners and became a hub for religious and cultural tolerance because many people groups were fleeing persecution and were welcomed by the Dutch Republic. This influence can be seen in Rembrandt’s Dr. Ephraim Bueno, Jewish Physician. Rembrandt was known for his portrait and landscape. One famous work created by Vermeer was Love Letter, this painting is a perfect example of his style which evoked real life imagery filled with metaphors and symbols. Vincent Van Gogh was an incredible dutch artist whose style continues to influence artists worldwide. In a decade he completed 2,100 paintings, including 860 oil painting. He painted landscape, portrait,still lifes and self portraits. Unfortunately mental illness plagued Van Gogh and caused an early death for him. However, his works will go down in infamy. I loved visiting the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and was greatly inspired by his artistry. He believed painting could heal him. I was also inspired by the intention his family members put into making his name known. |
Dance
Dance was outlawed in the Reformation period. However, Dutch folk dance forms have made their entry in modern culture through clogging. Workers would dance to the sound of the loom at the cotton mill with their wooden clogs.
Music
Dutch music has many different traditions. Levenslied is a form meaning “life song.” Levenslied can be mancholical in tune and often would speak of subjects like the mysteries of life and love. Nederpop , or Dutch pop, rose to popularity in 1960s and 70s. It has brought bands like Shocking Blue, Focus and Golden Earring. Dutch hip hop, Nederhop, is extremely popular right now. This form of music began influencing Afro-Caribbean young people in Amsterdam and Rotterdam in the 1980s. Famous rappers include Ali-B and Lange Frans
