Being the catalogue of the exhibition Masters of Seventeenth-Century Dutch Genre PaintingMarch 18, 1984 - May 13, 1984 . The museum's blurb noted: "As no other people before them, the 17th-century Dutch left a detailed visual record of their society, land, and possessions. The richness and beauty of Dutch genre painting--scenes of everyday life--is revealed in 120 paintings lent by museums and private collections in Europe and the United States, the first major exhibition of the subject ever mounted in this country. With the rise of the Dutch republic in the 17th century came a new prosperity, a growth in the urban middle classes, and a corresponding increase in the ordinary citizen's demand for art. Everyday life often formed the subject matter of the Dutch burgher's new paintings. Steen's boisterous scenes of drinking and holiday merriment, the more refined pleasures depicted by Vermeer and ter Borch, and the simple images of work, whether in de Hooch's light-filled domestic interiors or Breklenkam's cobblers' shops, have a compelling truth to life.
