Summary: The Dutch school of painting, arising in the early seventeenth century and already in decline by its end, is one of the most remarkable phenomena in the history of art. Unusual, first of all, is the abruptness with which it appears; suddenly, about 1620, there is a Dutch school, fully developed, a school which has its origins in sixteenth-century Netherlandish painting, to be sure, but which is quite unexpectedly original. Unusual, too, is the extraordinary numerof great artists who worked in such a small country during so short a period of time. Finally, the solid excellence of their painting is remarkable and what might be called the homogeneity of their view of life and their interpretation of it, the consistent way in which they express their land and its people. They are, in fact, so Dutch! They stand apart from the artist of other scgools of seventeenth-century painting in Europe, even that of the Spanish Netherlands, just to the south. Dutch painting of the great age reveals the period and place of its origin in every passage of paint as legibly as they may be read in the label on the picture frame.
