Dutch Holland : New Holland, Come To The New World

‘The Dutch economic boom provided a demand for luxury items like paintings.’ (Price, 2012, pp104) A vast number of paintings in Holland were painted in the 17th century. (Price, 2012). In 1609, after the Twelve Years Truce, borders were opened to imported products from the south including paintings which sometimes were poor quality and high volume. Therefore ‘new guilds of St Luke or similar organisations were established in Gouda and Rotterdam in 1609 and in Delft and Utrecht in 1611. These four guilds aimed first and foremost to protect indigenous painters against imports from the South.’ (Stephen, 2008, pp152-153). ‘Craft guilds helped improving production and productivity by more complex products and applying new technology’. (Epstein and Prak, 2008, pp25)

The first colony in the region where New Amsterdam would be built was at first just a Dutch trading post and fort. In 1624 Dutch traders under the Dutch West India Company established the colony of New Amsterdam for their fur trading and other goods.The Dutch traders came to this region from the Netherlands to skin fur of exotic beast. Others later came to the settlement to protect the fort and to farm for the soldiers. Most of New Amsterdam population were mainly traders, soldiers, and some farmers. The New Amsterdam Colony lasted for 40 years before it was taken by British and renamed New York.

Anne explains here how differently the Jews are treated and how the Nazis posed an identity on the Jewish people. The Jewish people were identified as a whole separate group that were treated as if they were less than human or a different species. Although Anne doesn’t believe this about any Jewish people (including herself), she is still forced to live through it. This imposed identity contributes to Anne’s identity later on; she feels fearful, alone, and even ends up questioning her own identity.

The view from Victorians concerning the artwork was that they were obtained from” brutal and unruly savages from Benin” (The Times, 25th September 1897, p12) but it was also thought that the quality and workmanship of the pieces was exceptional.

One painting that caught my attention was the Oak Valley Plantation, Vacherie, Louisiana. Last month while I was on vacation in New Orleans, I visited an old authentic Creole plantation in the same area of the plantation in the painting.

The New Netherlands colony was a company town; its benefactors cared little for a socially tolerant colony. However, after continuous protests, a limited local government was created. The majority of the Dutch colony’s land adopted feudal domain, which in time became populated with a large variety of immigrants. The New Netherland colony was under constant intrusion from its shareholders and neighboring New England colonies.

In this selection of the book, Gitlin discusses a seventeenth-century Dutch painter by the name of Vermeer. Vermeer was known for being able to”fr[ee]ze instants, but instants that spoke of the relative constancy of the world in which his subjects lived” (Gitlin 558). People collected Vermeer’s paintings for display throughout their homes. Gitlin sees Vermeer as the seventeenth-century version of the media. In that time, the images painted were relative to the people’s era and private world. In today’s world Vermeer would be the equivalent to a celebrity photographer or movie director. If Vermeer, or any other artist of his time, were to see today’s households, they would find that the once private space inside the home is now much more dominated by images of the outside world than what would have been possible in the 1600’s.

The Dutch West India Company settled New Netherlands, and the Dutch bought Manhattan. New Netherland was aristocratic and feudal.

My project will be about how Wall Street got its name and how it became America's financial industry. As a matter of fact, New Amsterdam or later renamed as New York by the English Rule was first founded by the Dutch in 1614, for no other reason than to make a profit or a buck. New Amsterdam occupied much of the tip of lower Manhattan and was managed by the Dutch India Company. After two decades of New Amsterdam being founded it was a disorderly town with no order established, that caused a bad morale at its lowest. In 1647 New Amsterdam got a new director-general Peter Stuyvesant who had a strict orders by the Dutch India Company to clean up the place up. Within the same year of his arrived as director-general to the colony Stuysevant, banned drinking alcohol on Sundays and outlawed fornicating with the Indians. Therefore, he establishes an economic

Art by its nature is a subject of the philosophical, social, economic, political or religious context surrounding its creator. More often than not, a work of art addresses a specific topic or somewhat revolves around a particular person. Therefore, it is impossible to separate the context of a piece of painting, either historical or cultural, to its intrinsic value or the artwork's meaning. On the other hand, different cultures and time utilized specific conventions that govern the representation of objects of creativity. This essay highlights various pieces of art and their relationship to particular cultural, political, economic, or social settings. Moreover, it pinpoints how different times influence art presentation.

The founding of the New World fascinated many Europeans because of the possibilities of the economic, political, and social growth. Europeans packed their belongings and boarded the boat to new beginnings. Arriving in the Americas was not what they had expected. Already pre-occupied in the land, were the Native Americans. The Native Americans refused the Europeans colonization in the America’s, but not all colonies in the Europe just wanted to colonize with the Natives. The intentions of the Europeans colonies were all different, as the Dutch solely came for business transactions. The Dutch business transactions resulted in the change of economic, political, and social movements, changing the lives of the Native’s.

During the 17th century, especially after their break from Spain, The United Provinces of the Netherlands became the most prosperous nation in Europe by leading the world in trade, science, and art. Through the huge and one of the first art markets, art became a common household possession and allowed artists to freely express themselves, which is one of the evidential factors in three of the most universally admired artists of the baroque art era. Rubens, an influential Flemish artist of the Italian baroque scene, focused more on the works of the counter-reformation while the masters of the Dutch baroque art, such as Rembrandt, were in the heart of the protestant Dutch Republic. These three artists share similar artistic styles but yet have extremely evident differences and influences. The artists’ work also have a great portrayal of the historical and social impacts of the 17th century.
