Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Hardcover volume is new, in shrinkwrap. 94 pages. "The seventeenth-century Dutch Republic was a place of surprising religious diversity. That much is clear if we look at its leading artists: Frans Hals was Reformed, Jan Steen and Johannes Vermeer were Catholic, and Rembrandt was not tied…to any church. They all sold their work to patrons from wide-ranging religious backgrounds. Only the Reformed Church was recognised by the authorities, but many other religions thrived behind closed doors. This book sheds light on how government and the public worked together to resolve a new dilemma: how can peace be maintained in a country with a variety of religious groups, each of which believes it has a monopoly on the truth? Chapters by Xander van Eck and Corinne van Dijk, and (sic) examine tolerance in seventeenth-century history and art. A concluding essay by Paul Schnabel presents his view of the similarities and differences between the past and present in matters of religious toleration.".
