This study of 17th-century paintings - allegories, portraits, still lifes and genre paintings - recognizes the subject matter as more than a purely visual one and examines the works as a cultural manifestation, examining themes and motifs that are included in the works. De Jongh explores visual traditions, prints, emblems, writings and folklore and through a realization that there are limits to the interpretation of visual representations, he also employs methodological and theoretical issues. De Jongh wrote these essays over a period of 25 years. All these articles have now been revised. The introduction has been rewritten especially for this anthology and many new illustrations have been added.
