Unlike in German countries during the Baroque period (see our pages THEOLOGY), Dutch Baroque visual art is characterized by more ‘secular’ themes, such as still life, landscapes, etc., meaning less Christian themes.

The iconographic analysis is especially interesting because – aside textual interpretations and where appropriate –- identifies furthermore image details, i.e. notable facial expressions.
This focused selection offers valuable insights into the iconographic analysis of each work.

As a result, our database includes also image details from these paintings and drawings, chosen as significant from an art-historical point of view.
