Tonbridge Decorative & Fine Arts Society Lecture: Double Dutch: Symbols in Dutch Genre Painting

Double Dutch: Symbols, Emblems and ‘Double-entendre’ in Dutch Genre Painting – Lynne Gibson
The merchants of seventeenth century Holland filled their town houses with paintings. A favourite subject was scenes of everyday life: depicting behaviour both good … and bad.
But these upright Calvinist citizens rejected Catholic Baroque melodrama. They wanted nothing to alarm the in-laws or corrupt the children. Innocent objects hint at adult themes: plucked chickens and lap dogs, lutes and virgina

2.30 pm. All are welcome. Visitor fee £5.00. Talk followed by tea and biscuits.
