La république des Provinces-Unies dans les récits de voyageurs français (1600-1650)
Le Lion batave et l'Hercule français
First Edition
The Netherlands at the time of Rembrandt and Vermeer, as seen by French travellers Read More
The French are fascinated with the Netherlands since immemorial times. The country is so close, yet so different. As early as 1600, French travellers flocked there to witness the birth of the Republic of the United Provinces during a Homeric war. The travel accounts offer an unusual look at a country and a society in the making. Urban society, maritime trade and religious coexistence truly struck the French. Even when the Franco-Dutch alliance of Henry IV's time belonged to the past, 'Holland' remained omnipresent. The iconographic cycle of Versailles bears witness to this brilliantly. In ten essays, this volume presents the French perception of the Dutch Golden Age, through travel journals and iconography. A journey into unknown territory.
