Lisa Jardine (Author)
Exploring the cultural interchange between England and the Netherlands in the mid-1600s, historian Jardine focuses on the royal and courtier circles that cultivated the arts and sciences blossoming in that period. Her effusively illustrated book reproduces nearly 100 contemporary images of paintings and prints, each of which leads into the text, which discusses their connective role between the two countries. Jardine also traces the connections between the House of Stuart and the House of Orange, whose political interactions culminated in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the drama of which historically overshadows their rich web of cultural relationships, Jardine’s inquiry suggests. Indeed the antagonists James II and William of Orange are instantly recognizable to history readers, whereas Jardine’s protagonist is hardly known. He is Constantijn Huygens (1596–1687), a Dutch diplomat and connoisseur of painting, architecture, and garden design, and father of Christian, the renowned astronomer, and Constantijn, who was William’s secretary during the invasion of England. Weaving the fortunes of the Huygens clan into dynastic dynamics, Jardine richly displays the society in which Rubens and van Dyck flourished.
