Summary:"The author approaches genre paintings from a variety of perspectives, examining their reception among contemporary audiences and setting the works in their political, cultural, and economic contents. The works emerge as distinctly conventional images, Franits shows, as genre artists continually replicated specific styles, motifs, and a surprisingly restricted number of themes over the course of several generations. Illustrated and with a full representation of the major artists and the cities where genre painting flourished, this book will interest students, scholars, and general readers alike."--BOOK JACKET.
