“…Pas aan het eind van de zeventiende eeuw gingen katholieke religieuze emblemen daar invloed op de protestantse productie uitoefenen, en ook dan nog onder het voorbehoud dat het katholieke zodanig aangepast diende te worden dat het niet als storend, vreemd element opviel. 93 Jennis was deze ontwikkeling ver vooruit. Zijn optreden geeft reden de Noord-Nederlandse omgangsvormen, die de vrijheden van uitgevers en dichters in de Republiek bepaalden, vanuit internationaal perspectief te (her)ijken.…”

During the majority of the seventeenth century, religious literature produced in the Dutch Republic contained far fewer illustrations than the religious literature produced in the Southern Netherlands, England and Germany. The relative freedom with which different denominations and their attendant ideologies coexisted in the seventeenthcentury Dutch Republic, would seem to provide an ideal setting for the integration of old and new religious visual practices. Visual components were, however, not easily integrated in literary-religious publications in the Republic. In fact, the process was unexpectedly complicated and discontinued, one aspect of which is discussed in this article. It is argued that in at least in one city in one of the Republic's neighbouring countries old and new visual traditions intermingled earlier and more thoroughly, judged by the development of religious emblematics in Frankfurt between 1617 and 1631. In this period, a group of talented Southern Netherlandish engravers and authors joined forces with the Calvinistic publisher Lukas Jennis to produce a series of hybrid religious emblem books. The last book in the series was Bartholomeus Hulsius' Emblemata sacra, the first Dutch Reformed emblem book ever published. Frankfurt provided exactly the sort of climate in which different confessional traditions intermingled and influenced each other with little friction. This exemplary case urges us to reconsider the nature of Dutch toleration: why could a country known for its religious toleration not develop these forms of cultural hybridity on its own initiative?

“…Na een aarzelende start opereerden vanaf 1680 ook protestanten in de Republiek op dit terrein, om in de achttiende eeuw de productie van nieuwe embleembundels voor een groot deel voor hun rekening te nemen. 33 Diversen van hen oogstten zoveel succes met hun werk dat ze meer dan één embleembundel uitbrachten. Een voorbeeld hiervan is H. Graauwhart, die in 1704 de embleembundel Leerzame zinnebeelden publiceerde, en vijf jaar later volgens dezelfde beproefde methode een vervolg liet uitkomen, Voorbeeldelyke zedelessen.…”

In this article, I examine the changing emblematic genre of the eighteenth century. Once functioning as complex riddles for a learned audience, emblems came to be direct moralisations for a large audience during the Enlightenment. The textual and visual allegories which, in combination with the iconological tradition, once served as vehicle for the transfer of knowledge were replaced by different structures of meaning. This process is being studied in the Dutch emblematics of the eighteenth century, revealing various strategies used by poets to apply the literary allegory in a changing context.

This Element describes the development of an affective economy of violence in the early modern Dutch Republic through the circulation of images. The Element outlines that while violence became more controlled in the course of the 17th century, with fewer public executions for instance, the realm of cultural representation was filled with violent imagery: from prints, atlases and paintings, through theatres and public spectacles, to peep boxes. It shows how emotions were evoked, exploited, and controlled in this affective economy of violence based on desires, interests and exploitation. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
