The Netherlands yearbook for history of art no. 61 has appeared: Art and Science in the Early Modern Netherlands.
The early modern age saw a flourishing of the arts, but also of the sciences, first in the southern Netherlands and later also in the Dutch republic. This volume of the NKJ is dedicated to the rich and complex relationships between both fields in the early modern Netherlands.
