ART: Dutch works rich in peasant life.

The Boston Herald | May 4, 1997| | Copyright

Peasant life, the primary subject of the works in "From Lowlife to Rustic Idyll: The Peasant Genre in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Drawings and Prints" is, for the most part, sweetly idealized.

The harsh reality of long hours of hard labor is couched in humorous depictions of languorous workers. Rustic tavern scenes, silly dance parties and crudeness abounds in these prints and drawings - works the growing Dutch middle class bought to remind them of their rural outings much the way that we might purchase a picturesque seascape on a ramble down to the Cape.
