| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this papers is to demonstrate a significant difference between the courtly love in France and the civic love in Holland in the 17th century. In the courtly love tradition people did not necessarily seek for marriage ; in the civic love, however, marriage was always sought for. In order to show the difference, many materials such as Dutch genre paintings, popular songs, proverbs, emblem books and moral books for girls are to be examined.
Many critics have largely ignored the cultural context behind the Dutch genre paintings. This paper, however, attempts to throw a light on the context. In Holland, love had an important meaning in the civic institutions of the 17th century that were formed or reformed under the influence of the protestantism. Love was considered to be a necessary condition for marriage and for this purpose young girls in the (upper-) middle class were educated and controlled.
