Instead of familiar idealized genre paintings, this book focuses on real life. Accompanying the eponymous exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, this book, designed by Irma Boom, includes commentary from several of the museum's curators delving into the world behind the paintings: the residents and the objects that surrounded them. What people left behind--furniture, utensils and even pottery fragments found in cesspools--gives a picture of how they furnished and used their homes. The result is an intimate look behind the front door of the 17th century--into a world that is sometimes surprisingly recognizable, but often radically different as well.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 392\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 7.4 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 09, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53436099559731,"sku":"9789462089501","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/JdexyXwWR59789462089501.webp?v=1780779009","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/at-home-in-the-17th-century-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
