What was everyday life really like in the age of Rembrandt, Vermeer and Jan Steen? At Home in the 17th Century brings this period to life through personal stories and ordinary objects – from furniture and children’s toys to lice combs, brooms and even food remains from a cesspit. This book opens the door to domestic life in the Dutch Republic, revealing how people lived, worked, ate, prayed, mourned and loved. The result is a unique glimpse into a world that is sometimes strikingly familiar, yet often radically different.
