How did "spirituality" find its way into nonreligious subject matter in Baroque painting? Cite one or two examples that support your answer
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. In the seventeenth century, works with secular subjects such as still lifes, genre scenes, and landscapes became popular.
2. In the North, where Protestant theology discouraged images of saints and of ancient subjects, such scenes were especially popular.
3. In some images, religious stories were dominated by a landscape setting as if the figures are incidental. An example is Annibale Carracci's Landscape with Flight into Egypt, in which the religious scene takes place in a pastoral world, a middle ground between civilization and wilderness.
4. Landscapes such as Jacob van Ruisdael's View of Haarlem from the Dunes at Overveen present the sweeping landscape, sky, and light as evidence of divine handiwork. The spiritual is now found in nature, not exclusively in a church.
