Silk thread - Tristan Mostert; Jan van Campen
China and the Netherlands 1600
KORTE INHOUD
Silk thread
China and the Netherlands from 1600
Tristan Mostert, Jan van Campen
Silk Thread uses objects from the Rijksmuseum collection
to explore the shared history of China and the Netherlands from 1600 to the present. This book pays lavish attention both to the intensive efforts of Dutch traders to reach China and establish a trading post, and to the Dutch people's fas- cination with Chinese goods. The products of the encounter - the silk, porcelain and lacquerware, the travelogues and atlases - defined perceptions of China in the Netherlands and far beyond. In the same period, the Netherlands gained a small but significant place in Chinese consciousness.
The often-turbulent relationship between China and the West forms an intriguing contrast to the enduring Dutch interest in China and the magnificent objects emanating from it.
