Album met scènes uit het Venetiaanse leven 17th century

This album of scenes from Venetian life was created by various makers, and now resides in the Rijksmuseum. Without further information, it is difficult to understand the historical, social, and cultural context of this album. However, considering the subject matter, we can think about Venice as a port city and a commercial hub where identities, races, and social classes from all over the world mixed. What do these scenes tell us about these interactions and representations of those who lived and passed through Venice? How do the artists reflect the societal norms and values of their time, and how might they challenge or subvert them? Ultimately, this album invites us to reflect on the complex tapestry of Venetian life and the ways in which identity, race, and class intersect to shape individual and collective experiences.
