Abstract
To judge by reviews, verbal comments, informal discussions, and the general perception, the state of research in seventeenth-century art in the Netherlands is marked by controversy, at times even animosity. Certain publications have been criticized with a vehemence more typical of political diatribes than art-historical discourse, and certain statements have given cause to denunciations in the public press. Such disagreement undoubtedly indicates that new ideas are being launched, and that the field is alive. The question is whether these new ideas contribute to better insights, or whether their critics are right and a return to the status quo ante would be preferable.
