DUTCH FREEDOM The Dutch succeeded in securing
their independence from the Spanish in the late
sixteenth century. Not until 1648, however,
after years of continual border skirmishes with
the Spanish were the northern Netherlands
officially recognized as the United Provinces of
the Netherlands ( The Dutch Republic ). DUTCH
MONEY Amsterdam had the highest per capita income
in Europe. That city emerged as the financial
center of Europe, having founded the Bank of
Amsterdam in 1609. DUTCH GOVERNMENT Due to
this prosperity and the absence of an absolute
ruler, political power increasingly passed into
the hands of an urban patrician class of
merchants and manufacturers, especially in cities
such as Amsterdam, Haarlem, and Delft. That
these bustling cities were all located in Holland
( the largest of the seven United Provinces )
perhaps explains why the name Holland is used
informally to refer to the entire country. DUTCH
RELIGION While Spain and the southern Netherlands
were Catholic, the northern Netherlands were
predominantly Protestant. The prevailing
Calvinism demanded a puritanical rejection of art
in churches, and thus artists produced relatively
little religious art in the Dutch Republic at
this time (especially when compared to areas
dominated by Catholicism in the wake of the
Counter- Reformation.)

The Militia Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq
