Agnes Block, a cultural producer of the seventeenth-century Netherlands, is a largely obscure figure due to socioeconomic and political barriers and a male-dominated tradition in art history. This book seeks to write Block and her contributions into the art and cultural history of the Netherlands, highlighting the need for and advantages of a multifaceted approach to research on early modern women. Examining Blocks achievements, relationships, and objects reveals a woman who was independent, knowledgeable, self-aware, and not above self-promotion. Though her gender brought few opportunities and many barriers, Agnes Block succeeded in fashioning herself as Flora Batava, a liefhebber at the intersection of art and science.
