This lecture explores how depictions of women reading, writing, and receiving letters in seventeenth-century Dutch genre paintings may be understood as expressions of modernity.

Focusing on the exceptional group of paintings by Gabriel Metsu, Frans van Mieris, and Gerrit Dou presented in the exhibition Exchanging Words: "Women and Letters in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Genre Painting", this lecture takes a closure look at these captivating images and the ways in which artists depicted women as active participants in their intellectual lives.
