Portraiture was very popular in seventeenth-century Amsterdam, and not only among the city's Christian citizens. Due to economic opportunities and a tolerant atmosphere, both Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews developed communities in Amsterdam. The Sephardic Jews in particular commissioned portraits. However, while Jewish portraiture was common in Amsterdam, it was very unusual throughout the rest of Europe at this time. This thesis explores the reasons behind Amsterdam's strong tradition of Jewish portraiture. The first chapter is and overview of the Jewish settlement in Amsterdam. The second and third chapters examine the economic and cultural factors that influenced the commissioning of portraits by Jews. The last chapter compares Jewish portraiture in other European countries to Amsterdam.
