Dutch Painting in the 17th Century
The 17th century was the ‘Golden Age’ of Dutch painting. A hard won political and religious independence fostered a rising wealthy middle class, which in turn sparked a flourishing art scene. We will explore how art functioned in private and public domains, reflecting family values and the perennially compelling concerns of morality and immortality. Our survey will take us through narrative painting, portraiture and still life, unpacking the work of Judith Leyster, Rembrandt van Rijn and Johannes Vermeer among many others.
This is a Members-only lecture series. Gallery Members get free unlimited entry to all exhibitions, discounts, access to the Members Lounge and much more. Click here to find out more about our Membership programme.
