Dutch & Flemish Painting 1600-1700

Catalog description

In Antwerp, Rubens overturned all previous concepts of painting. The first to deserve the term "Baroque," he dominated Flanders. Van Dyck, his pupil, took Rubens's style to England. Dutch painters, including Hals, Rembrandt, and Vermeer, moved in a different direction, addressing every aspect of their country and society: the peasant, the quiet life of the well-ordered household, the sea and landscape, views of the cities, and church interiors.
