The Golden Age of Holland – Rembrandt
August 30, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
Series of Four Lectures with Patrick Bade
The Dutch Golden Age is one of the finest examples of independence breeding cultural pride. Among the most memorable images of the Dutch Golden Age are the genre paintings by Johannes Vermeer and his contemporaries. Their elegant renderings of men and women writing letters, playing music, and tending to their daily rituals possess a humanity and immediacy that feel both relevant and yet timeless.
Rembrandt van Rijn’s life spanned from 1606 to 1669 and within those years he created a bountiful collection of tremendous artworks. Not only is he considered one of Holland’s most esteemed artists from the Dutch Golden Age, but he is widely understood as one of the most significant painters in European history.
