Timken Museum of Art Virtual Talk - Rembrandt and his Colleagues: The Netherlands in the 17th century ranked among the most powerful and influential countries in Europe and the world, erupting with artists of such skill and inventiveness, they continue to enthrall to this day. We are very fortunate that the Timken collection contains Dutch and Flemish masterpieces from some of the world’s most renowned artists, including Rembrandt, Frans Hals and Anthony van Dyck. Intoday’s docent-led talk, we will examine the new genres of art introduced during a period in which the inhabitants of the Netherlands became consumers of art to fill their homes - they couldn’t get enough. Art for the first time became available in the open marketplace and there were plenty of buyers for the wonderful new landscapes, still life, portraits and genre scenes of their everyday lives. Held via Zoom.
