Master Flemish and Dutch Painters Explore painting in the Netherlands from the time of the Northern Renaissance in Flanders to the era of the Dutch Golden Age. During this dynamic period, the Low Countries thrived as a center of agriculture and trade while also grappling with religious wars, resulting in the emergence of the Dutch Republic as an international power both economically and artistically. Examine master painters who engaged with different forms of government and patronage, ranging from dukes and kings to burghers and merchants. As the region split between Catholic and Protestant, Flemish artists such as van Eyck, Rubens, and van Dyck took advantage of a complex political world to become recognized throughout the European continent while Dutch artists, including Rembrandt, Hals, and Vermeer, unable to rely on church or court commissions, developed a modern art market that encouraged experimentation and the emergence of new types of secular painting, from portraiture and landscapes to everyday scenes and still life.
