Description
Summary:The collection of Dutch old master paintings in the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest ranks among the most important in the world: its five hundred works by seventeenth-century artists is the world’s fourth largest array outside Holland. 'Rembrandt and the Dutch Golden Age' seeks to throw light on this substantial collection from the Old Masters’ Gallery. Centred around the highlights of the Museum’s own collection, this exhibition will provide an introduction to the strikingly rich and versatile artistic culture of the “Dutch Golden Age”. It will unfold the richness of genres and versatility of styles in seventeenth-century Dutch painting in a way that is interesting, comprehensible, and delightful for the public. It will throw new light on a body of work of international importance within the Museum of Fine Arts’ own collections. It will also display some pieces from today’s Hungarian private collections. The catalogue will include essays on the historical relations between Hungary and the Netherlands (with special attention to the seventeenth century) and on the history of collecting Dutch painting within Hungary.0Exhibition: Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, Hungary (28.10.2014-15.02.2015)
