The Dutch/Flemish Collection- Various artists

Represents one of South Africas most important collections of art from the Golden Age, when the Dutch Republic was the most prosperous country in Europe. Prior to the 17th century, when church patronage dominated in Holland and Flanders, Dutch paintings became fashionable in the homes of the bourgeoisie.  The exhibition comprises artwork in various media by a host of Dutch and Flemish masters, such as Rembrandt van Rijn, Esias Boursse, Pieter Claesz, Gerrit van Deurs, Jacob Duck, Lambert Jacobsz, Ludolph de Jongh, Frans de Momper, and Anthonie Palamedesz, amongst others.
