Golden accompanies the first major exhibition in the United States of one of the finest private collections of 17th-century Dutch and Flemish paintings in the world, assembled over the past two decades by Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo. In this beautifully illustrated book, works by Rembrandt, Jacob van Ruisdael, Frans Hals, and Jan Brueghel the Elder, among others, represent a wide range of subjects such as land and water, cityscapes and landmarks, still lifes, foreign travels, and burghers, peasants, and painters. In addition, fine examples of furniture and decorative arts shed light on the astounding range of this artistic period.
Known as the Golden Age, the 17th century was a time of unparalleled prosperity in the Netherlands, where the emerging merchant class eagerly commissioned and collected paintings, furniture, and other decorative arts. Essays by leading scholars address the context of 17th-century Dutch and Flemish painting, and the history and development of this unparalleled collection. The quality and breadth of the Van Otterloos' holdings illuminate one of the greatest artistic and cultural chapters in European history.

On October 12th, 1654 exploded the Delft powder magazine. For painting this explosion had major consequences: one of the most talented artists of his time, Carel Fabritius, was killed in this terrible accident. His studio, which was nearby the powder magazine, was wiped out. As a result, only a small number of his paintings survived. Due to the quality and originality of the remaining work Fabritius is nevertheless among the true greats of the Dutch Golden Age. His phenomenal, smooth brushwork made him Rembrandt's most gifted pupil, while its subtle treatment of light and bright palette had a huge influence on Johannes Vermeer's work.
