This exhibition has been organised in connection with the completion of the scholarly appraisal of the Nationalmuseum’s collection of Dutch painting and the publication of a catalogue raisonné to be issued to coincide with its opening. This extensive collection of Dutch art represents most of the Dutch great masters, consisting of nearly 500 items. The exhibition deals with Dutch visual art during the period 1620-1680. The paintings and drawings on display tell us about the Dutch Republic and the people who lived and worked there. One common characteristic of this art is the realism of its visual depictions. But some of the works of art to be seen here have motifs that are not normally regarded as particularly Dutch, such as classical mythology and Italian landscapes. This exhibition has been arranged thematically rather than chronologically.
