Bolstered by a new political independence, economic prosperity, and maritime supremacy, Holland in the seventeenth century witnessed a rich artistic flourishing. This exhibition features over ninety drawings by many of the preeminent artists of the Dutch Golden Age—among them
Rembrandt van Rijn and his followers
Ferdinand Bol and
Gerbrand van den Eeckhout;
Abraham Bloemaert;
Aelbert Cuyp; and
Jan van Goyen—who were active primarily in their native Holland and who brought their extraordinary talents to bear on such quintessentially Dutch subjects as landscapes and marine views, pastoral and genre scenes, still life, and portraiture. The works, assembled over the last two decades, are from the private collection of Clement C. Moore and are exhibited together publicly for the first time.
