In Praise of Painting | “The Golden Age in the Gilded Age: Collecting Dutch Art in New York”

Adam Eaker, Assistant Curator, European Paintings, The Met

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, New Yorkers developed a taste for the art of the Dutch Golden Age that roughly spanned the 17th century. The Met’s exceptional collection of Dutch paintings from the period, beginning with the Museum’s founding purchase in 1871 are deeply rooted in the relationship between New York’s Gilded Age and the Dutch Golden Age.
