Monday, February 20th from 10:30 – 11:30am NSU Art Museum‘s Docent Speakers Bureau presents Dutch Masters: The Golden Age of the Dutch Republic coming to the John Knox Village campus, will be a close look at the Golden Age of the Dutch Republic, a time rich with invention, discovery and social, religious, economic, and political change. The artists of this era both reflected the world around them and participated in these monumental changes. The tremendous flowering of the arts began in the 1590s when artistic achievement and innovation in works of art proceeded on a grand scale with an intensity that has no parallel in any other time, or place, in history. This talk will discuss important Dutch artists such as Rubens, Hals, Rembrandt, and Vermeer.
Meet the Dutch Masters at 10:30 a.m. in the auditorium. This Event is FREE & Open to the Public.
