Dutch Naturalism in the Golden Age of Netherlandish Art: a 3 part series presented by Dennis Raverty In-Person
The flourishing of capitalism under the Protestant Republic of the Netherlands was a rich source for the establishment of an art that catered to the tastes of the newly rich middle class. Down-to-earth businessmen wanted realistic depictions of themselves and of everyday life, and the prolific artists of the period supplied them with portraits, landscapes, still lifes and genre scenes. Collectively they are sometimes referred to as the "Little Dutch Masters."
