Virtual- Rembrandt & Vermeer: Masters of the Dutch Baroque with Jane Oneail
Thursday, November 21, 2024
You all know how much we love Jane Oneail of Culturally Curious! Today, she's discussing the Dutch Golden Age of Painting which was ushered in by a prosperous middle class and a new demand for images like still-lifes, portraits and genre scenes. The undisputed masters of the era were Rembrandt and Vermeer. This program provides an overview of the artists’ careers and an introduction to some of their most famous works.
