TUTORIAL: The insider's guide to the Dutch Golden Age
|
|
Spices, silks, gold, silver, tulips and porcelain arrived in Dutch society in the seventeenth century via the Dutch East India Company and were celebrated in vibrant artistic styles that captured the spirit of the Golden Age.
Join historian Professor Susan Broomhall for this absorbing seminar. We will explore the immense international power of the trading companies (reaching as far as the western Australian coast in 1616, under Dirk Hartog), the beauty of Dutch art and porcelain, the story of its political emergence and role of key women and men in the dynasty whose name, Orange-Nassau, is forever linked with this nation and its sporting colour.
