Who are those luxuriously dressed people, painted by young Rembrandt? What were they doing, eating and drinking? How were they different from the ordinary citizens, that were painted by Frans Hals or Jan Steen?
What were the favorite taverns among locals in the Golden Age time? What games were they playing? Why were they wasting their savings in the anatomical theatres?
Let’s figure it out!
We will dive into the Golden Age time to find out what was happening here and how these events influenced the national character of the Dutch. We would like to discuss with you different subjects you are interested in, whether it is Dutch art in its historical context, the development of maritime trade routes and the Dutch East India Company, the role of Dutch women in society, or even the daily life of local people.
