As we begin to hunker down for the holiday season, there are several online exhibitions that offer excellent ways to enrich your free time. One of such exhibitions is the Princeton University Art Museum’s
th-Century Dutch Painting, which examines the art that consumed a newly independent Dutch Republic. Although the works were often representations of landscapes, the sea, or were still life tableaux, they were also fictions meant to project notions of prosperity. The paintings were also often made at a small scale, allowing them to fit into the homes of the nascent Dutch upper-middle class. In order to see these calculated portrayals of the hopeful future of the Dutch Republic for yourself, check here to access the online exhibition.
