Description: This exquisite collection of 17th and early 18th century Dutch painting is both the largest and the most representative survey of old European art within the collections of the National Gallery in Prague. Its significance by far transcends the borders of the Czech Republic. The unique nature of this collection is enhanced by the fact that its current form is the result of a complex evolution - great collectors, renowned connoiseurs and even artists themselves have contributed to it over the years, from the 18th century to the present day. For the first time, the Prague collection of Golden Age Dutch paintings is presented to scholars and art lovers in the form of a collection catalogue featuring most up-to-date research and critical assessment of the collection.
