Fast Facts
The 17th Century Baroque era in Holland
was the Dutch Golden Age, a time of extraordinary
prosperity and social solidarity of the merchant class. A
flourishing local and international commerce provided the
economic key to an envied Dutch standard of living. There
was a strong middle-class market for contemporary Dutch
art which reflected pleasure in life, good times and the
general abundance of products from around the world. e.g.
spices, silk, cotton, porcelain. Being predominately
Protestant, there were no church commissions given;
rather, patronage came from the thriving middle class who
bought art in commercial art galleries.
