    Continuing the museum’s season of exhibitions devoted to the art and culture of the Netherlands, Dutch Treat offers visitors the rare opportunity to examine the work of one of the most accomplished painters of the Dutch Golden Age, Gerrit Dou (1613–1675), in depth.

    A pupil of Rembrandt’s, Dou looked ahead to Vermeer in his love of domestic subjects, skillful rendering of light and texture, and fine execution. Ten works by Dou will be shown in this exhibition with related highlights from the Museum’s collections, including paintings, decorative arts, and furniture from one of the most celebrated periods in Dutch art.
