In the Golden Age of the Netherlands, painting saw a great upswing in view of the country’s strong economic development. Particularly popular were the elegant, atmospheric interiors and familiar scenes, along with exaggerated, ironical depictions of the peasant milieu and the excessive pleasure activities of simple people. Based on the Kunsthalle’s high-quality holdings, some 150 works illustrate this multifaceted chapter of European history.
