Description

CLOSED MONDAY & TUESDAY.
The 16 prints and drawings featured in this installation demonstrate how artists depicted European royalty and courtly culture between the 15th and 18th centuries. Works on view include etchings by Romeyn de Hooghe, who created pointed political satires as well as celebratory allegorical pictures brimming with aristocratic pomp and historic references. The exhibition also highlights diverse royal portraits by influential artists such as Jonas Suyderhoef, Stefano della Bella, and Jacques Callot. Views of prominent estates and castles, depicted during times of war and peace, are also on display.
