Dutch and Flemish works of art often illuminate complex histories of globalization. Examine how the impact of colonialism, and the transatlantic trade of enslaved Africans on 17th-century Dutch society manifests in art from this period. Also learn about the newly-opened Center for Netherlandish Art and the expanded and reinterpreted galleries featuring this collection. 

This session is led via Zoom and includes opportunities for questions and dialogue.

The Founders of the Center for Netherlandish Art are Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo and Susan and Matthew Weatherbie.
