This catalogue will be published to accompany the fi rst ever
exhibition of Golden Age Dutch pictures in the collection of the
National Trust, which will be shown at the Mauritshuis in The
Hague, the Holburne Museum in Bath and at Petworth House in West
Sussex (2018-19). Celebrating the enduring British taste for
collecting Dutch paintings from the long seventeenth century, the
publication will explore why and how this particular type of art
was desired, commissioned and displayed through the consideration
of masterpieces from a number of National Trust houses. It will
feature portraits, still lifes, religious pictures, maritime
paintings, landscapes, genre paintings and history pictures,
painted by celebrated artists such as Rembrandt, Lievens, Hobbema,
Cuyp, Hondecoeter, De Heem, Ter Borch and Metsu, as well as less
well-known artists such as De Baen and Van Diest. With over 350
heritage properties in the UK, the National Trust cares for one of
the world's largest and most signifi cant holdings of art and its
collection of Dutch Old Masters is particularly impressive. The
catalogue will include essays by Quentin Buvelot (chief curator at
the Mauritshuis) and David Taylor (curator of pictures and s
culpture at the National Trust). The authors will also discuss
other aspects of the infl uence of Dutch culture in British country
houses (using National Trust examples) - on furniture, garden
design and print and ceramics collecting.
