Johannes Vermeer, The Milkmaid, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Generally, the Dutch Golden Age refers to a period of economic and cultural prosperity in the history of the Netherlands. Famous artists from this period include Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) and Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675). Importantly, we notice a departure from the traditional historical ties between art and the church or aristocracy, with ordinary merchants now becoming interested in collecting art. This change is reflected not only in how art was sold but also in the themes and ideas explored by artists in their paintings.
