RE-FORMING THE IMAGE IN NORTHERN EUROPE IN THE DUTCH GOLDEN AGE

February 4, 2013 – March 23, 2013

Exhibition curated by Christopher Atkins, Queens College, Art History & Dutch Art seminar students.

Paintings, prints, sculpture and historical artifacts from the 16th-18th c. Netherlands, Germany, England, France and colonial NY show how art pictured new attitudes about man and the natural world and reflected a rise in democracy and the middle classes. In sites impacted by the Protestant Reformation, religious, social, and scientific revolutions engendered a flowering of secular subject matter and naturalistic aesthetics that gave birth to modern art genres.

Major funding for the exhibition has been provided by Flushing Bank.  Additional Funding has been provided by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, The Netherland-America Foundation, New York Council for the Humanities, New York Community Bank, Kupferberg Center for the Arts, Queens College Office of the Provost, Office of the Dean of Arts and Humanities, the Queens College Art Department, and Friends of the Godwin-Ternbach Museum.

Museum hours are: Monday-Thursday, 11 am to 7 pm and Saturday 11 am to 5 pm
