Exhibition "Western European Art: Baroque"

About exhibition

The exhibition features a small collection of Dutch paintings. Among the earliest examples of Dutch art in the museum is the painting "Winter" by Joost Cornelisz Droochsloot. A highlight of the Flemish collection is a large canvas from the workshop of Peter Paul Rubens, "Susanna and the Elders", and still lifes by Gaspar Peeter Verbruggen the Younger ("Still Life with Flowers and Birds") and Jan Nolekens ("Dead Game"). The museum's collection includes works by followers of the famed master Caravaggio, among them Mattia Preti's "The Dice Game". Baroque painting is represented by works of unknown artists of the Roman school: "Saint Jerome" and "The Sacrifice of Jephthah". The genre of 18th-century landscapes, views and everyday scenes can be seen in a work by an unknown Venetian master, "Landscape with Figures", and in the composition "City Market" by Severio (Xavier) Gatta.
