The special exhibition “The Dutch Italianates: 17th-century Masterpieces from Dulwich Picture Gallery, London” is opening Thursday at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, 415 Couch Drive.
The exhibit features 39 paintings from the collection of Dulwich Picture Gallery, England’s oldest purpose-built public art gallery. The Oklahoma City exhibition is the rare and final opportunity to see these 17th-century masterpieces, which have never been shown as a group in the United States prior to this traveling exhibit.
The exhibit includes amazing oil paintings by Dutch artists such as Cornelis van Poelenburch (1594/5-1667), Adam Pynacker (1620/1-1673), Nicolaes Berchem (1620-1683), Aelbert Cuyp (1620-1691) and others who were contemporaries of their revered countrymen Rembrandt Van Rijn (1606-1669) and Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675).
The Dutch Italianates chose to capture views of the Italian landscape of the 17th century as seen through their own eyes or imaginations.
The exhibit will be on view through Jan. 3.
