Today’s featured event:
See the special exhibition “The Dutch Italianates: 17th-century Masterpieces from Dulwich Picture Gallery, London” opening today 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 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.
