The Dutch School were painters in the
Netherlands from the early Renaissance to the Baroque. It includes Early
Netherlandish (1400–1500) and Dutch Renaissance (1500–1584) artists active in
the northern Low Countries and, later, Dutch Golden Age painting in the United
Provinces.
Many
painters, sculptors and architects of the seventeenth century are called
"Dutch masters", while earlier artists are generally referred to as
part of the "Netherlandish" tradition. Hieronymus Bosch and Geertgen
tot Sint Jans are well-known examples of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Dutch
painters. Rembrandt van Rijn, Frans Hals, Johannes Vermeer, Jacob van Ruisdael
and Jan Steen exemplify art during the seventeenth century. An individual
work's being labelled or catalogued as "Dutch School" without further
attribution indicates that an individual artist for the work cannot be
ascertained.
There was a healthy artistic climate in Dutch cities during
the seventeenth century. For example, between 1605 and 1635 over 100,000
paintings were produced in Haarlem. At that time art ownership in the city was
25%, a record high. Not all of these have survived, but more art has survived
up to today from that period in Haarlem than from any other Dutch city, thanks
mostly to the Schilder-boeck published by Karel van Mander there in 1604. More on The
