1 SUMMER 2018

2 EXHIBITIONS 1 OPENING AT THE GETTY CENTER Masterful Likeness: Dutch Drawings of the Golden Age During the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age, a period defi ned by economic prosperity and political and religious freedom, the art market fl ourished. Praised for their artful portrayal of the world around them, Dutch artists met the demand for luxury goods by producing vast numbers of paintings as well as highly fi nished drawings. This selection of landscapes, topographical views, portraits, and scenes of daily life showcase how drawings helped shaped the emerging national identity of the Dutch Republic. July 24 October 28, 2018 Museum, West Pavilion All that Glitters: Life at the Renaissance Court Courtiers feasting at lavish tables, knights in gleaming armor: these images are emblematic of the Renaissance courts of Europe. However, life at court was governed by many codes of conduct. The monarch affi rmed his political authority through pageantry, and leisure activities, including hunting and jousting, were subject to strict social hierarchies. This exhibition explores how the luxury arts in a variety of media, from illuminated manuscripts to textiles, constructed the identities of the nobility at the center of these exclusive spaces.
