Excerpt from The Art of the Netherland Galleries: Being a History of the Dutch School of Painting Illuminated and Demonstrated by Critical Descriptions of the Great Paintings in the Many Galleries The wonderful and unique art of the Dutch school of the 17th century can nowhere be studied so completely as in the Netherland Galleries. It is true that the universal recognition of this peculiarly national art has scattered many treasures broadcast. We find in the 345 paintings of this school which the Louvre possesses 121 of the 17th century Dutch artists represented. The National Gallery in London shows the work of 93 of these men, while the Metropolitan Museum of New York displays the work of 48 of these artists. But the most complete array of the product of this golden age of art as practised in the Low Lands is found in the Ryks Museum of Amsterdam, with its 2,000 paintings of the 17th century, by over 200 artists.
