The importance of the exhibition lies in the fact that for the first time works by Flemish and Dutch painters inspired by Greek antiquity were jointly displayed. Paintings by Rembrandt, Ferdinand Bol and Jan Steen were exhibited alongside representative examples of the art of Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, Jan Brueghel I and Jacob Jordaens, providing an opportunity for insightful observation and comparisons. Undoubtedly, emphasis was placed on art from the famous Golden Age of Dutch painting, that is, the 17th century. Many characteristic works from the 16th century were also on display, the time when themes from classical Antiquity were introduced to the repertory of artists in the Netherlands.<br \/>\nThe exhibition comprised 74 paintings from leading international public and private collections (London, Paris, Antwerp, Budapest, Copenhagen, Madrid, Vienna, all museums in the Netherlands and most in Germany, as well as New York, Washington and Hartford) \u2013 even a private collection in Japan, in the case of Rembrandt\u2019s Athena.<\/p>\n<p>Exhibition Curators: Dr. Peter J.
