Following the success of Rembrandt in Iran [link to Flash slideshow], the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands commissioned Ashtary Design to do a follow-up exhibit that places Rembrandt in the context of his era. That era is commonly known as the Dutch Golden Age.

In the 17th century, when Rembrandt was painting, the Dutch were the world’s most active merchants with ships and traders all over the world. The evidence of that time also makes its way into the paintings of the time. This exhibit will examine the social and economic conditions that made the Duth Golden Age so notable.

The exhibit will travel throughout Iran starting shortly after the Iranian new year which falls on March 21st. For more information contact us at tori AT ashtarydesign Dot com.
