The Batavians Defeating the Romans on the Rhine, Otto van Veen, 1600 - 1613
In 1613, the Dutch parliament (States General) commissioned Otto van Veen to paint twelve paintings depicting the revolt of the Batavians against the Romans in AD 69 and 70. These were displayed in Binnenhof, the central government building in The Hague. In the early years of the Dutch Republic, many compared their own revolt against Spain to the Batavian uprising.

Man Smoking a Pipe, Gerard Dou, c. 1650
A young man leans on a window ledge, smoking a pipe and looking out at us. Dou was a master of illusionism. The open book on the sill seems to protrude from the window into our space, and the green curtain hanging from the copper rod is so realistically painted that we are tempted to draw it farther back. However, the painting’s small size gives away the deception.

Pair of marriage goblets with lids, anonymous, 1759
These goblets commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Jan Jacob van Westrenen and Johanna Catharina Mamuchet van Houdringe. The arms were executed with a diamond-point stylus, a small diamond chip in a holder used to incise the glass. This technique was common in the Netherlands in the 17th century.
Translation of inscription A: Best wishes and good cheer oh Noble couple on your Fiftieth Wedding Year.
Translation of inscription B: Despite the burden of so many years,

Matchlock musket, anonymous, 1600 - 1650
Alongside the production of standard weapons, during the 17th century gunmakers began to specialize in luxury firearms. They worked for rich patrons and made a good living in the process. For this reason, it is curious that so few of these luxury weapons were signed by their makers. The stock of this musket is inlaid with mother-of-pearl plaques with scenes of hunters and animals.
