Seventeenth-century Dutch paintings testify to a far-reaching obsession with Asia's riches and wonders. When remnants of the White Lion ? shipwrecked in 1613 ? were discovered in 1976, no traces were found of its 15,000 bags of peppers, hundreds of kilos of spices, thousands of bales of silk, or 1317 diamonds. But thousands of pieces of blue-and-white Chinese porcelain were brought to the surface, some still in pristine condition.
This lecture by Hilda van Neck-Yoder, Ph.D., will explore how the lure of exotic luxury objects dramatically influenced Dutch art.
