Dear Beth and Steven, At that time the province of Holland was part of the Dutch Republic. So your map is inacurate. To refer to the Netherlands by using the name 'Holland' is of a later date. Kind regards, Erik

I like this way of comparing and looking at Baroque art. It seems opportunities are always arising for art to be remade, in this case for Rembrandt after the destruction of art in church.

Thank you for this and all your clips! They are interesting and informative. Perfect for classroom use. I appreciate how you tie the social/political aspect of the era into the presentations.
