Year: 1633
Movement: Dutch Golden Age
Location: Whereabouts unknown since 1990
The Dutch Golden Age shares a lot with the Baroque period. Not only do they share the same time period, but they also share many characteristics, including the use of shadows and drama. The Dutch Golden Age is marked by richness, movement and tension.
On March 18, 1990, two thieves posing as police officers entered Boston’s Stewart Gardner Museum pretending to respond to a security threat. The museum staff was tied up, and the thieves made away with around $500 million worth of stolen art from the likes of Manet, Degas and Vermeer. Among them was Rembrandt’s work. Unfortunately, none of these works have been retrieved.
