Agnes Etherington Art CentreThursday 22 October 20157-8 pm Amsterdam offered exceptional opportunities for painters to prosper through its diverse professional networks, multi-tiered art market, and international buying public. Dr Coutré will explore the city’s distinctive socio-economic and cultural profile in relation to the immense growth in the art market that attracted such artists as Rembrandt van Rijn, Jan Lievens, and Jacob van Ruisdael over the course of the century. This lecture is presented in conjunction with Artists in Amsterdam. This is Dr Coutré’s inaugural public lecture at Queen’s since joining the Agnes in April.
