Seldom did one country produce so many comical paintings as the Netherlands did during the Dutch Golden Age.
People and animals misbehaving, being silly, naughty and laughing out loud can be seen in unprecedented numbers on Dutch Baroque genre paintings. The most famous of them all is currently honoured with an exhibition: Frans Hals; but there were many more!
Join us as we spot people playing a trick on each other, girls falling asleep on the job, children being children, girls completely love sick, unexpected hidden scenes of bare bottoms, people partying and having fun, dogs peeing in churches and more!
