Cultural Note
The Dutch 'Gouden Eeuw' (Golden Age, 17th century) was a period of immense wealth, cultural achievement, and global trading power. Masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer painted during this tijdperk. Today there is debate about renaming it, as this wealth partly came from colonialism and slavery.
