The Dutch Masters

This is the entrance to the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia where the Dutch Masters from the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam are on display. All of the works are from the 17th century and include several Rembrandt's. Melbourne's Official Visitors' Guide states that this forms "the most comprehensive display of 17th century Dutch art ever seen in Australia." Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibit and was reminded again and again that these painters truly understood the meaning of the word "excellence." The attention to detail and quality were almost beyond comprehension.
