Somwhat incmoplete, not?

This article seems to be little more than a stub, as it only mentions painting. In order to qualify for its title, "Dutch Art", it should have sections on, at least:

  • Ballet. (20th century)
  • Graphic art. (e.g. M.C. Escher)
  • Literature. (or a summary of/link to Dutch Literature)
  • Movies.
  • Music. (e.g: Sweelinck)
  • Photography (?)
  • Sculpture
  • Other art I have no current knowledge of.

As it is, the article suggests, that there has never been any art worth mentioning in the Netherlands/Low Countries, other than painting. --Lokimaros 14:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

True, except that, following usual practice, only the visual arts should be here - not ballet, literature, movies, music etc! Also needs references to loads of other articles which i expect exist. Or this should be just called "Dutch Golden Age Painting", & the little bits on later priods moved to a new article.


I have added refs to articles on earlier painting Early Netherlandish painting, and am writing an article about old master prints a huge Dutch area. Will link when article more finished, if I remember Johnbod 23:14, 28 October 2006

van Gogh?

Surely any history of Dutch art should include Vincent van Gogh? He has to be one of the most famous painters from the country, though I suppose his art is so different to the rest of Dutch art that I can see why people might not want to group it together with him, but he should probably be mentioned. Just a thought.

Yes...where is he? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.210.44.37 (talk) 11:26, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

So where is he??--Watisfictie (talk) 16:44, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Organizational Proposal

It would be nice if this page could be merged with Art of the Low Countries or Flemish painting. At least those pages have references. Also, the infobox template that begins with Flemish painting and supposedly covers the history of Dutch and Flemish art does not include anything beyond the Eighteenth century. I propose that Art of the Low Countries be made the head page for the template, which would then be modified to include articles on nineteenth and twentieth century dutch art (Symbolist painters such as Fernand Khnopff, Félicien Rops, and Jan Toorop ; De Stijl).(UTC)Lithoderm (talk) 15:34, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

"North Dutch school"

I'm working on an article, Pretoria Art Museum, mainly by translating the Afrikaans WP article to English - see Talk:Pretoria Art Museum. The gallery has a collection it describes as "17th century North Dutch school" but the source doesn't describe or define the term - http://www.pretoriaartmuseum.co.za/history.htm - I need some help to understand what they mean by that phrase. A Google search of the exact phrase "North Dutch school" couldn't come up with anything not connected to the Pretoria Art Museum. A search for "North Holland school" and "17th century" delivered references to cartography, not fine art. Roger (talk) 21:28, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

They mean Dutch as opposed to Flemish. Dutch Golden Age painting is our article. Johnbod (talk) 01:23, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! I'll include a link of course. Roger (talk) 05:25, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
