Gabriel Metsu: Rediscovered Master of the Dutch Golden Age

From 03 Sep 2010 to 04 Dec 2010

4 September - 5 December 2010. The National Gallery's much anticipated autumn exhibition celebrates the work of 17th century Dutch painter Gabriel Metsu (1629-1667).

Although Metsu died at the age of 37, he left behind a rich artistic legacy which is considered today to be one of the finest of the Dutch Golden Age.

The exhibition, organised in collaboration with Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum and Washington's National Gallery of Art, features 40 of the artist's paintings, on loan from international collections and including a number of recently discovered works.
