The eighteenth century is the most international century in Dutch (art) history. This book, with 100
objects from the Rijksmuseum’s collection of eighteenth-century art and history, demonstrates this
perfectly – even if only by the iconic picture of a Dutch girl at breakfast painted in 1756 by Swiss
artist Jean-Etienne Liotard. Many other paintings, sculptures, pieces of furniture, silver and golden
showpieces, and other works of art were made in the Republic by artists from elsewhere. Here they
are placed beside some highlights from leading art centres: Paris, Rome, but also Neuwied, where
Abraham and David Roentgen made Europe’s most beautiful furniture.
