Rijksmuseum Staging First-Ever Retrospective of Adriaen van de Velde’s Work

From June 24 to Sept. 25, Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum will present the first major exhibition of works by Golden Age landscape painter Adriaen van de Velde (1636-1672). The artist, who died young, was an expert painter of people and animals; and found fame posthumously. The exhibit will include 60 paintings, preliminary studies, and drawings.
