Dulwich Picture Gallery
The Dulwich Picture Gallery, founded by art dealer Noel Desenfans and painter Sir Francis Bourgeois in 1811 and located in a structure constructed by Sir John Soane, is the world's first purpose-built public art gallery. With works dating from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries, the Gallery has one of the best collections of Old Master paintings in the UK. Art by Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck, David Teniers the Younger, Peter Lely, Rembrandt, and Aelbert Cuyp are among the 228 items in the important collection of Dutch and Flemish paintings.
The collection is known for its extensive holdings of Dutch Italianate landscapes, as well as some Rubens sketches. Rembrandt's Girl at a Window, Van Dyck's Samson and Delilah, and Gerrit Dou's Woman Playing the Clavichord is among the collection's highlights. Michiel Jonker and Ellinor Bergvelt wrote a thorough catalog of the Dutch and Flemish collection, which was printed in 2016 and released online as part of the RKD's Gerson Digital initiative in 2021.
