Abstract
From March 28 to April 30, 2011, the Center Art Gallery at Calvin College presented "Light on New Netherland," a traveling exhibition produced by the New Netherland Institute to celebrate the quadricentennial of Henry Hudson's exploration. This exhibition provides insight into the role the Dutch played in the settlement and development of colonial America. In addition, the gallery will also feature a number of pain tings, decorative art objects, and artifacts from the Calvin College permanent collection and the Holland Museum collection in Holland, Michigan. These pieces help illustrate art and everyday life of the 17th century Dutch, as well as the revival of Dutch interest during the early 20th century known at Holland Mania. A three-part lecture series will run on Thursday nights, starting with Dutch Colonial Historian and Author, Dr. Jaap Jacobs.
