As a typical capitalist country, Netherland soon became a European trading hub connecting the East and the West while Amsterdam turned out to be the trade and culture center of Europe. In this period of time, lots of talented young artists who represented the so-called‘Dutch School’showed up including masters like Vermeer and Rembrandt, crowning the era with the title‘Dutch Golden Age’. The prosperous Dutch art then gave birth to landscape painting, genre painting, animal painting and still life painting which petty bourgeoisie favors more.
