Second Canvas Fine Arts Belgium app starts this voyage of discovery in the Dutch Golden Age. The application was developed in regard of the opening (February 2019) of a renovated wing of the Musée Old Masters Museum which is entirely dedicated to a hundred paintings from the ‘Dutch school’ of the 17th century.
The five works of art that are currently being offered via the Second Canvas app show that, in addition to Rembrandt and Frans Hals, less well-known contemporaries also left beautiful paintings.
