The 18th Century
1700-1800
No longer a world power, the Netherlands now invested its profits in possessions such as beautiful houses. In the eighteenth century, the interior became a focus of keen interest. The period was characterized by the refinement and cultivation of good taste. These were manifested particularly in the interior domain, with virtuosic arts and crafts objects and personal portraits.
