Dutch Golden Age
The Dutch Golden Age was the period, roughly the seventeenth century, when the Dutch Republic was among the richest and most powerful states in Europe. Amsterdam dominated world trade and finance, the East and West India Companies built an overseas empire, and the Republic led Europe in science, publishing and painting, with artists such as Rembrandt, Vermeer and Frans Hals. It faded after the French invasion of 1672 and the costly wars that followed.
