Around 1600, a group of artists and intellectuals from the Dutch city of Haarlem took Dutch Art to new heights. Influenced by Michelangelo and Italian art, contorted forms, dramatic scenes, and over-the-top composition took their place amid the gentile Dutch art of that period.

Discussing some of the favorite artists of Sabry Amroussi, join him as he shares the secrets of this overlooked band of brothers. Together we will revel in the work of Cornelis van Haarlem, Hendrik Goltzius, and other mavericks – a necessary experience for any lover of Dutch Art. 

Sabry Amroussi is an art historian and writer living and working in Amsterdam. He specializes in the art of the Dutch Golden Age, mainly in the works of Rembrandt and his school, and has a keen interest in the Jewish history of Amsterdam. He lectures and teaches on both subjects and gives art historical tours all across Europe. As a true omnivore when it comes to art, culture, and even cuisine, he has worked with and for major museums and collectors, such as the LACMA, Rijksmuseum, van Gogh Museum and the P de Boer collection in Amsterdam. As a guide for Context, he is eager to share this knowledge in real life, always with a big scoop of humor, ofter intermingling art with social life, cuisine, and history.
