Golden Age Of Dutch Art- Emergence Of English Art

The history of Dutch Art is really quite fascinating to me and as I have discovered one could spend a very long time discussing various aspects of its history. However, I have restricted myself to mentioning some key dates of Dutch Art. In the early part of the 17th. century Dutch Art was the main focus of the art world and English Art was yet to be born, i.e. in the sense that some of our most famous artist of this era did not emerge until the early 18th.century.
Chronological : Reynolds 1723 ,Stubbs 1724, Gainsborough 1729, Romney 1734, Raeburn (The Scottish Reynolds) 1756, Morland 1763, Crome 1769, Turner 1775, and Constable 1776. The 17th. century was the Golden Age of Dutch Art (1600-1680's)
Amongst the many artists of the Dutch period were Rembrandt, Wm. Kaif (still lifes), Adriaen van Ostade (Flemish peasant scenes) Gerard Terborch Jnr. (Dutch interiors), Albert Cuyp & Jakob van Ruisdael (specialized in landscapes), to name a few of the most notable...there were many,many more.
Despite the quantity and quality of art in the Netherlands in a matter of less than one hundred years Dutch art fell into a decline in the 18th. and 19th. centuries (which was triumphantly reversed by the arrival of the expressionist genius of Van Gogh in the late 19th.century and Piet Mondrian in the 2oth. century.) The decline of the Dutch art in the late 17th.century was due to the emergence of English and French art which had become too powerful for the Dutch . Notably in the early 18th. century Wm. Hogarth was emerging as one of Englands most popular and acclaimed painters.
