What to look for
Dutch Golden Age: Flemish and Italian Baroque is grand, religious and full of movement; Dutch painting is smaller, calmer and about everyday life, with cool daylight and precise detail.
Pieter Hendricksz. de Hooch (bapt. 20 December 1629 – in or after 1679), was a Dutch Golden Age painter famous for his genre works of quiet domestic scenes with an open doorway. He was a contemporary, in the Delft Guild of St. Luke, of Jan Vermeer with whom his work shares themes and style. Wikipedia
