Glasgow Museums has a collection of over 500 Dutch, Flemish and German paintings. These date broadly from 1450 to 1960. This collection relates to the region covered by the modern-day Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. It boasts works by many great artists, including Rembrandt, Rubens, Berchem and Lairesse. The largest part is the Dutch collection, one of the finest in the UK. This has about 191 works dating from 1600 to 1750, and a further 152 dating from 1750 to 1914. The 19th century Hague School is also represented, and the works form one of the best collections in the world outside the Netherlands. The Netherlandish and German sections are comparatively small but include works by Cranach, Bernard van Orley and Amberger. The majority of the 100 works from the Southern Netherlands – today Belgium – date from around the 17th century. The 25 German School paintings mainly date from the 16th to the 18th century.
