The 17 th  Century :  The Dutch Century Early in the 17 th  Century, the Dutch had some conflict between opposing religious groups, however, by the end of the century religions including Catholics, Protestants and Jewish lived peacefully throughout the country.  The Dutch used religion and everyday life as common themes in art including this painting by Rembrandt  Portrait of an Old Man in Red.
Dutch Economy The Dutch were known for being masters of the carrying trade especially since they had the lowest shipping rates in all of Europe.  Just like the famous  Girl with the pearl earring  by Vermeer, the Dutch were known for exporting luxury items including diamonds, pottery and linens.  The economy did not experience much inflation which gave the Dutch a chance to initiate the land reclamation project which helped gain land from the below sea level area.
Quality of Life in Holland The Dutch had the highest standard of living in Europe in the 17 th  century. Still Life with Gilt Goblet William Heda, 1635

Prior to the Dutch Golden Age, the Portuguese monopolized the trade routes of the world.  The first of the Dutch to reach the Spice Islands was a group led by Cornelis de Houtman.  There, they found West Java, an island known for its pepper.  While the Dutch looked to create a positive trade relationship, the Indonesians and Portuguese disliked the Dutch infringement.  The Dutch then sailed to northern Java, yet half the crew was killed in a Japanese attack.  After all this, Houtman was able to sail back to make a positive profit.
During the Golden Age of the Dutch, the East India Company had a positive relationship with the Chinese and their famous porcelain pieces in the early 1600s.  At the time, the highest class could only afford these imports, but when the trade was interrupted by the death of a Chinese emperor, Dutch potters began to create their own porcelain.  In the town of Delft, the famous Delftware flourished and continues to be a staple of the Dutch beautiful exports.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek:  The Microscope & the Discovery of Micro-Organisms Influenced Galileos findings
University of Leiden, 1575 The largest university in the Protestant world at the time. The Dutch educational system was free from the restrains of the church therefore, many topics of interest could be studied without interference.
The Dutch Federation Regents Held most power Promoters of local independence Stadholders In charge of defense and order One representative from each province States General Federal Assembly In charge of foreign affairs
(detail) Anatomy Lecture of  Dr. Nicolaes Tulp    Rembrandt, 1632 Because of the lack of religious influence in education, the Dutch excelled in studying the human body .
Dutch Optics:  The Telescope  Hans Lipperhey
Jan Vermeer and Optics It is thought that Vermeer used the use of new discovery in optics to help create his paintings.  It is also thought that he would use these lenses to project his subject onto a canvas to be completely accurate.
