Dutch and Flemish Paintings from the Susan and Matthew Weatherbie Collection
Text by Peter C. Sutton.
Exceptional works from the Boston-based couple’s collection, a tribute to the Golden Age of Flemish and Dutch culture
A woman gazing squarely at the artist, arm akimbo; a lush tablescape with oysters and sweets; a sweeping view of Haarlem under a grand sky; and an intimate tavern scene. These are just a few of the scenes from the 36-piece painting collection of Susan and Matthew Weatherbie—which, as a whole, celebrates the flourishing of the arts in Belgium and the Netherlands during the 17th century. After 20 years of conscientious accumulation, the Boston-based couple donated the majority of their impressive collection to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 2017. Featuring exquisite reproductions alongside entries by a preeminent scholar in the field, Timeless Splendor offers an invitation to explore works by Frans Hals, Jan Brueghel the Elder, Anthony van Dyck, Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Steen, among others. A scholarly resource, the publication features detailed provenance, catalog entries, artist biographies and reflections by the collectors themselves.
