From 8 February until 20 May 2024 Roelant Savery's Wondrous World, featuring over 40 paintings and drawings, including works on loan from museums in the Netherlands and abroad, will introduce visitors to this highly versatile artist. He was a pioneer in many fields and introduced several new themes to Dutch painting. He made the Netherlands’ first floral still life and was the most notable painter of the legendary (extinct) dodo. His painted landscapes are often like a fairytale and his animal paintings include so many species that it would be an understatement to describe them as 'crowded'.
