Douwes Fine Art - Philosophy

During more than two centuries of art dealing, our family motto has been to share the beauty art by means of a public gallery.

Instead of specializing in only one era or style, we endeavour to use our elaborate expertise of five centuries of painting. This allows us to offer a great variety of Dutch, Flemish, French and Russian works of art. Not only do we have important, rare and expensive paintings, even for as little as five hundred euro we aim to enthuse any young collector.

Douwes Fine Art aims to lower the threshold and to provide expertise to a large public. We do this while maintaining consistently high-quality works of art in our collection.

"It is a privilege to be working with beautiful objects and to be meeting people on an international scale

I see it as my calling and duty to let society share the beauty of the past through works of art and be able to enjoy and own these paintings

By definition we will have to carry on the tradition of the past

The inspiration and passion should feed our zest for life"
