Getting started with the collection:
Tazza (footed drinking cup) with a Gathering of the Olympian Gods
Ernst Jansz van Vianen (active 1602–1637) after a design by Paulus, Willemsz van Vianen (c. 1570–1613), Utrecht, 1602, silver
Paulus van Vianen spent most of his career in the service of rulers outside the Netherlands, but this drinking cup proves that artistic developments in his workshop were closely followed on the home front. He conceived the design for this composition the same year that this cup was executed in Utrecht by his nephew Ernst Jansz van Vianen.
