Pompeius Occo, Dirck Jacobsz, c. 1531
Pompeius Occo developed into a key figure in the Northern European economy and was one of Amsterdam’s most prosperous residents. From around 1511, he represented the successful banking and trading house of the Augsburg Fuggers in this emerging metropolis. Occo’s portrait expresses the generally prevailing awareness that all worldly prosperity is transient. His left hand rests almost tenderly on a skull.

A Coastal Ruin in Italy, Jan Asselijn, 1640 - 1652
A favourite motif of the Italianates was a small harbour on the Mediterranean Sea with a crumbling quay and a ruin. At right are an African man and a couple of Turkish traders. At the left, a man in northern European clothing gestures out to sea. Overseas trade stimulated an interest for such scenes among Dutch collectors, even though the views were imaginary.

Seven plates from the service of Stadtholder William v, Meissener Porzellan Manufaktur, c. 1772 - c. 1774
These seven plates are from a 435-part service owned by Stadtholder William v of Orange. The service was produced in Meissen between 1772 and 1774, possibly on commission for the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The plates bear scenes of various Dutch cities and buildings, as well as views of Java and Ceylon, then important Company territories.
