‘People Are Here Being Crushed for the Love of Art’ — História e Análise

Para estimular a apreciação da arte holandesa, Luís Napoleão (o rei da Holanda entre 1806 e 1810) tomou a iniciativa de organizar exposições de obras de artistas holandeses contemporâneos. A primeira delas, aqui retratada, foi montada no Palácio Real na Praça Dam e foi inundada de visitantes. No dia da abertura desta exposição, o palácio também abriu o Museu Real, predecessor do Rijksmuseum, que também foi acomodado lá.
