is located in a monumental, early 20th century house in the center of Arnhem. We are specialised in Dutch decorative arts of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco period, from approximately 1880 till 1925. Our collection consists mostly of sculptures and ceramics from this period, from known Dutch potteries like Amstelhoek, Arnhemsche Fayence, Haga, The Distel and Rozenburg Den Haag.
\nThe highlights of our collection are the famous eggshell porcelain pieces of Rozenburg Den Haag<\/a><\/span>. Besides sculptures and ceramics, we also offer paintings, watercolours and drawings from the 19th and 20th century.<\/p>\n<\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/proportiodivina.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Hal-Small.jpg\" "\\"Hal")

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>History of the Proportio Divina art gallery<\/h4>\n
Proportio Divina Art Gallery was founded by Marc Knook in 2004.
\nWe started off with a sizeable collection of Dutch earthenware from the Art Nouveau period. Quite soon this collection was expanded with several pieces of Rozenburg eggshell porcelain. By 2007 we had no less than 50 pieces in our collection.
\nIn the same year we loaned several unique eggshell porcelain vases to the The Hague Gemeentemuseum, for the art exhibition \u2018Rozenburg-Plateel from The Hague circles<\/a><\/span>\u2019 (October 2007 \u2013 March 2008).
\nLater that year, we came up with the idea to hold a \u2018one night only\u2019 sales exhibition with the Rozenburg eggshell collection at the Gemeentemuseum. This exhibition,\u00a0 called \u2018A Night at the Museum<\/a><\/span>\u2019, took place on December 14th 2007. The guest list contained 222 names, but this number rapidly rose to almost 300 during the evening!

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Collaboration with museums<\/h4>\n

We have sold artworks to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts<\/span><\/a>, the Philadelphia Museum of Art<\/a><\/span>, the The Hague Gemeentemuseum<\/a><\/span> and the The Hague Historical museum<\/a><\/span>.
\nWe regularly loan works from our own collection, as well as from private collections of our relations, to museums for exhibitions. Our artworks were shown at the \u2018Made in Holland<\/a><\/span>\u2019 exhibition in the Princessehof Ceramics Museum, the \u2018Art Nouveau in Holland<\/a><\/span>\u2019 exhibition in the The Hague Gemeentemuseum, the \u2018Chris Lebeau, Flora & Fauna<\/a><\/span>\u2019 exhibition in the Tilburg Textile Museum and at the \u2018Nude or Naked<\/a><\/span>?\u2019 exhibition in the Jan Cunen Museum in Oss.

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The Hague Salon<\/h4>\n
In 2015, Proportio Divina, in collaboration with Antes Art 1900<\/span><\/a> and G.J. Nieuwenhuizen Segaar Art Gallery<\/span><\/a>, opened an Art Nouveau and Art Deco gallery in The Hague, called \u2018The Hague Salon<\/a><\/span>\u2019, at the Laan van Meerdervoort 41. The Hague Salon had a flying start, with a successful first exhibition and a \u2018Private Dinner\u2019, in late January 2015. Some time later, Stylo Gallery<\/a><\/span>, which specialises in vintage posters, joined The Hague Salon. Stylo gallery provides a rich addition to the Salon with its remarkable, old and original posters. The extensive, collaborative collection of Art Nouveau and Art Deco objects at The Hague Salon contains vintage posters, remarkable and exclusive furniture, French and Dutch art glass, sculptures, earthenware, porcelain, lamps and paintings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6400","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nAbout us - Dutch Art Nouveau and Art Deco | Proportio Divina Art Gallery<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Want to know more about Proportio Divina?
