Scene of 16th Century Trade with the Dutch in a Middle Eastern Port. The Dutch Golden Age was a period in the history of the Netherlands, roughly spanning the era from 1581 (the birth of the Dutch Republic) to 1672 (the Rampjaar, "Disaster Year"). Amsterdam's dominant position as a trade center was strengthened in 1640 with a monopoly for the Dutch East India Company (VOC) for trade between China and Japan.
