The Old Dutch Masters

 Here we have a painting by Rembrandt. A Jewish Heroine From The Hebrew Bible dates to 1632-33.

Looking very 17th century, mind you.


Another Dutch master: Jan van Goyen. Castle By A River was done in 1648.


Philips Wouwerman painted Travelers Resting around 1648-50.


The Return Of The Prodigal Son is by Jan Weenix, dating to 1668, depicting the parable of the New Testament.


Jacob van Ruisdael painted a landscape that certainly was not Dutch in this work, Waterfall, done in the 1660s.


From the Dutch to the Italians. Finishing off today, here we have The Church Of Santa Maria della Salute, Venice, by Francesco Guardi, circa 1780-85. We'll pick up here tomorrow. And sufficed to say, one guess what my take on the Museum theme is for May 1st.

    I would live in Ottawa, just to be close to Rembrandt's "Jewish Heroine From The Hebrew Bible" and Jan Weenix's "The Return Of The Prodigal Son".

    A museum theme is so broad it could be almost anything.

      True, and here we have a good amount of museums, from national to local museums.
