One last painting from inside the Baroque Room today. The Arrest Of Christ is by Matthias Stom, painted around 1630-32, with a dramatic combination of shadow and light.
Mary Magdalen was painted by Domenico Puligo circa 1520-25.
This portrait is by Agnolo Bronzino. Pierantonio Bandini was done circa 1550-55.
Landscape With Two Watermills is by the Dutch artist Meindert Hobbema, painted around 1670. I still remember a chat years ago with a docent about this painting- what looks like an empty landscape is in fact filled with people when you really start looking.
Paulus Bor painted The Annunciation Of The Virgin's Death around 1635-40.
A Sermon In The Old Church In Delft dates around 1650, by Emanuel de Witte.
We end today with this work from the workshop of Peter Paul Rubens. Christ dates circa 1612.
Made me think of some of the comments I read about this year's opening ceremony at the Olympics.
