Monday Mural

A mural or a caral? I noticed this van in front of me and these men from the Golden Age looking at me.

It is an advertisement for an exhibition in the Hermitage Museum in Amsterdam. They look very handsom with their white starched collars. The Golden Age was in the Netherlands the 17th Century, an era of economic and cultural prosperity in the Dutch Republic.

    A van full of men from another age, I see. They do look handsome and that looks like a print of some really great artwork.

    One would have to call this a classic Mercedes van with those images.

    and I think you have caught the eye of a couple. The only two Dutch artist from that period that I could name would be Rembrandt and Fran Hals....

    Our golden age was the late 1800's and early 1900's. Not everyone end up with gold.
