The Hermitage Amsterdam shows at the moment an incredible exhibition of the Dutch Masters of the Golden Age paintings from the St. Petersburg collection of the Hermitage. Tsarina Catherina the Great (1729-1796) bought in her time many Dutch paintings among which many of Rembrandt, as this one, never seen in our country for 350 years. No fewer than 63 works are brought to Amsterdam for an unique exhibition.
This one is made by Pieter Lastman. His name sounded familar to me as I lived my whole youth in Amsterdam in a street named after him.
Dois belos quadros.

Their painting skills are amazing.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenFrankly, as the descendant of Jews who were severely persecuted under the damned czar, I cannot think of that regime without muttering a curse. On the other hand, your Amsterdam has long been a tolerant, progressive, wise city of science, art, ideas, and invention and I will always feel a love in my heart for Amsterdam and her people!!! ALOHA & Shalom
