Van Ruisdael's Landscape with Waterfall; landscape painting matured with the Dutch and alas my sample won't reflect much of their greatness |
Claude Lorrain's Harbor View at Sunrise; Lorrain is a favorite of mine; not Dutch |
Rembrandt's very, very famous Isaac and Rebecca, or the Jewish Bride |
And then the Vermeers... |
The Kitchen Maid |
Even a little street scene |
Pieter de Hooch, A Mother's Duty (checking for lice) |
The Rijksmuseum is not only about paintings (although that would be plenty); here, some exquisite porcelain |
Six foot high flower holders |
And the incredible doll houses |
Detail |
And a pretty incredible ship model, Vicki posing for scale |

Yea! So glad to read blog posts again! Looks like you are having a great time. I loved all the photos from the museums, and wish we were still having fun with you.
Cara tried on wedding dresses today for the first time, so we spent a long time looking at photos a friend took of her in each dress. Oh, my, think I will encourage her to elope!
Hugs to you both. We miss you!
