Scottish National Gallery

We were impressed with the Scottish National Gallery in 2013, and were sure to visit it again during our 2019 stay in Edinburgh. As is often the case, I took pretty much the same pix of the same paintings, same angles, same framing, lighting, etc., as in 2013. This happens often, and I'm never sure whether to laugh at myself, marvel at my consistency over the years, or perhaps seek professional counseling. Anyhow, from this 2019 visit to the Scottish National Gallery, I will post only some of the master-works that I omitted from the 2013 account...still omitting a Rembrandt, a Canaletto, some Poussins, et al. It's a marvelous museum.

Intriguing...Madonna and Child, by the "Master of the
Embroidered Foliage," later 15th, oil on panel, the foreground
detail reminiscent of van Eyck; even more interesting, the
Madonna is not in her usual color-coded blue...

Filippino Lippi, Nativity with Two Angels, very late 15th; really nice angel wing
treatment

Never miss a Cranach; Allegory of Melancholy, 1528

Also never miss an Avercamp; characteristic Netherlands winter scene, early 17th

I can't believe I missed a Velasquez! An Old Woman Cooking Eggs, 1618; an
early work but the genius is already showing

Guido Reni, Infant Moses with Pharaoh's Crown, 1640, possibly unfinished

Poussin, Mystic Marriage of St. Catherine, 1629

There's a whole room of Poussin's large Seven Sacraments series; I tried doing a
panoramic shot, but it wouldn't go; so here's Penitence; notice they're dining
on triclinia, like Romans; I guess I did post this last time; sorry!

Rembrandt Self-Portrait #1,836

Franz Hals' Portrait of Pieter Verdonck, 1666

Pieter Saenredum, Interior of St. Bavo's Cathedral, Haarlem,
1648

What's cute is the painter's signature, done as if it were graffiti on the base of the
column, lower left

Sargeant's Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, 1893; as good as
Impressionist portraiture gets, methinks

Never miss a Watteau...Robber of the Sparrow's Nest, 1712

Allan Ramsay's Jean-Jacques Rousseau; Rousseau stayed with
Hume during one of the former's exiles; the portrait was later
given to Hume; intellectual giants of the age; one wonders what
they talked about

Obligatory Canaletto

van Gogh, Orchard in Blossom, Arles, 1888

Paul Gauguin, Martinique Landscape, 1887

Monet, Poplars on the River Epte, 1891
