Continuing our viewing of the Met's European Paintings to 1800...
 |
The Met has five or six Vermeers--an entire wall--although
none are among the iconic ones, IMHO; but certainly more
Vermeers than any other museum; here, the Young Woman
with a Water Pitcher, 1662 |
 |
| Study of a Young Girl Sans Pearl Earring, 1665-67 |
 |
One of the more iconic Rembrandt selfies, #5,368; 1660; nearly a room full of various Rembrandts |
 |
Including this, his Aristotle with a Bust of Homer,
1653 |
 |
| Van Dyke, Self-Portrait, 1620 |
 |
Rubens, Rubens, Helena Fourment, and Son Frans, 1625;
holy family |
 |
| One of several Caravaggios...The Musicians, 1597 |
 |
Very early attributed to Caravaggio, Holy Family with
Infant Saint John the Baptist, early 1600s |
 |
Denial of Saint Peter, 1610; the guy on the left does not seem to
have gotten the "painter of light" memo; unfinished? |
 |
| Unusual El Greco; Cardinal Fernando Nino de Guevara, c. 1600 |
 |
Georges de La Tour, The Fortune Teller, 1630s; see his The Cheat at the Louvre;
a cautionary series... |
 |
| Claude Lorraine, Trojan Women Setting Fire to Their Fleet, 1643 |
 |
| Claude, Pastoral Landscape: the Roman Campagna, 1639 |
 |
| And another, of several: Sunrise, 1646 |
 |
| Poussin, The Abduction of the Sabine Women, 1634 |
 |
| High weirdness: Poussin, Blind Orion Searching for the Rising Sun, 1638 |
 |
| Jan Steen, a favorite of ours, The Lovesick Maiden, 1660 |
 |
| A rather unusually populated Hals, The Shrovetide Merrymakers, 1616 |
 |
| Another Steen, Merry Company on a Terrace, 1670 |
 |
| In the "Everyday Life" room |
 |
| Guido Reni, Charity, 1630; not everyday life |
 |
| Rubens, Lot and His Daughters, 1613 |
