Not being able to travel, I am able to draw from two years old pictures taken at that fine museum

In this blog comes two categories, European and American art. It’s hard to imagine that these paintings and pieces of art are so old. Each one is a masterpiece.

European Art 1428-1675

Johannes Vermeer, Dutch (1632-1675). A Lady Writing c. 1660

Johannes Vermeer, Dutch (1632-1675). Woman Holding a Balance c.1664

Rembrandt Van Rijn, (Dutch 1606-1669) A Young Man Seated at a Table c. 1660

It’s hard to imagine that these paintings and pieces of art are so old. Each one is a masterpiece.

These are all French impressionists. People all over the world come in long lines to any museum which has a new Impressionist exhibition. In their time, they were not valued and always struggled to find a venue that would show their creations.

American Art 

Poppies, isles of Shoals 1891, Childe Hassam, American, 1859-1935

The House Maid, William McGregor Paxton, American, 1869-1941

The Seamstress by Joseph Rodefer deCamp, American, 1858-1923

John Singer Sargent, American, 1856-1925. Setting out to fish 1878

Allies Day, May 1917 by Childe Hassam, American 1859-1935

I fell in love with the American artists who were new to me. If there will be “the next time,” I will at once go back to this exceptional museum.
