Edmund de Waal, the author of "The Hare with the Amber Eyes", has chased his Eprussi family history. The Nazis stole a lot of possessions, and the Japanese Netsukes were only saved by their faithful domestic help in Vienna. Like his distant relative Charles Eprussi, he seeks to refine his art, the creation of fine porcelain and pottery.
Sorolla seemed to be a loving father and husband, and he cared for the socially challenged people in his surroundings.

Another post on the theme is Other Thoughts on Hospitals. Photos from the inside of Gødstrup Hospital in Denmark The foyer’s interior is decorated with various soft colours […]
I admire artists who were able to combine their art with a creative beautiful home.
Michael gave Anna room for her painting and today she is even more cherished for her use of light and colour

The Skovgaard Family Some families seem to be able to produce so much talent in generations. One of those families is the Skovgaard family. In Viborg Cathedral, you can see frescos made by Joakim Skovgaard (1856-1933). The decoration in the church is one of the hugest church works in Denmark. In my childhood, before I could read, I often looked […]

The pictures I share are not organised in all these categories, just an expression of what I […]

My husband and I were on a memorable trip last year to different States on the East coast of the U.S.A. As an introduction to the museum, I will share some pictures from the walk to the museum on a sunny Sunday in […]
