Amazing to think it’s 100 years since the first performance of this astonishing piece, L'homme et son désir by Milhaud. Try it if you only know Le Boeuf or Scaramouche. Total immersion in the Brazilian jungle. #Modernism #Primitivism https://t.co/dqnVE7Bf2l
I’m giving a talk on Christiaan Huygens, his family, discoveries, inventions and milieu for @MuseumHofwijck
and the @TheArtsSociety_ on his birthday this Wednesday 14 April (NB 19.00 GMT, not 20.00). Via Zoom. Free! Register here: https://t.co/rD5WR8gKaY
@jdmccafferty Perhaps you saw the ep of Het Geheim van de Meester where they looked at one of Coorte’s other asparagus paintings (abridged here: https://t.co/OOzizWljuq)
Surprisingly, given its great 17th-century landscape paintings, ‘Dutch light’ seems to have been the invention of visiting French artists in the 19th century. Monet visited Holland three times, and produced canvases of windmills and tulip fields.
#MuseumsUnlocked Dutch Fair on Yarmouth Beach, George Vincent, 1821 (@timetidemuseum). Trading ships pulled up on the sand for a bustling market that can last only for the duration of a low tide. Nelson’s (original) column in the background.
Over mijn #Huygens boek #Eeneeuwvanlicht stelt @eos_wetenschap: ‘na het lezen van dit heerlijke boek vraag je je inderdaad af waarom er nergens een groot standbeeld staat voor de held van nederlandse natuurkunde’. Superleuk!
