#Eeneeuwvanlicht, mijn biografie van #ChristiaanHuygens. Deze week uit!

@EdnaMacLoy @johandewittNL Bedankt.
Chocolade, geen kans, jammer. Maar heb je ooit dit gezien?

#otd 1672 Christiaan Huygens in Paris, hearing rumours that Cornelis de Witt is dead (he soon will be), writes to his brother wanting to be kept informed of ‘everything that is happening in our miserable country’, as Louis XIV’s army reaches Amsterdam #rampjaar

@LauraCummingArt They are magnificent. Here’s a painting I liked (@astrupfearnley Museet, I think; by Einar Berger). Midnight sun, but no northern lights when I was there.

Picture quiz!
Daily until Easter Monday, details of pictures that are shown or get a mention in my forthcoming #DutchLight: Christiaan Huygens and the Making of Science in Europe. First some general scene-setting . . . where are these places?
1/8

Andrew Marvell writing in 1677 about naval trouble-stirrer and rotten-borough MP for Newtown, Isle of Wight, Sir Robert Holmes, ‘cursed beginner of the two Dutch wars’. Luckily, we don’t have MPs like this now (one for @MarinaHyde?). (Portrait by Lely @RMGreenwich)

I’ve been enjoying this series on painter techniques, so far featuring Coorte, Turner, van Eyck. I expect you would too, @LauraCummingArt @philipcball @SellaTheChemist https://t.co/BMGxZ0RrrO

#otd 1688 William of Orange invades with his army, landing in Devon. His secretary Huygens wrote: ‘We landed at a village called Braxton [Brixham]. It is very simple. Its few decayed houses are built of stone ... We dined this evening on very tough fricassé of lamb.’

Aha. An inspiring distraction has arrived, @AmySackville’s Painter to the King. My third book about Velasquez in recent months, but why not? This is a detail of The Surrender of Breda.
