3/3 And in Ochtervelt, there's always a dog! And often the same one. Good dog!
Alas, alack! Depantsed man weeps in the distance as crowd of women fight over his trousers. Humor of the Dutch Golden Age by Adriaen van de Venne, whose day is today.
3/3 The man himself: Adriaen van de Venne. Born in Delft in 1599, we learn. Here, looking properly successful in 1649. And died OTD in 1662.
2/2 Figure of Charity completely ignores the cat that is tormenting one of her children. Bad parenting! By Cornelis van Haarlem, whose day was today.
2/2 The man himself: William Hogarth, in 1735. Today was his day.
2/2 The Countess's husband sips his morning chocolate. Possibly the most ridiculous-looking man in 18th-century painting. Or ever. Well done, William Hogarth, & happy birthday!
2/2 Village by moonlight, from Aert van der Neer of Amsterdam. Today is his day.
2/2 A little glimpse of nighttime along the river. Plus windmill, because we’re in Holland with Aert van der Neer.
2/2 Skaters & kolf-players on a frozen river outside a village, 1648, by Aert van der Neer. It's his day today.
