Dr. Peter Paul Rubensさんのイラストまとめ

One of the many amazing site drawings by Pieter Saenredam (born OTD in 1597): the Cathedral, Utrecht.

3/3 The man himself: Jacob van Es of Antwerp, here heralded as a fine painter of fruits, fish, birds, and flowers. Not really so many birds, to be fair. Print by Wenceslas Hollar.

2/2 Getting crazy with his carrot by the well!

3/3 Meanwhile, we're having fun back in the inn. Although there is dead meat there too! Bit of a theme here, The Flesh.

2/2 Behind the meat in Pieter Aertsen's stall, Mary gives bread to a beggar while traveling to Egypt. Modern people, on their way to church, have ignored him. False piety! (& extreme temporal confusion, but OK.)

Died (alas!) on this day in 1575, Pieter Aertsen. Also known as Lange Pier because he was so tall! Here, his amazing Meat Stall from 1551, putting the insides (and even outsides) right in your face. But what's that behind all?

For those who just need beauty this evening, flowers from Rachel Ruysch, who was born on this day in 1664.

2/2 In the same year her husband painted that family portrait, 1716, Rachel Ruysch painted this stunning picture of a vase of flowers on a marble table. Wow!

2/2 More fantastic flowers, in a glass vase on a stone table (great juxtapositions of texture and tactility!), by the amazing Rachel Ruysch, born on this day in 1664.

3/3 Chickens in the barnyard: picturesque scene from the 1640s by Isaac van Ostade of Haarlem, whose day is today.
