🟨 💐 This marvellous #GoldBox was made in 1759-60 by the master goldsmith Jean Ducrollay.

Measuring only 6.7cm wide, it features a signature on the enamel of the lid by the accomplished enamellist, Hamelin, an exceedingly rare detail found in very few works by the artist.

This precise and luminous painting shows a view across the river Maas touched by atmospheric evening light.

#AelbertCuyp, who died #OnThisDay 1691, painted this piece in the early 1650s and is widely considered one of the finest landscape painters of the #SeventeenthCentury.

The Italian painter #FrancescoGuardi was well known for his #capricci, fantastical paintings which combined his scintillating brushwork with some recognisable elements and imaginative additions.

This fanciful scene depicts the Doge’s Palace in Venice, and dates to the 1770s.
