‘As the old sing, so pipe the young’. Adults set the vibe, and the kids follow!
Look at dad (yep, Jan Steen himself!) laughing while teaching his kid to smoke a pipe. Steen was the king of chaotic storytelling and a brilliant painter.

A beautiful sky to brighten up your day 🌞☁️
This is 'View of Delft', painted by Johannes Vermeer around 1660.
There is hardly a breath of wind, and the city has an air of tranquility. Vermeer reflected this tranquility in his composition, by making three horizontal strips: water, city and sky.

🌷Some of the bouquets featured in our collection are a bombastic explosion of colours. Though more minimal, this single tulip can surely rival their impact.

🫣Peek-a-boo! We see you!
This painting focuses on the tender care of a mother for her child. They are playing peek-a-boo with her veil. For the Virgin’s blue cloak and dress, Gossaert used ultramarine, a costly pigment made of ground semi-precious stones.

💐🐚Van der Ast introduced a number of important innovations into flower still-lifes. This bouquet is painted much more freely than those of his predecessors, and is restricted to just a few types of flower.

This is a trompe-l’oeil, or trick of the eye. It is supposed to look as if a marble bust of Venus has been placed above the door. In order to mislead the viewer, some ‘real’ details have been added: a pink shawl and periwinkle.

🌞Craving an escape from the daily stress? How about this serene scene? In a clearing in the forest, women and shepherds are making a sacrifice to Flora. The stream flows to an ancient town and some rocky mountains.

🍋🍷This is one of Haarlem painter Pieter Claesz’s finest paintings. Together with Willem Heda, he introduced this kind of ‘monochrome banquet piece’.
The depiction of fabrics and materials is spectacular. We just don't know where to look!
