Omdat het #Boijmans al eeuwen dicht is en zal blijven, wijken we met enige regelmaat uit naar #Schiedam. Heel fijn museum, nu met mooie tentoonstelling van Maria Roosen. Ik ging eigenlijk voor de tentoonstelling over rouw, maar die vond ik minder goed. stedelijkmuseumschiedam.nl/tentoonstell...

Artificial “intelligence”…

Oké, het kost de energie waar ik mee op en neer had kunnen rijden naar Rotterdam en het watergebruik van heel Stiphout van vandaag, maar nu weet ik het eindelijk: 2030-2019=7.

Jan Frans van Dael, known as a traditional painter of flower and fruit still lifes in Paris, creates something completely different here. He probably did this for fun, because the result is an image of his own house. In retrospect, the registration of such an everyday scene turns out to have become a highlight. Has Van Dael explored and exceeded his artistic boundaries?

This drawing depicts the famous Egyptian queen Cleopatra, who committed suicide in 30 BC after the defeat of her troops by Octavian. She attempted to seduce the Roman ruler, but was rejected. Cleopatra then let herself be bitten by an adder to escape his rule. Michelangelo's original drawing is in Casa Buonarroti, Florence.

Did you know that this sketch may be a preliminary study for a painting by Delacroix with the same subject from 1846? That painting is now in the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore. Both the dramatic, moving composition and the painting style of the oil sketch are reminiscent of the works of the 17th-century artist Rubens, whom Delacroix greatly admired.
