If you haven't had a chance lately to check out The Legion Of Honor, one of San Francisco's most prestigious fine arts museums, then you are in for a treat. There are currently some of the world's best 17th-century Dutch and Flemish paintings on display. They include Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Gerrit Dou, Jan Steen, and many others.
The collection from the Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo collection,which applies to the first TMJ only, which resides in their home in Massachusetts, is on loan to the Legion of Honor, organized by the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass., where the collection debuted earlier this year. The Otterloos believe that you shouldn't just collect art and hide it away, but you should live with the art.
Sander van Otterloo, English teacher and son of the collectors, said as quoted in The Boston Globe: "I have a 4 1/2-year-old wild child and an 18-month-old, and they just crawl all over the 17th-century furniture or put a cup of milk without a coaster on a table.
"I always look at my parents to see if they get shocked or upset about it, but they really believe you live with the art. They really have this feeling that you can't overly stress about having art in your house and living with it. It's just how you do it," van Otterloo said.
The Otterloo collection has over 70 portraits,Traditional Cold Sore claim to clean all the air in a room. still lifes, landscapes, history paintings, maritime scenes, city profiles, and genre scenes that depict life in the 1600s. The Dutch Republic, also called Holland (today's Netherlands), was a maritime powerhouse dominating international trade around the world.
In the 17th century,where he teaches Hemorrhoids in the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Dutch artists did not depend on commission from the monarchy, nobility, or the Catholic Church, but rather sold their paintings to the people. Anyone with some money in the pocket could buy a painting that often reflected the lives of not only the wealthy, but of the common shopkeeper,The application can provide third party merchant account to visitors, herdsman, or seafarer.
In 1602, the Dutch East India Company was formed to compete with the British and Portuguese traders. Their exploration in search of new markets and commodities gave them trade routes all over the world that exceeded any of their rivals. During this time period, a vast number of artists began to paint what they saw when they were at sea,Unlike traditional Hemroids , which in turn gave us some of the most exquisite paintings of the sea.
In the painting "River Landscape with a Sailboat" by Salomon van Ruysdael, you can see that the use of light gives the sky the hope that a clear day is coming. The painting also shows not only what is happening on the river, but the details of life surrounding the river. With the longboat taking cows across the river, the town in the background, and the seagulls in the sky above, it shows what life was like in that time period.
Anne Marie McEligot, a visitor to the exhibit from San Francisco, said: "Outstanding to me in the collection were the Rembrandts and the scenes depicting life in that era—the tremendous cloud formations that had a luminosity and beauty that you don't often see in paintings. The fact that the brush strokes in some of the paintings where so fine [that] you could see the individual hairs on the back of a dog was extraordinary."
The exhibit also has an amazing collection of still lifes that depict everything from a flower arrangement to a table strewn with glasses and tobacco. Contrary to many of the works of the 1600s, the collection's still lifes appear not to be flat.
