Autumn landscape.' (1847) Very privileged this afternoon to see a private collection of work by a number of Scandinavian painters including Johan Lundbye who played a key role in the Danish Romantic movement; he also influenced a later generation of artists including Hammershøi.

Interior with a woman spinning. And also a man, perhaps reading. Another quiet scene by Esaias Boursse of Amsterdam, born OTD 1631.

This evocative rendering of a bridge in Bruges at twilight from 1923 stretches back to the Australian artist Sydney Long’s celebrated symbolist paintings from the 1890s. A critic said at the time the beauty of Long's work 'is an inscrutable and open-ended riddle.'

For all the downgrading of Jack Vettriano's paintings by critics who often called his work 'soulless, fetishistic and empty,' he was self-made, and gave the public what it wanted and I don't believe passing a verdict on art that is someone's dream, someone's life.

Born on this day in 1631, Esaias Boursse of Amsterdam. Painted the quietness of life in the Dutch Golden Age. Mother rests from work, baby is asleep, everything is.... calm.
