Do You See What I See
A semi regular poke at our Renaissance friends from the Dutch Golden Age!
Check out the links to many fantastic museums that I have visited or long to visit one day, or relax and order some fine cheese.
Do You See What I See: Still Life
Stinky Cheese & Vino
Title: Still LifeFloris Claesz van Dijck
Date: 1613
Oil on Canvas
Frans Hals Museum
I see dinner! Yum Yum Yum.
What I appreciate most about still life scenes such as these is the fact that this is a depiction of what was going to be the next meal.
Well, by the looks of it Floris was probably a rather robust man.

Do You See What I See: Erasmus
the cooked books
Title: ErasmusHans Holbein (the younger)
Date: 1523
Oil on Wood
National Gallery London
I see a well dressed man holding a book. Possibly a ledger, with several more on the self.
Is this gentleman, sporting a lovely? fur coat, working his accounts or is he just rewriting the bible from a humanist standpoint?
Hmmmmmm?

Do You See What I See: Officer & A Laughing Girl
your confession I do not believe is funny young lady
Title: Officer & A Laughing GirlJan Vermeer
Date: 1657-1659
Oil on Linen
Frick Collection
I would have called this the "botched interrogation".
What exactly is the Laughing Girl laughing about - could it be her alibi?

Do You See What I See: The Bitter
take the medicine
The BitterAdriaen Brouwer
Date: 1630 -1640
Oil on Oak
Stadel Museum Frankfort
Strangely enough haven't we all been in this situation and made the same face?
It is funny that a painting nearly 400 years old reflects a scene that is just as modern as our current times.
Do You See What I See: Madchen Beim Entenrupfen (Girl In Burlap With Duck)
wake up please mr. ducky
Girl in Burlap With DuckBarent Fabritius
Date: 17th Century
Oil on Canvas
Dallas Museum of Art
This painting impressed upon me as soon as my eyes set on it. What impessed me was its overt use of classical geometry.
The golden triangle is quite obvious in this composition, which makes this painting a good example of classical geometry, but if not in the least a beautiful painting.
Do you see what I see:
1. Just imagine if you had to wear burlap. It would be like wearing a coffee bean sack all day.
2. This is my dinner and my future pillow etc.
For Larger Image & Wikipedia Reference
I may wear burlap, but I can pluck a duck like nobodies business.
A good read after dinner!

Do You See What I See: Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp
Put another nudie on the slab please.
Anatomy Lesson of Dr. TulpRembrant Van Rijn
Date: 1632
Oil on Canvas
MauritisHuis
This painting strikes as somewhat of a curiosity. How many of these "gentlemen" were spectators in the stead of genuine students of medicine.
It all seems very gruesome in either sense.
1. Careful, careful.
2. Excuse me, may I have my organs back.
3. Frankenstien MAD!
4. All of us agree, we paid to much for the tickets.

Do You See What I See: Self Portrait As An Lutenist
Hey Baby Wanna Jam
Self Portrait As An LutenistJan Steen
Date: 1660 - 1663
Oil on Canvas
Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, Madrid
I chose this painting because it reminds me of Jack Black and Santa Claus combined. Separate they rock out, but if combined it would be an ultimate mess.
Do you see what I see:
1. Minstrel saying: "Hey baby wanna come back to my place".
2. I just got a record deal for sure!
3. This is my passion I only work at the gas station during the day.
4. I'm so coool

The Angel and Tobias with the FishPieter Lastman
Date 1625
Oil on wood
Museum of Fine Arts Budapest
Ever heard of the Mekong Delta Catfish? Well, I think Pieter Lastman has.
Do You See What I See:
1. ONE big ugly Mekong Delta Catfish.
2. A fisherman telling the angel to get a net.
3. A Confused St. Bernard puppy.
4. A whopper of a fish story.

Do You See What I See?: Prometheus Being Chained by Vulcan
Flic Your Bic Doo Da Day
Prometheus Being Chained By VulcanDirck Van Baburen
Date 1623
202 x 184cm
Oil on Canvas
Rijksmusuem Amsterdam
This painting, a recent discovery of mine, is a real super treat!
Little did Promethus know that this was only the begining of his ordeal. Soon enters the giant bird to eat his liver every day.
Just to let you know - I think the bird was aslo in trouble. I had to eat liver once and I barfed!
Do you see what I see:
1. Prometheus looking for something to smack the stupid grin off of Mercury, botton left.
2. See the Bird, upper left.
3. These characters are from the Mediterranean. Why are they so pastey?
4. Man the face on Mercury is irritating!! upper right.
All this over giving a man a light.

Do You See What I See: The Garden of Earthly Delights
What the Hell?
The Garden of Earthly DelightsPanel 3 Hell
Hieronymus Bosch
Datum 1504
(Right Panel) 220 x 195 cm
Oil on Wood Panel
Museo Del Prado, Madrid
(Picture Provided by Wikipedia copyright free in the public domain.)
This panel the 3rd of three, is a rather dubious, but most probably accurate depiction of hell.
In college this painting gave me daymares. I would nod off in the middle of one of my rennaissance art history classes and bam - I awoke shaken. Needless to say I didn't nod off in class anymore.
What was HB thinking when he painted this panel of a triptych?
Do you see what I see:
1. I am frightened
2. I am scared
3. I wet my pants (just a little bit)
4. I screamed like a girl.
After thinking about this painting it reminds me of Axel Rose of Guns and Roses. Can you not hear him sin "WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE" in the background?

The Trip Negotiations
The AmbassadorsHans Holbien the younger
207 x 209.5 cm
Oil on Oak
Date 1533
National Gallery London
(Picture Provided by Wikipedia copyright free in the public domain.)
Whoa, what can I say. Is this a contemporary painting or an ode to the ingenuity, freedom and creativity of our renaissance friends? I think an ode to what was to come.
Do you see what I see:
1. A visit to the National Gallery on "?".
2. The skull the skull, center bottom.
3. All the makings for a renaissance fair, center central. Dragon not included, please roll 10 sided dice.
4. Large feet on the ambassador to the left.
Ah the beautiful art of diplomacy? or the visual art of bureaucracy.
