Violin, anonymous, c. 1705 - c. 1710
This tin-glazed earthenware violin cannot be played, for it is a decorative object. When the collector John Loudon purchased it for a record 1500 guilders in 1876, this violin was considered to be the absolute masterpiece of Delft earthenware. The modelling and painted decoration
certainly make it an exceptional object.
Gift of the heirs of J.F. Loudon, The Hague

Detail of Rembrandt's "The Night Watch" at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The two rectangular spots are where some of the varnish has been removed as part of the research for the current restoration work. Rembrandt painted himself into the scene; that's him peering over the shoulder of the helmeted watchman in the upper left.

Visitors looking at Rembrandt's "The Night Watch" at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It's in the process of being restored, protected by a soundproof glass enclosure to avoid disturbing the restorers, who work on the powered gantry visible inside. One of the docents provided a lot of great background on the processes they're using.

Birds on a Balustrade, Melchior d'Hondecoeter, c. 1680 - c. 1690
D’Hondecoeter was the preeminent specialist in the genre of bird painting, and his work was in great demand. He painted birds from all corners of the world with a refined feeling for detail, colour, and liveliness. Here he portrayed a chicken, a hoopoe, and a parrot. D’Hondecoeter made studies in oil, which he could repeatedly use in his workshop as an aidememoire while painting. The birds occur in identical poses in other pictures.
