A splendid lecture on a great masterpiece. Now we are hungry for the Anatomy Lesson!
This presenter knows a whole lot about Dutch painting in the Golden Age, and she brought the Night Watch and its times to life. Thoroughly enjoyable, I hope she gives many more seminars.
Very much enjoyed this in-depth look at the Nightwatch. Thank you, Alette!
I studied this painting in Art History in college more than fifty years ago and was able to see it in person in Amsterdam long after. The lecturer added greatly to my understanding of it.
