Pretty darn cool. But must that piece get worked to death?
More appropriate would have been the overture to Rossini's
'La Gazza Ladra', both thematically and musically.

Gotta love the Dutch.
You haven't lived til you been to the Rijksmuseum.
The Van Gogh Museum isn't half bad either.
If you're into that art stuff, that is.

Hi E., went to the SF museum a few months ago and saw the great Dutch works on display from the Rijksmuseum( it's under remodel). Pretty cool, now that I'm studying Graphic arts. It's amazing how many pieces are etchings and they are typically small.

I've been to all of them, the best, IMO, is the one in Arnhem. Rijks is nice, but small, the Hague is good, the Van Gogh Museum had loads of the early dark Van Goghs.
But the Arnhem Museum, had the bright famous Van Goghs by the boatload.

Wow! Nice collection!
I'm with Tami, I like Vermeer - my wife has very "Vermeerian" beauty.

That's a cool story, John!
You decide whether it is Vermeer or Muppet:

It's a curious thing that the 17th century is the century of so many remarkable painters. IMO the most gifted painter/printmaker of the period is Rembrandt, but his close seconds are Caravaggio, Velazquez, van Dyke, Vermeer, they're all amazing craftsman as well as brilliant poets of the human condition. I can't think of anybody in the last two centuries that comes close to this group of geniuses, who, like their close contemporary, Shakespeare, changed the way we see the world.
