Scheveningen 11 and Scheveningen 90
Scheveningen 11 and Scheveningen 90
I took this photo of the painting of the Scheveningen 11 and Scheveningen 90 by Hendrik Willem Mesdag in the Groninger Museum. I’m not sure whether the painting belongs to its collection or not.
I took the photo to use it for a post here about Hendrik Willem Mesdag, an important Dutch painter of the The Hague School.
We have a panorama in The Hague, Panorama Mesdag and we have the Mesdag Collection in The Hague, a small museum which consists of his former home and studio’s, but also of the small museum he built himself for his own art collection.
Quote of the Day (20) – no D.O.M. but S.S.C.
Long time no quotes, but here is one;-)
I’m not a Dirty Old Man, but a Sexy Senior Citizen is an apt sign I saw at the back of a car.
Skull Speakers
I’ve visited IMM Cologne yesterday, mainly hunting for chair news. However, I noticed these skull docking stations on display. They come in 7 colors if I’m counting right. I won’t disclose more about the manufacturer than I did here already (think ALT…). I believe it is something you don’t want to use in your home, but many may disagree with me.
At least they are interesting photo objects…
