Wonderful impression, Fons. It's obvious where you've been. My favorite is the Gemeentemuseum shot. Too bad there are two couples instead of one person. Ah well, PS may come to rescue. ;-)
Thanks for sharing.

Fons, I really like the first four, because they are your unique take on the place in the title.

Many great pictures Fons, with different styles. Maybe you could arrange them in more homogeneous series to work around several themes?
I remember reading a fascinating analysis of the Music Lesson, by the late Daniel Arasse. he made everything so clear... Obviously you arrived at a time when the lesson also took place in front of the painting, making the scene even more interresting.

The Music Lesson of Vermeer brings back memories during my school days where we admired the painting details made special by Vermeer artistry and where we obliterated the questionable shadows volume and transitions.

Vermeer who was great in detail did not seem to have brought the same attention to the shadows although he was pretty much into the Chiaroscuro period. Still, he is a Master painter.

Indeed in this period a painter had to prove his mastership in details of fabric and tapistry, etc in other words finer details in
a play of light and shadow, with this piece is  a good example, the drapery here is in focus while the scene we know as the music-lesson remains out of direct focus.
In the Maurits there is an exhibition on that period, on loan from British collectors, personally i liked the paintings of Geerard Dou in the Mauritshuis.

Maybe too () impatient for narrowing down on a single theme within one post.
We traveled by train to go to both museums, and take pictures whenever there is a chance ;D
thank you Olivier
