Belief in Nature – Flowers with a message at the Bibel Museum
Location: Bibel Museum Date: 27 april until 30 september Visitors have the opportunity to enjoy an exhibition of flower paintings from the Golden Age in one of Amsterdam’s finest canal houses. The exhibition shows the extraordinary skill with which artists such as Ambrosius Bosschaert, Jan Davidz. De Heem, Rachel Ruysch and Jan van Huysum rendered the natural world. As well as being delighted by the beauty of the paintings, visitor mays also trace the extent to which they reminded the public of the time of the work of the Creator and, by comparison, the vanity of early pleasures. The exhibition is housed in a cabal house such as would have been home to such paintings when they were first created and which gives a glimpse into how a wealthy family might have lived at that time.

Many of the paintings to be shown were acquired by Catherine the Great in the eighteenth century; Catherine purchased first-rate collections, such as those of Crozat and Brühl, in their entirety.
