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.

Impressionism: Sensation & Inspiration Highlights from the Hermitage

Location: De Hermitage Amsterdam
Date: from 16 June 2012 to 13 January 2013
The Hermitage Amsterdam will present Impressionism: Sensation & Inspiration: the world-famous Impressionist paintings from the vast collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, in their artistic context. Masterpieces by pioneers like Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley will be accompanied by the work of other influential French painters from the second half of the nineteenth century, such as Eugène Delacroix and Jean-Léon Gérôme. The exhibition will focus on contrasts between artistic movements. For instance, visitors will see and experience the sensational quality of Impressionism, the movement that heralded a new age. All the paintings, drawings, and sculptures will come from the collection of the St. Petersburg Hermitage. Seldom has such a rich survey of this period been on display in the Netherlands.
