The cow
From that wonderful museum in Amsterdam comes this quirky little video about the cow and its importance in Dutch painting.
Friso Lammertse, curator of 17th Century Dutch paintings at the Rijksmuseum, tells us charmingly about why the cow matters in the Netherlands, about milk and butter and exports and all that.
He is so enthusiatic about his cow paintings that it would be hard not to join him in his delight in his subject.
The post Ruth Leon recommends… Rijksmuseum – Holy Cow appeared first on Slippedisc.
