not one meeting or task to do at a certain moment of the day. i felt so free and took the opportunity to have lunch in town (with the big boy) and visit the museum to see the exhibit "dutch mountains" at the paul reinhart art museum.
it is an amazing exhibit, wonderfully curated and at some point, i asked myself, why i'm even in the museum and not on the mountain!
that's what it did to me, it is powerful to see the paintings as well as the the drawings and prints by Jan Hackaert and his friend Conrad Meyer. they revolutionized landscape painting in the 17th century together with other dutch masters.
the two of them had a realistic and modern way of graphic interpretations of the mountains they saw and experienced. they were influenced by the the artists are now regarded as pioneers of swiss alpine painting. the two of them were also influenced by albrecht von haller's poem "Die Alpen".
