Art in Breda...

Re-imagined Tree Roots

Before heading to a hash in Breda, I zoomed through the Stedelijk Museum Breda, an art museum housed in one of the oldest buildings in town. Here are some of my favorite artworks.

Christ and the Samaritan Woman in Breda

This is the oldest existing cityscape in Dutch history, presumed to have been painted in 1520. One of the houses shown was demolished in 1534.

The shape of these 16th century Italian ceramic tiles were derived from Arab culture, which was fashionable in Europe at the time. The eyes offer protection against evil as in the all-seeing eye of God.

This still life from 1799 uses optical illusions to make it appear to be a niche holding a real vase of flowers.
