Early 19th century German painter Carl Blechen created series of studio works based on a sketching trip he had taken to Italy a few years prior.
Here, he gives us a dramatically lit scene of a paper mill in a gorge in the rocky landscape of Italy’s famed Amalfi coast.
I know you visited Amalfi with your spouse before. Like to invite you both to visit our country/province to a special exhibition 125 years memorial of Vincent; http://www.breda-museum.nl/vincent-van-gogh/de-jonge-vincent.html
There’s one Camille Corot to admire as well as many other paintings from the collection of Van Gogh’s uncle Cent.
Mi casa, su casa.
Thank you, Ælle. I would love to visit the Netherlands at some point, but I don’t know when we’ll next be able to travel to Europe. Not this year, unfortunately.
Che peccato, what a pity, wat jammer!
