Mia and Kai went to see a Rembrandt, Vermeer et al exhibition at Vancouver Art Gallery today. Kai liked a painting of a sunken ship in a battle. Mia was excited to see a still life painting of birds. She exclaimed "ba! Baaa!" so much and loudly, we had to move along to calm her down. We experienced the camera of Vermeer's. It was amazing to see how clear the casted image can be in the simulated chamber of the camera obsucura (walk-in size!!). It was a short and interupted gallery visit but sweet field trip for us nonetheless.
As for myself, I recognised how poor my knowledge is for 17th C Duch paintings. One of Rembrandt's paintings was so breathtakingly beautiful. Wish we could stay there for a while...
