The Disaster Year on the ceiling

Articles include:

  • In 1672 Gerard de Lairesse was working on a ceiling painting. But then the artist quickly adapted his canvases to that Disaster Year.
  • Hundreds of Roman coins were found by two amateur archaeologists in a field near Bunnik. Remarkably, there are also British coins among the hoard of silver and gold.
  • In the new Dutch embassy in Brussels we find two goat herders. There is something odd about the border of this Flemish tapestry dating from the 18th century.
