Our thanks to Neil Paul and John Passfield for today's fascinating presentation ~ the first of a series ~ on Dutch artist Rembrandt.
Neil agrees with the modern opinion that our decorative plate, "The Man In The Golden Helmet" may not be a Rembrandt; however, we have a second plate; the image on our second plate appeared to us to be a merry tavern scene of some sort. Neil's reference book clearly shows a BED in the background of the painting, depicting Rembrandt and his first wife, Saskia. We have a Rembrandt after all!
A special thank you to Grand Treats & Treasures for refreshments for today's event. Drop into the Cayuga Street business. Pick up some hot English Wassail Cider Mix. Tell Colliene that we sent you.
