Architectural City Walks
Excellent Architectural walks in Dutch Historic city Centers and in modern city revitalization projects. While walking, we discuss society and history.
In Vermeer's 'The Art of Painting' the black and white tiled marble floor in The Art of Painting is a complete invention by Vermeer. Delft houses in those days were never that richly decorated with marble. Vermeer took the visual idea from the Delft city hall.

The painting can be admired in person at the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna in Austria.
This is a section of 'Winter Landscape with Ice Skaters' by Hendrick Avercamp made in 1608, which can be seen in the Rijksmuseum.
Avercamp, was a deaf-mute painter from Kampen. On the ice we see a great variety of social classes, all celebrating a day out in winter. The climate of Holland has cold spells and yet not a lot of snow, allowing ice skating.
