Dutch emotions
LEYDE – The death of Lucretius, Christ crowned with thorns, an operation of the brain without anesthesia? Or Venus and Cupid frolicking about, Loth looking over his daughters, shepherds enjoying the pleasures of love? The exhibition explores how the Dutch masters rendered the two antagonistic facets of life - suffering and joy.
• Emotion, pain and pleasure in Dutch painting of the Golden Age at Frans Hals Museum, from 11 October 2014 to 15 January 2015.
