Easter Egg Hunt  

This week’s care package is themed Easter Egg Hunt. Through google, the Rijksmuseum offers a “street view” tour of their impressive collection allowing you to digitally wander their halls! Can you find all the artworks on our list? Are you up to the challenge? 

1. Laocoön and His Sons(Hellenistic Bronze Statue) image of the work. 
2. Self-Portraitby Vincent Van Gogh (Post-Impressionist portrait Painting) image of the work.  
3. A Windmill on a Polder Waterway, Known as ‘In the Month of July‘by Paul Gabriël (Hague School Landscape Painting) image of the work.   

On the topic of wandering, walking through the halls of this museum parallels the gendered art historical concept of the flâneur. Definition Here. 

Here is a great podcast that explores the concept of the flâneur: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b0787dmb.  

Hope you had fun wandering the halls of the Rijksmuseum as we did! Have a great rest of your day. See you in the UAG soon.
