Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Brueghel the Old one belong to from Antwerp painters most famous of the 17th century. Very active and of a great technical skill, they directed very productive workshops. For their artistic development, the two painters remained a few years in Italy. They were familiarized thus with the rules of the international diplomacy. Between the two artists was born an exceptional bond. Their true friendship doubled of a profitable collaboration. Each one of them specialized in a specific field, they joined their creative forces to carry out phenomenal tables together. Most beautiful are exposed at the exposition “Rubens in Brueghel Samen”. In addition to twelve common paintings of Rubens and Brueghel, one will be able to see there the other works carried out in collaboration with contemporaries (p.ex. Brueghel with Hendrick de Clerck, Rubens with Frans Snijders). Tables come in particular from Prado in Madrid, Gemäldegalerie Kassel and Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

On these photos of Mati and Maxi remind me little school-girls - they should just hold their hands

Beautiful photos!
I love Maxima's coat!
Mathilde looks nice, too! It's great to see the couples together!
They always seems to be quite relaxed and happy when the Dutch and the Belgian Crownprincely Couples meet.

I must say for the first time, I do not like the coat that Mathilde is wearing. It's too busy and stiff looking as well as the lace, high neck, thing she is wearing underneath it. And then with black stockings and grey shoes, she reminds me of Minnie Mouse. I usually love what she wears, but not today.
Maxima looks nice, I just wish she would tidy up her hair a bit. Always looks as if she is rushed out the door with her hair brush in hand and never really finishes the job.
The men look handsome as usual.
Just a question: is the weather really that cold over there right now? I would love to have it that cold here in California. Right now, it's in the 80's, hot and dry, and we must not forget windy. Ugh!

It was a most sunny and gentle dreamy autumn day with a golden sun, not only in The Hague but in the entire Netherlands.



Here you see the former Palace of Prince Maurits of Nassau-Siegen, the Mauritshuis, which is renowned for its fabulous collection of Dutch and Flemish masters and was visited by the Prince of Orange, Princess Máxima and their guests the Duke and Duchess of Brabant.

True Henri, I could even walk around in just a t-shirt today without being cold...

I think I will visit the exposition soon, with a friend of mine who lives in The Hague, it seems interesting.

Now about the couples: the two husbands seem to stay in the background and let the ladies lead :). Nice to
