October 2011), and thought it a very interesting exhibition. Its not
large (just two rooms and 40 or so paintings) but has an excellent
audioguide, and is well worth a visit for lowlandophiles in/passing
through London.</span></p><p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I
am not sure whether I am disappointed that so much space (not a lot,
but quite a lot) was given to Dutch artists painting Italian landscapes
(or Italianate landscapes). It is feature that it is handled well in
the interpretation, and is a product of the fact that this is an
exhibition from a family collection (a series of individual,
genetically-related, collectors), rather than a assemblage of paintings
to follow a particular narrative. And on the other hand, I didn’t
notice anything about the English/Dutch relationship at the level of the
family, or the nation. </span></p><p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">There
are some wonderful, wonderful paintings. Aelbert Cuyp’s “Page with Two
Horses”, and Jan van der Heyden’s “A country House on the Vliet near
Delft” are the ones that will stay with me.</span></p><p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">
