Officer and Laughing Girl

$70.1

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Officer and Laughing Girl, also known as Officer and a Laughing Girl and Officer With a Laughing Girl, is a painting created by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer in about 1657 and now in The Frick Collection in New York. The theme of a girl entertaining her suitor, already popular in Dutch art, was used by Vermeer as a study of lightfilled space. The dark silhouette of the officer (considerably darker in The Frick Collections website image) helps give the painting an illusion of depth, and contrasts with the play of light on the woman and the rooms furnishings. The map of Holland on the far wall, showing the west at the top, was first published in 1621, and it, along with the chairs, appear in other Vermeer paintings.

A Dutch Castaway on Ascension Island in 1725

$24.54

On 5 May 1725 a Dutch ships officer, Leendert Hasenbosch, was set ashore on the desert island of Ascension in the South Atlantic Ocean, as a punishment for sodomy. He tried to survive on turtles and birds but found very little water on the barren island. He wrote a diary. He probably died after about half a year. In January 1726 British mariners found his tent, diary and other things and brought the diary to England. In 1728 a first English version of the diary of the Dutch castaway was published. Other versions followed. Who was the castaway? The truth was disclosed by the Dutch historian Michiel Koolbergen (19532002), in a posthumously published book in Dutch. With the support of Michiel Koolbergens family and publisher, this new book discloses the truth in English. This book is illustrated with line drawings, both historic ones and by the Dutch artist Anneke de Vries.
