Avercamp Special
The Rijksmuseum presents the first exhibition devoted to Hendrick Avercamp, the foremost painter of Dutch winter landscapes in the 17th century. Avercamp was the first Dutch artist to specialise in paintings of winter landscapes featuring people enjoying the ice. Some 400 years on, our image of life in the harsh winters of the Golden Age is still dominated by Avercamp’s ice scenes with their splendid narrative details of couples skating, children pelting each other with snowballs and unwary individuals falling through the ice.
Hendrick Avercamp: The Little Ice Age runs from 20 November 2009 to 15 February 2010 at the Rijksmuseum.

After the winter scenes it is time to warm up in Lloyd Hotel, one of the most prestigious Dutch hotels of the 21st century. It is lovely to relax surrounded by wonderful design by among others Claudy Jongstra, Joep van Lieshout and Richard Hutten.
