On the left a painting
of the Fontainbleau school entitled Gabrielle d'Estrees and one of her sisters in the bath, c. 1595, oil on wood, 96 x
125 cm.
Gabrielle d'Estrees was the mistress of Henry IV. In her hand she holds
a ring given to her by the king as a sign of their bond, and her sister is
pinching her nipple indicating she is pregnant with the king's child. In the
background a lady is sewing baby clothes. |

Madame de Sorquaunville presided over a salon - a small
gathering of intelligent men and women gathered together by a gifted hostess
who need be neither young nor rich, just highly civilised and with an eye for
talent and bringing out the best in her guests.
Right, Erasmus by Hans Holbein (the younger) c. 1600. |

Below, The card players by Pieter de Hooch, c. 1660.
This
painting shows how the interiors of the bourgeois houses in Holland at that
time had changed from the clean and simple style of previous years to the fancy
and elaborate. This change in interior decoration followed the increase in
fortunes of the Dutch merchant classes.
Bathsheba bathing by Rembrant, right. Bathsheba is
holding King David's letter.

Descartes started
life as a soldier, but preferred thinking, "I think , therefore I am". His main
point being the possibility of doubting everything except doubt.
Right, Frans Hals, the Jester on the lute,
c. 1624. oil on canvas, 70 x 62 cm. |
