Uit Verre Streken From Distant Lands

 

This summer we are very happy to be holding another exhibition with Guus Roell, Maastricht .

 

The exhibition will show furniture, paintings, sculpture and works of art that were made for the European markets in the Far East, from the 17th to the 19th century.

 

This exhibition will also show the work of European artists who travelled to the distant shores and recorded their impressions, in oils and watercolours, of the landscape and the people and these too are records of a distant world and a distant past.(4)

 

 

 

 

'ITEM HIGHLIGHTS' refer to other  objects from our own collection which will be on display as part of the exhibition.
