Last night I received a message from Hannah who comes from Manchester and will also be studying at Avans St Joost. We met up today by the Grote Kerk and found a cafe selling limburgse vlaai. Hannah wanted to visit Breda's Museum which brought back memories of my A level History of Art. From religious iconography to portraits, landscapes and still life oil paintings, I suddenly realised how much I've moved on from all of that history to more contextuals and critical studies. I couldn't see much further than the skill and craftsmanship in these works, but it did bring about discussion on art and how much of it is accurate evidence of history or mainly just people's interpretations.
