Anoniem (1563)

It looks as if the De Moucheron family are having a meal around a table. But that's not the case. The artist has simply used the table as a means of arranging the family scene. At the centre is Pierre de Moucheron (1508-1567), a merchant in Middelburg and Antwerp. He and his equally enterprising sons figured at the dawn of the Dutch Golden Age.  rijksmuseum.nl

Anoniem (1125)

This cheerful figure was found in St Mary's church in Utrecht. It was cast by an unknown artist in bronze in the twelfth century. The costume is rather unusual: the figure is wearing a pointed hat and sort of jabot, while the cloak is tied together with an ornately knotted belt. On the left shoulder is a kind of wing: another probably once extended from the other shoulder too. The lower half of the figure is now lost, as are the hands.   rijksmuseum.nl

Anthony van Dyck (1610)

Nine scraps of paper with sketches of faces of men with beards have been pasted into medallions. These scraps once formed part of a sheet of studies drawn by Anthony van Dyck with black ink. He used these sheets of model drawings in his studio as examples for himself and his pupils. Some of these faces were based on those kept by his own teacher, Peter Paul Rubens.   rijksmuseum.nl
