Van Ruisdael tot Frytom

Their works were then and still have an influence on contemporary artists. They are known for their perspectives and portrayal of the Dutch landscape.

For the first time, works by Van Frytom and Van Ruisdael can be seen side by side. Two worlds come together here, with nature and landscapes on canvas and pottery playing a leading role. In addition, attention is paid to the traditional technique of the making process of the blue pigment, as used by both masters, and how it is still used today.

Painters such as Van Ruisdael were seen as artists and Delft pottery, such as Van Frytom, as craftsmen. Is it imaging or did the two perhaps have more in common with each other than expected?

The composition of the exhibits is unique and will come to Delft from (inter)national private collectors and museums for an exclusive period from 8 November 2022 to 15 March 2023.
