We had an opportunity to see the Dutch Master Painters at the de Young Museum including the famous “The Girl With A Pearl Earring” by Johannes Vermeer. Other masters include Rembrandt, Rachel Ruysch and so many others.
They voted “The Magpie”, by Monet, as their favorite and wondered what all the fuss was about with “Whistler’s Mother”, but they kept returning again and again to their favorites and eventually emerged from the exhibit with a deeper appreciation for the ” Impressionists”.
The last time “Whistler’s Mother” was in San Francisco was in 1933. There’s a good chance they’ll never see it again, unless they visit in Paris at the Musée d’Orsay…
