"Instead: A Journey Through Time and Art" Step into a world where time intertwines with art, as Telegram mobilises VAD in 1914. In this captivating journey, we explore the depths of human creativity and expression. Like a poem by Robert Herrick, each piece tells its own story. The February sign Pisces inscription states the subject, guiding us through an artist's travels in Wales on February 10th, 1799. An etching captures the essence of this momentous occasion. Witness the divine presence bringing Eve and Adam to life in a mesmerizing display. It echoes the Sacrifice of Isaac by Willem van Haecht (II), transporting us back to a time filled with emotion and sacrifice. The beggars depicted by printmaker Pieter Serwouters and David Vinckboons remind us of humanity's struggles throughout history. Their faces tell tales of resilience instead of despair. Frans Huys' mask with wings instead of ears takes our imagination to new heights. Its headdress shaped like a shell invites us to embrace our inner whimsy and curiosity. Travel further back in time to Nieuburch in Rijswijk, Netherlands - the location for peace negotiations in 1697. This house stands as a symbol of diplomacy instead of conflict; it holds secrets untold within its walls. Nicolaes de Bruyn's depiction shows Abraham with knife in hand - an image that sparks contemplation about faith and obedience instead of fear or violence. In Eberhard Cornelis Rahms' village church scene, we witness unity as people gather for worship instead of division tearing them apart. The power lies not only within their prayers but also their shared sense of community. Finally, Theodor de Bry's picture frame captivates with its elongated cartouche and rounded sides - an artistic choice that embraces uniqueness instead of conformity.
