"Michiel: A Legendary Admiral and a Tale of Psyche's Journey" In the 17th century, Michiel de Ruyter rose to prominence as Lieutenant-Admiral, leaving an indelible mark on naval history. Ferdinand's captivating portrait from 1667 immortalizes his valor and leadership. Meanwhile, in Venice during the early 18th century, Michele Marieschi captured the grandeur of The Church of Santa Maria della Salute. This architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to artistic brilliance and spiritual devotion. Delving into mythology, "The Fable of Psyche" unfolds before our eyes through intricate plates dating back to the mid-16th century. Plate 3 reveals how two sisters find themselves married to kings while Plate 4 depicts Psyche's father seeking guidance from an oracle. In Plate 5, we witness her being carried on a litter towards a mysterious mountain. And in Plate 10, nymphs gracefully assist Psyche in adorning her hair with ethereal beauty. A striking portrayal from1830 showcases Ruyter himself; though its creator remains unknown, it captures his commanding presence that shaped Dutch maritime history forever. Another pivotal moment is brought to life by an anonymous artist in "The Dutch in the Medway: De Ruyters Attack on Upnor Castle. " This painting transports us back to the dramatic events of 1667 when Ruyter led a daring assault against this fortress—an audacious feat etched into memory. Beyond historical figures named Michiel lies another talented individual—Michiel Van Der Heijden—a name resonating with creativity and innovation yet waiting for its story to unfold fully. As we journey further through time, Piazza San Marco beckons us with its allure. In Salomon Savery's copies of the white dodo—a bird now extinct—we glimpse nature's fragility juxtaposed against human curiosity and artistry.
