Masterpieces from Mount Stuart

A small exhibition of a selection of Old Master Paintings from the famous Bute Collection at Mount Stuart at the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh.

It featured mainly northern European works including some lovely Dutch 17th paintings such as the de Hooch “A Disputed Reckoning”. I also really liked a Van Cleve portrait of a woman dated 1530.

However I have to issue a Cuyp alert! A few years ago there was an exhibition of works by Cuyp which was basically wall to wall cows! I have quite recovered and still find his work very bland!
