Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... RIJKS MUSEUM, AMSTERDAM 5. Aertsen, Pieter. The Egg Dance. The composition lacks in centralised grouping, and has no great unity. The figures are somewhat huddled, but the drawing of the individual types is strong. There is no grace or charm of touch about the painter's brush, but he has power in his realism. The picture of the Adoration (No. 7) is a better example of his strength. 6. The Adoration of the Shepherds. A fragment, supposed to be part of a triptych of the Nativity painted for the New Church of Amsterdam. It has the Aertsen strength and brutal truth in both man and beast. Formerly attributed to Rubens. 7. Adoration of the Wise Men. There is grip and force in it that makes for virile art. The drawing and painting are vigorous to the last degree. Notice the man and woman below. The face of this panel, showing the Presentation in the Temple, is less interesting, being somewhat unhappily arranged in the figures and scattered in the colour. See also No. 7a, a somewhat injured panel. 367. Antolines, Jose. Coronation of the Madonna. It is better than the Murillo near it--better both in drawing and in colour. Moreover, it has life and force to it without being a strong or vigorous 7 work. It is helped by the inevitable contrast with Murillo. 382. Asselyn, Jan. The Enraged Swan. A mad swan surmounted by a wild cloud, with floating feathers on air and water to rival the celebrated Floating Feather picture by Hondecoeter in the next room. It is not badly painted. The lettering on the eggs at the right, and on the water, was put there afterward to enforce some sort of political allegory. The picture was evidently not at that time considered serious art. 417. Bakhuysen, Ludolf. View of the Building Yard of the Admiralty, Amsterdam. A
