De roof ging met zoveel geweld gepaard dat verstrekt vitrineglas ook niet veel zou uitmaken. Was overigens een heel mooie tentoonstelling.

The start of my Ancient Near East armies. These figures can be used for Hurri Mitanni and Assyrians. I painted these begin this year, I already have added chariots and more troops. #wargaming #dba

"Jupiter armed with political lightning"
A short lived periodival during the (Dutch) Batavian Republic era (1795-1802). In Dutch it sounds pretty cool and there were two other radical democratic periodicals with almost the same name: De Burger Politieke Blixem and the Heer Politieke Blixem

No, this is not a real town but the Zuiderzeemuseum in Enkhuizen, in Holland, where a town around 1900 is recreated from houses from villages around the former Zuiderzee, now the IJsselmeer.

“Castle #Wedde”, in #Groningen, near the German border. A medieval stronghouse, now a hotel for children in need. Bishop van Galen made his headquarters here for a while.

Oh, great, taking a picture of a painting in a museum behind glass. This is Bernhard Johan Prott, defender of Bourtange in 1672 against the evil Munster Bishop van Galen. Died in Lutjegast, you know, where Abel Tasman came from, the guy that discovered Tasmania.
