Isn’t this so pretty? It’s “Die Morgenstunde,” by 19th century German painter Moritz von Schwind, and it’s part of the Schack Collection (Sammlung Schack), in Munich. Formerly known as the Schack Galerie, the museum re-opened today after a renovation carried out in honor of its 100th anniversary. If you’re in Munich this week, you can visit the museum for free. But after Sunday, it’s just 4 Euros.

Dear Celeste
I thought this an interesting choice of painting which I like very much and could not resist asking if you have come across Hammershoi?

Hi Victoria,
I have to say I wasn’t familiar with Hammershoi, but I did a little research, and though lacking the coziness of the von Schwind image above, his paintings are certainly lovely. It’s so interesting to see how different artists depict interiors in such varied ways. I must do some more studying. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.
