The Bedroom by Pieter de Hooch
Saturday, 17 May, 2025
Well, here we are my friends, the 100th and final episode! We go back to where it all started, the National Gallery of Art, for a look at one of Pieter de Hooch's idealized depictions of what a Dutch household was supposed to be. This cozy home may have been more wishful thinking than reality, though! We'll find out how an embarrassing meeting helped create the Gallery! And I'll share final thoughts and thank yous and a few podcast recommendations I think you'll really like (listed below). If you want to follow along, you can find it here on the Gallery's site SHOW NOTES "A Long Look" themes are "Easy" by Ron Gelinas https://youtu.be/2QGe6skVzSs and "At the Cafe with You" by Onion All Stars https://pixabay.com/users/onion_all_stars-33331904/ Episode Music "The Well Tempered Clavier, Book I, BWV 846-869 - Prelude No. 19 in A major, BWV 864" composed by Johann Sebastian Bach.
