SUMMARY:Mansion House and Dutch Art
DESCRIPTION:David Thompson\, who previously took us on an excellent tour of the Wren Churches\,\nwill give us a brief history of the Mansion House but this is essentially a visit to see\nthe Harold Samuel Collection of Dutch & Flemish 17 th century paintings\, bequeathed\nto the City of London in 1987. The collection of 84 paintings\, including works by\nsuch names as Nicolaes Maes\, Jacob Ochtervelt\, Adrien van Ostade and Jan Steen\,\nis considered one of the finest of the genre in Britain. Perhaps the best known\npicture is by Frans Hals of The Merry Lute Player. This made history when it was\nbought for Lord Samuel at auction in New York in 1963\, partly because of the record\nprice but mostly because it was the first occasion that bidding was conducted by\ntelephone from London. \nMansion House Station is on the District/Circle Line and a 4 minute walk to the\nMansion House. Bank on the Waterloo & City\, Northern\, Hammersmith & Circle\nLines and DLR (Bank Branch) is closer. \nRefunds: the cost (minus an administration fee) of booking an event will normally\nbe refunded on cancellation up to one month before the event or up to the point\nwhere we incur expenditure for reservations\, whichever is the earlier. \nClosing date: Monday 13 May\n7\n——————————————————————————————————-
