About this deal

De Verstandige Kok (The Sensible Cook) is published for the first time. Geared towards middle- and upper middle-class families, the book advises a regular and balanced diet, including fresh meat at least once a week, frequent servings of bread and cheese, stew, fresh vegetables and salads. While simple dishes, such as porridge, pancakes and soup with bread are eaten by all classes, studies reveal that only the affluent have regular access to fresh vegetables during the period; the less wealthy depend on dried peas and beans. In antiquity, stringed instruments held a place of great esteem. The cithara, for instance, was esteemed enough to be dedicated to Apollo, while the flute was consecrated to Dionysius due to his associations with revelry and festivities. Consequently, it was regarded as one of the most basic musical instruments, and this perception endured to a considerable extent until the 17th century. We are starting with a small number of achievable targets for funds raised as part of the Building and Library Funds:

In the paintings of the 1660s the painted surfaces are smoother and less tactile, the lighting schemes tend to be less bold. These pictures convey and impalpable air of reticence and introspection, unique among genre painters with the possible exception of Gerrit ter Borch. The fourth painting is The Geographer (1669), often suggested to be modelled by Anthonie van Leeuwenhoek.The Concert presents a very similar deep spatial recession similar to the earlier The Music Lesson. Vermeer's interest in the accurate portrayal of three dimensional perspective to create such an effect was shared by other interior genre painters of the time, however, only Vermeer seems to have fully and consciously understood the expressive function of perspective. The two paintings' underlying theme of music between male and female company is also analogous although few critics believe they were conceived as a pendant. Maria Thins empowers Vermeer to collect various debts owed to her and to reinvest the money according to his will and discretion. Vermeer's mother-on-law evidently maintained her moral and financial support of Vermeer and his family. In the context of painting, the term "pendant" refers to a pair of artworks that are intentionally created to be displayed together, often side by side, as complementary pieces. Pendants are typically linked by a common theme, subject matter, style or format and they are designed to enhance each other's meaning or visual impact when viewed together. The term originates from the French word "pendre," meaning "to hang."

Paradise Lost is written by John Milton, who has been blind since 1652 but has dictated to his daughters the 10-volume work on the fall of man ("Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven." Milton's Adam questions the angel Raphael about celestial mechanics, Raphael replies with some vague hints and then says that "the rest from Man or Angel the great Architect did wisely conceal and not divulge His secrets to be scann'd by them who ought rather admire." The work enjoys sales of 1,300 copies in 18 months and will be enlarged to 12 volumes in 1684, the year of Milton's death; Annus Mirabilis by John Dryden is about the Dutch War and last year's Great Fire. Nicolas Poussin, French painter, dies. Known as the founder of French Classicism, he spent most of his career in Rome which he reached at age 30 in 1624. His Greco-Romanism work includes The Death of Chione (1622–1623) and The Abduction of the Sabine Women.

Caps and bonnets were another staple, frequently worn over a coif. These could range from simple linen pieces to more elaborate creations made of luxurious materials and adorned with ribbons or lace. The millstone collar, although not a hat, was a unique feature of Dutch fashion that framed the face much like a headpiece. Made of starched linen, these collars were often intricately pleated and could be quite elaborate, adding a distinctive touch to a woman's appearance. Each of Vermeer's paintings tells a story. In one, a military officer leans toward a laughing girl; in another, a woman stands by a window and weighs silver; in a third, fruit spills from a porcelain bowl onto a lavish Turkish carpet. The learning architecture is evident through the established and successful Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) that support teachers to collaborate, grow professionally and analyse evidence of learning and growth: A strong commitment to continuous professional learning that is expertly led and delivered and enables deep learning and insights about practice; the introduction of the Connect Program; and creation of innovative learning spaces. A learning culture is evidenced through an aligned vision, whole school commitment to the Mac.Rob values, time for professional learning being prioritised and effectively used, strong internal accountability, inquiry skills being nurtured, and resources provided and shared. The most conspicuous argument against their pendant status is that the Girl with a Flute doesn't uphold the overall technical excellence of its counterpart. However, scientific analysis reveals that the inconsistencies can be reasonably attributed to the subpar state of conservation of the Girl with a Flute. Alternatively, the possibility that the work was intentionally left unfinished remains open.
