This painting grabbed my attention - I never saw rocks painted so nicely. And the lady lost in thought brings the viewer into thoughts about sitting quietly, and being one with nature.

Yes, that is a beautiful picture! Those rocks look almost real, the colors are really nice. \:\)

Sir Anthony van Dyck (many variant spellings), (22 March 1599 – 9 December 1641) was a Flemish artist who became the leading court painter in England. He is most famous for his portraits of Charles I of England and his family and court, painted with a relaxed elegance that was to be the dominant influence on English portrait-painting for the next 150 years. - Wikipedia.com

At the bottom of the painting, it mentioned Princess so and so 19 something to 19 something.....One of them was 15 years and the other was a few years, I think it was three....can't turn back to the picture while I am typing.....anyways....I wonder if that is how long they lived? Do you know?

Yes, that is what I would assume. One died at 15 and the other at 3.

Yes they did. The little one could have died of any one of now common childhood illnesses. The age of the older one could mean that she died in childbirth.

It must of been really hard on the parents those days loosing their children at such an early age. There must of been many heartaches and sorrow.

A German sunset painting. "Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840)was born in Greifswald, Hither Pomerania. Relevant as a background to his work are the strict Lutheran creed of his father and his early familiarity with death: his mother died when he was seven, his sister succumbed to typhus fever and his brother drowned in a frozen lake, allegedly while trying to save Friedrich, under whose feet the ice had cracked." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspar_David_Friedrich
