Johan Anthoniszoon 'Jan' van Riebeeck (April 21, 1619 - January 18, 1677), was a Dutch colonial administrator and founder of Cape Town. Commissioned by the Dutch East India Company, the merchant Jan van Riebeeck established the European settlement in South Africa at Cape Town, anchoring in the bay at the foot of the Table Mountain on April 6, 1652. Cape Town is called the Mother City to this day. Van Riebeeck joined the Dutch East India Company and sailed to Batavia in April 1639, as an assistant surgeon, having learned the craft from his surgeon father. From there he went to Japan, and in 1645, Van Riebeeck was given charge of the company trading station at Tongking (Tonkin, now in Vietnam). Van Riebeeck was recalled from the post in Tongking by the Dutch authorities when it was discovered that he was conducting trade for his own account. On his voyage back from and Indochina, the ship stopped for 18 days in the sheltered Table Bay, near the Cape of Good Hope at the south end of Afric

Portrait of a Man Frans Hals (Dutch, ca. 1580-1666). Portrait of a Man, ca. 1614-1615. Oil on canvas, 29 x 21 3/4 in. (73.7 x 55.2 cm).  In this painting by Frans Hals, an unidentified, well-to-do man holds a miniature portrait of a woman, perhaps his wife or fiancée. The hand holding the miniature appears to extend through the simulated oval frame and into the viewers own space, an effect known as trompe loeil (fool the eye). The loose and bold brushwork for which Hals is known—especially evident in the mans lace collar and hair—greatly influenced a number of nineteenth-century artists including Giovanni Boldini, whose painting is on view nearby.
