Modern art and classic art. The combination of old and new things is sometimes beautiful.

This picture was made in my living room. The Ericofons as new art in the cabinet that you already have seen. The classic painting next to it, is a reproduction of a self-portrait of Rembrandt. The painting was made by a local painter Johan Rockx (1892-1952) and it is most likely a study from him dating back to the 1920’s or 1930’s. He became more famous for his “ship and harbor view” paintings later on.

The painting was adopted by my parents around 1970. Two years ago, I inherited this. Not because I think it is beautiful but because it has always been here. It reminds me of my childhood and therefor it will always stay here.
