River Landscape with Cows – Aelbert Cuyp
Listen to the Story: 7 minutes
Description:
This evening scene celebrates the peace and prosperity the Dutch were finally enjoying after 80 years of war with Spain. But don’t be fooled by its bucolic vibe. The backstory of its ownership is something straight out of Indiana Jones.
We’ll find out why the cow is a Dutch icon and the clever way one family screwed with the Nazis to keep this out of their hands.
