‘Het Lammeken’ (the little lamb) is the other of the so-called ‘Schotse Huizen’ in Veere. Like its neighbour ‘De Struys’ (see previous post) it got its name from its gable stone. The house was built in 1539 for Joos Olivers, a merchant of Scottish origin. If you look closely at the very decorative cramp irons you can spot thistles, the national emblem of Scotland since the 13th century. It’s quite a miracle the house survived as intact as it did. Victor de Stuers (1843-1916), a Dutch art historian and politician who is often considered the father of the preservation of cultural heritage in the Netherlands, bought the house in 1881 and donated it to the State on the condition it would be preserved and restored. @museumveere @nationalemonumenten #veere #zeeland #museumveere #nederland #netherlands #schotsehuizen #scottishhouses #architecture #16thcentury #thistle #scotland #gothic #nationalemonumentenorganisatie #victordestuers #culturalheritage (bij Veere) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4K1BW9lmVO/?igshid=svxj1ztmktju

Danielle Vidal-Ausseil expositie Veere Museum

EXHIBITION IN VEERE ; 30th OF APRIL TILL THE END OF OCTOBER 2022.

The exhibition in Veere, Zeeland, with the NKvt, wil be planned in the summer 2022 : Het Veerse Licht 2.0, Museum Veere, De Schotse Huizen, Kaai 25.

"Tijdens mijn bezoek in Veere, net voor de Pandemie, raakte ik gefascineerd door de transparantie van het water, het Veerse meer onder andere. Ik ontdekte een rijke en barokke bodem onder water, versierd met boeketten van wilde oesters. Een tweede element vond ik ook bijzonder, maar deze stond op het water zelf, de aanwezigheid van eenzame steigers, strakke geometrische figuren in een organische omgeving. Zij waren waarschijnlijk niet meer gebruikt zoals vroeger, en waren soms versleten en kapot.

De samenstelling van wat onder en boven water gebeurde, was voor mij een bron van inspiratie om iets te vertellen via mijn tekeningen over Veere en "Het Veerse Licht".

A detail of ‘De Struys’ (the ostrich) in Veere, one of the so-called ‘Schotse Huizen’ or Scottish Houses. The house got its name from the gable stone that can be seen here and was built between 1539 and 1561. Veere was a staple port from 1541 until 1799 for goods from Scotland, mainly wool, destined for the Netherlands. The close relation between Veere and Scotland dates back to the 15th century when Wolfert VI van Borselen (1433-1486), Lord of Veere, married Mary Stewart (142?-1465), daughter of King James I of Scotland (1394-1437). Nowadays the house is part of @museumveere @nationalemonumenten #veere #zeeland #museumveere #schotsehuizen #scottishhouses #zeeland #nederland #netherlands #16thcentury #gothic #architecture #gevelsteen #gablestone (bij Veere) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4KuVAYFvqJ/?igshid=1d7xadxilaqqu

The old town hall of the historic city of Veere in Zeeland, which was an important trading city in the 15th and 16th century. It is a wonderful example of secular Gothic architecture in the Netherlands that has withstood the passage of time almost unchanged. Building started in 1474, most likely after designs by 15th century master builder Evert Spoorwater, and lasted until 1517. The tower was added in the late 16th century. Nowadays it is one of the locations of @museumveere and is still used for weddings. #veere #zeeland #stadhuis #townhall #gothic #15thcentury #16thcentury #history #architecture #architectuur #museumveere #nederland #netherlands (bij Veere) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4IdspdlDic/?igshid=1bj59fe3vq85
