Hendrik Carré painted playful scenes from daily life in the 1700s, working in a Dutch tradition that favored lighthearted narratives. One of his works here is The Catch (1734), a small canvas showing a group of boys fishing by a canal, their hats and coats catching the afternoon light. Tap The Catch to step closer and see how he used tiny brushstrokes to suggest shimmering water and fluttering cloth.
