In the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, mince pie was a dish made for holidays and special occasions, made with meat and flavored with fruit, currants, raisins, spices and lemon slices. What do you imagine it tastes like? <a href="http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=72869" title="http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=72869" rel="nofollow">http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=72869</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/banquet-piece-mince-pie-willem-claesz-heda-1635#comments European Painting For Kids Painting Still Life Willem Claesz Heda Learning to Look National Gallery of Art, Washington http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/61/61af1a23b84e9bf4/poster-image-04.jpg 61af1a23b84e9bf4 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:52:33 +0000 s-sarraf 8811 at http://artbabble.org
