Frimpong has always had a special liking for Flemish and Dutch painters.
He’s a cultivated travelling bear, so his interest for arts could be seen as a simply confirmation of this feature of his.
But recently Frimpong found by chance, into an old trunk forgotten in his attic, some very ancient letters....
Reading them Frimpong discovered with amazement that one of his ancestors was a Dutch lady bear, who lived in Delft.
The proof of this astonishing discovery was in a portrait of Frimpong’s ancestor, painted by the great Dutch master Johannes Vermeer van Delft.
Later Vermeer painted a copy, using a human model, but the original one is the portrait of Claasjepong, one of our Frimpong’s ancestors.
Frimpong was absolutely delighted to accept the invitation to visit Delft, which he received recently from Marie-Jet
He’s in Delft actually, studying Vermeer’s works and having a great time with more mundane activities too.
You’ll have a chance to see his new photos soon; a brand new gallery is going to be open.
