Eighteen young Flemish and Dutch authors have taken inspiration from seventeenth-century artefacts from the Rijksmuseum. Looking at these objects, what eureka moments do they see? A silver-lidded ewer in ‘lobed’ or ‘auricular’ style, made by Adam van Vianen (I), inspired Zindzi Tillot to write this text. ‘It’s about my head, from which that one idea is supposed to bubble up’
Adam van Vianen (I), Lidded ewer, silver gilt, 1614
