Sidney Chambers is a charming clergyman who turns into an investigator when one of his parishioners dies under suspicious circumstances in this drama set in 1953. He partners up with gruff, down-to-earth police inspector Geordie Keating, whose methodical approach to police work complements Sidney’s intuitive techniques of getting information out of people. The two partners — who bring different insights into the crimes they start to unravel — form a true friendship as they work together. As he is beginning his new career, Sidney’s personal life comes apart when he finds out that Amanda, the woman with whom he is secretly in love, has become engaged, making him think he has missed his chance with her.

1614…Adam van Vianen made this fascinating ewer in memory of his younger brother Paulus, who died in Prague in 1613.

“This ewer is an extreme example of the auricular style, an anti-classical form of design with a flaccid, fluid appearance comprising fantastic sea-creatures and human body parts like bones, ears, sinews and folds of skin. The ewer captured the imagination of numerous painters, in part because its bizarre form allowed it to pass as an object from an ancient and foreign land.”
Examples of the numerous paintings in which it is incorporated include a kitchen scene by Adriaen van Nieulandt…
the Isaac Blessing Jacob by Gerbrand van denn Eeckhout…
and a large canvas by Govert Flinck…
Spot the ewer…
