## Commentary

Adriaen Brouwer, a Fleming who worked with Frans Hals in Haarlem, later went on to Antwerp, where he was much admired by Rubens, who collected many of his coarse, uncompromising scenes of peasant life. Surprisingly, Brouwer&#39;s landscapes can have an almost Romantic quality, not that far from those of Rubens but sketchier and more in the modern manner, as in this Dune Landscape by Moonlight. &lt;P&gt; &lt;TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR=&#34;\#99CCCC&#34;&gt; &lt;TR VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;IMG SRC=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 16 minutes\):&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A HREF=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/beethoven/beethoven\_moonlight\_sonata.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;B&gt;Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor op. 27 No. 2 \(Moonlight\)&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;
