HOLLAND -- THE RIJKSMUSEUM


15 October 2015   Friday

The last time I visited the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam I was 13 years old.  The only thing I remember is my mother pointing out the huge painting called "Nightwatch" and her telling me it was by the famous artist, Rembrandt.

It was so exciting to be able to go back over 40 years later.  Here are some other of my favorite paintings on display there.


Vermeer, The Milkmaid

Rembrandt, Apostle Paul
                         












                   
Vermeer, The Voorstadt Harbour in Dordrecht
Vermeer, The Little Street

  1. I can't believe you still remember that painting after 40 years! Wow! Those are so neat. I'm glad you finally made it to that museum after such a long time.
