House of Rembrandt |
Jodenbreestraat 4 Amsterdam 1011 NK +31 (0)20 520 0400 http://www.rembrandthuis.nl |
One of the most famous inhabitants that ever graced Amsterdam is without a doubt Rembrandt van Rijn. The painter was born in Leiden, but moved to Amsterdam to start his career. His house, nowadays called The Rembrandt House, dates from 1606 and the artist and his wife lived in it between 1639 and 1658. It was in this house that famous paintings such as 'De Nachtwacht' were painted. It exhibits 250 of the 300 etchings Rembrandt created. The museum also owns a number of sketches by Rembrandt and paintings by (among others) his teacher Pieter Lastman and some of Rembrandt's apprentices.
