Rembrandt’s studio-home in Amsterdam, which recently reopened after renovations, features rooms refurbished to resemble his living quarters, an exhibition of drawings, and his tender portrait of his son
Johannes Vermeer’s name is on nearly everyone’s lips these days, but what about his great contemporary, Rembrandt van Rijn? He’s in the news, too, owing to the newly reopened and revamped Rembrandt House Museum, where he lived and worked for close to 20 years.
The stately three-story red-brick building was erected in 1606, the year Rembrandt was born. By the time he bought the upscale property 33 years later, he had become one of the most successful painters, art teachers and art dealers in the country. Here, over the next 19 years, his life unfolded, charted by the creation of masterpieces like “The Night Watch” but also marked by personal tragedy.
