View of Amsterdam from the Kadijk, Rembrandt van Rijn, c. 1641
etching, h 112mm × w 151mm More details
Rather than depicting Amsterdam from the IJ, as he often did, here Rembrandt shows it from the Kadijk. Clearly recognizable are the Oude Kerk, left of centre, and the mill on the Rijzenhoofd bulwark. Although it has often been thought that he etched this scene in situ, it is doubtful whether this was actually the case.
