On this quay of the Rhine in the city of Leyden, Holland, Rembrandt van Rijn had his first studio from 1624. The Rijn (Rhine) river is called ‘Galgewater’ (Gallows Water) here because from 1659 to 1795, the bodies of those executed were hanging on gallows placed along the river here a little further on. That quay is the ‘Kort Galgewater’ (Short Gallows Water). Rembrandt was born opposite that studio (and opposite that windmill , just outside the frame on the left here, near the drawbridge).

The Rembrandt Bridge is a double wooden drawbridge over the Rijn (Rhine) river on the edge of the historic centre of the Dutch city of Leiden. The bridge — a replica of the original build in 1650 — is named after the painter Rembrandt van Rijn. The post mill De Put (The Pit), is a replica of the windmill that stood here in Rembrandt’s time , opposite the similar malt mill of Rembrandt’s family – on the other side of the Rijn river where Rembrandt was born and raised.

Resistance Atelier Marcel Hastir | 20230419 | Miracles•Media | Speech by Frank Schwalba-Hoth on the Belgian painter, theosophist, resistance fighter Marcel Hastir (1906-2011) in his Brussels’ Atelier, Aug 2015. Film & translation by Michel van der Burg.
Speech
“Marcel Hastir is a very clever man.
He studied German law…
…knows it like the Germans.
He is doing something mean,
staying within the frame of the law.
He discovered…
that a German law says,
that in Occupied Territory…
when you have a school,
a drawing school,
the teachers and students…
should not go to Germany
as forced laborers.
What did he do :
He found a lawyer .. a notary here in Brussels,
who made the stamps :
“it’s still a drawing school”.
And, many of the people of the resistance…
were officially registered here…
as painters, as a teacher or as a student.
And when we go upstairs later,
you still see the typewriter,
used by the resistance for printing…
leaflets against the nazis.”
