Rembrandt’s Studio • @1MEMO 20241225

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).

Rembrandt Bridge Leiden • 20241210

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.
