About this book
Rembrandt's Amsterdam is a book by Frits Lugt. An illustrations list includes a plan of the city of Amsterdam about 1650 and a plate captioned View of Amsterdam from the East, after the etching by Rembrandt.
A plate caption says that the inn called de Keizers Kroon in the Kalverstraat, Amsterdam, is where Rembrandt's collections were sold by auction, after his bankruptcy. A caption for Plate 18 says that the receding building is the Doelen for which Rembrandt painted The Night Watch. The text says that the street followed the course of a dike, called the St. Anthoniesdÿk, which was then and had always been an important way of access to Amsterdam. The text says that even the greatest events in the history of the Netherlands were in those times generally accounted by Amsterdam's citizens as secondary to their town's interest as the greatest commercial centre.
