Exactly 350 years later, exactly (well, almost) the same view. ⏳ Some places withstand the onslaught of time, such as the famous Golden Bend on the Herengracht in Amsterdam, a cityscape that Gerrit Berckheyde painted several times. ✨

There are 17 million people living in the Netherlands. We have 23 million bicycles. That’s 1,3 bicycle per inhabitant. Unique in the world! Just like this Delft Blue tile. What other Typical Dutch phenomenon should we morph into a tile? 🚲

Most people are familiar with one or more of these works. But anyone who hasn't actually stood in front of them probably doesn’t realise how surprisingly tiny or colossal they are. For instance, did you know how overwhelming it is to view the Battle of Waterloo in real life? 😵J

Markets are for the ages! When British amateur photographer James Higson travelled around the Netherlands in 1904 he stumbled on a market at the Nieuwmarkt in Amsterdam. More than 100 years later on the same spot: yup, there still is a market going on! 🛒

Rembrandt portrays his 19-year-old son Titus as a Franciscan monk. The rules of the Order prescribe a life of poverty and humility, reflected in his coarse cloak and air of quiet introspection.

Fishing for Souls makes it clear that politics and religion were inextricably linked. Perhaps Van de Venne got a little bored, because he couldn’t resist hiding a brilliant joke – a most lifelike fly – in his work. 🪰

The Dutch are Burgundian at heart. Five hundred years ago that was… well actually, just the same as today. Even now, the average 'borrelbord' (snack tray) contains more cheese and snacks than are good for us. 🧀🤤

Vermeer’s Woman Reading A Letter is the ultimate example of his use of the colour blue. Vermeer used the semiprecious stone lapis lazuli to achieve this colour. Although he was far from wealthy, he often used this expensive raw material. 💙💌rijksmuseum.nl/storiesEhx
